Satisfied Client

Ms. Decosta was attentive, patient, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful. I currently live out of the state, and I had to travel back and forth for all court appointments. She ensured that I received all information in a timely manner so that I could make adequate travel arrangements since I an bond ...to a wheelchair. She returned any phone calls or messages in a timely fashion as I had many questions. Her expertise helped to guide me throughout the process which ultimately resulted in me be awarded the alimony I deserved. I am extremely appreciative and grateful to have connected with her.

Heart ache...

She did a great job is court, but now is impossible to reach or get ahold of her.. Paid her to handle the QDRO which has not been done... I’ve left at least 25 messages for her which I have dates and times. I’ve even gone to her office four times and left messages for her asking the status of the se...ttlement and for her to contact me... She’s never there. This is More then Two years ago now... I’m Disabled and Feel like I'm being taken advantage of because of this . Any help that I can get will be greatly appreciated Thank you and God Bless

Excellent experience

This lawyer went up against a top AVVO lawyer my ex hired. They were taking me to court for some pretty expensive attorney fees. Her consultation was free she seemed caring and i felt I could trust her. She flat out handled her business against this other attorney and I did not have to pay any fees ...period. Her pricing was pretty reasonable compared to others I have called.

Impeccable Professional

I hired Ms. DeCosta to represent me in my divorce. My husband (ex) hired one of the best attorneys in Charlotte. However, that did not intimidate Ms. DeCosta. Her firm was friendly, proficient and sincere. This was a very difficult time for me and my two young sons. Ms. DeCosta checked in with m...e, several weeks after my divorce was finalized, just to make sure that I was holding up well. I will never forget the impeccable professionalism, knowledge and empathy shown for my case. Thanks Ms. DeCosta!

Very pleased

Ms. Decosta was hired to help me with child support. She charged a flat fee which was very reasonable. I used another attorney previous for my divorce and was charged for every email and phone call that we had with each other, this became very expensive. Ms. Decosta was very knowledgable and prof...essional about child support and divorce issues. I found her to be very timely and friendly. I felt she really was concerned. I highly recommend Ms. Decosta for anyone in need of her services. She went above and beyond.
