Avoid at all costs

Lolita was my attorney through my divorce and acted as if she represented my ex husband, with his best interests in mind. I had to fight with her to not let my ex husband get money from the sale of my house, even when he agreed to take nothing. I had to fight her to get the child support amount above... $200 for both kids, because she wanted to just take his word for how much money he made, instead of checking pay stubs. I’m not sure where any of the good reviews came from because I also came across several others who also had issues.

The best Family Attorney

I highly recommend Attorney Beyah for handling all family matters. She is thorough, attentive to her clients' needs, and gets the job done. Before going to court, I was quite nervous, but she guided us through the process and explained what to expect from the judge. There were no surprises in court. ...If you're looking for excellent legal representation, I recommend Tessa Edwards Law Firm in Atlanta and suggest asking for Attorney Beyah.

Very professional

Lolita and her team went above and beyond to ensure that my divorce process went as smooth as possible. They were very professional and kept me informed along the way. They also made sure that all of my questions were answered in a timely manner. They exceeded my expectations and I will happily recom...mend this team to assist you in the future.

THANKS FOR FIGHTING FOR ME!

I just one to give a HUGE THANK YOU to the Marietta team of Meriwether and Tharp. This team really put me at ease. If I could give a million stars I would. Divorce is not easy but this team surely helped the process go smooth for me. I love the fact that they keeps things realistic with the situation... at hand and they helped me to look at somethings from a future prospect. I love y’all and May God’s Blessing be upon all that helped me through this difficult process. Thanks for fighting for me.

One of a kind

I hired Lolita to represent my CS and custody case and I was very satisfied with the outcome. Throughout the case I remained well informed on the progress, I received emails regularly and I felt comfortable communicating with Lolita and her team in events where I had questions or comments. We handled... the entire case including the hearings virtually due to the pandemic and court closures, which I was initially very nervous about but in the end I did not feel that the virtual process was any less efficient than face to face. I will say that Lolita is very straight forward, I met with a few other attorneys before retaining and from my first conversation with Lolita I noticed a difference. She was honest and prepared me for realistic expectations. Though Lolita is a great attorney, the actual reason why I took the time to write this review is because what I appreciated the most about her was how compassionate she was to my specific situation, you don’t see that much in attorneys. When under a high level of stress/emotions it is so refreshing to have someone in your corner who not only wants you to have the best possible outcome in the courtroom but also in life.
