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.

Lolita is an excellent attorney who possesses a companionate understanding of the trauma a divorce can cause. With an understanding of my objectives, Lolita managed my expectations throughout the process, and she guided me to a fair and reasonable resolution.

It took over 2 years for my wife go agree to a settlement. Through it all Ms. Beyah demonstrated incredible patience in working through 3 different attorney's that represented my wife. She kept me focused on the important issues of the case helping me to maintain a clear, calm head when solutions s...eemed out of reach. I certainly give her and Merriwether and Tharpe my highest rating and recommendation.

Simply a pleasure!

This was one of the most difficult times I’ve had to face in a long time. It was so much unknown, confusion and frustration. I will say Lolita got to work. She ensured me that everything would be ok and held my hand during the entire process. She was factual, fair and honest and that’s what I neeeded.... Her team made this a great experience with an awesome outcome.
