Best Lawyer in Atlanta!

I was looking for a lawyer to represent me in my divorce, and I was referred to Lolita Beyah. I was in one of the most vulnerable positions that I have ever been in my life, but after I called Lolita my outlook on my future totally changed. Not only did this phenomenal woman represent me to the fulle...st, she was my cheerleader outside of the courtroom. I was scared and unsure of the whole process, but she walked me through each step. I would call her about my fears and concerns, and each time she would explain the process to me in addition to calming my anxiety and reminding me that I was not alone in the fight. She never lost her patience or made me feel like I was asking too many questions or contacting her too much. I remember when I first found out that I was going to be testifying in a public courtroom, and I was terrified. She stayed on the phone with me until she calmed my fears. Lolita, arranged a meeting, so that she could give me tips on how to conduct myself in a courtroom, and she also gave me one of the most memorable pep talks that you can get from a woman who not only knows what you are going through, but actually wants to make sure that the outcome will put you and your children in a better position. Lolita is also a great lawyer because she wants both parties to work together, so that ultimately the children will benefit. I was prepared to be angry and fight my ex in every way possible, but she reminded me that the goal is to become great co parents to your children. She is not a push over by any means, but she wants both parties at the end to have some common ground, so that the children will not suffer. This was great for me because it made me take myself out of the equation and think of the most important parties in the situation, and that is my children. I ended up not going to court, but we had to do mediation; which took about 4 hours. She was so professional and knew the whole case like the back of her hand. You could tell that she really prepared for my case, and that she sincerely cared about the outcome. I think my husband’s lawyer thought she was a pushover, but he quickly got the hint and moved accordingly. She was able to get everything that I asked for. This was such a blessing for me and my children, since we had went without any support for nine months. My case has been resolved, but Lolita stills checks on me. She takes time out of her busy schedule to give me pep talks and words of encouragement. Not only did I find a lawyer, I found a mentor and a friend. We often get so caught up in doing a job that we forget the small tokens of kindness that add to the entire experience. Lolita has not forgotten this aspect of wonderful customer service. If you need an awesome lawyer, there is no need to look anything further.
