Review

I hired Natalie Teston for a very high-conflict custody case, and I am so grateful for the representation I received. She was steady, strategic, and always focused on what was best for my children. Her expertise and calm approach helped me navigate a stressful and overwhelming process with confidenc...e. The paralegal, Dawn, was also incredible — organized, responsive, and always available to answer my questions quickly. Together, they made a strong, supportive team that kept me informed and reassured every step of the way. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing a lawyer!

Make her your person - you won't regret it!

If you're looking for a divorce attorney (with a phenomenal team behind her!) who truly understands what you're going through, Natalie is a unique gem. From the moment you step into her office, it’s clear that you’re not just another case – you’re a person. As someone who’s been through the emotional... rollercoaster of sorting out the pieces of a contested divorce, I can honestly say that working with Natalie and her incredible team felt like having a circle of girlfriends who were there to support me step by step. Not only is Natalie a fierce advocate for women, but she also brings an amazing balance of professionalism and warmth to the table. She is incredibly knowledgeable, and you can trust that she is not afraid to fight for your best interests with assertiveness and skill. Beyond that, what truly sets her apart is her team. They are not just legal experts; they’re a group of genuinely and supportive women who make you feel seen and heard. Dawn's sense of humor is sunshine on a cloudy day! The office is an oasis when you're going through turmoil; where you feel like you can breathe and know that you're in good hands. After each meeting, I would leave the office feeling like I just had a coffee date with friends, not stressed and overwhelmed. That’s a rare and invaluable feeling when you’re navigating such a difficult and personal time in your life. I can’t recommend Natalie and her team enough - make her your person, you won't regret it.

Exceeds all Expectations

Natalie and her team could not have been more personable, honest, and comforting. They were prompt in returning phone calls, emails, and text. She, and her team, provided me comfort in some of the most difficult moments of my life while I navigated my legal proceedings. Always professional and I felt... I had the very best of care working with their firm. I would recommend them to any family member or friend seeking legal counsel.

Natalie and her team is amazing.

Natalie and her paralegal Dawn did an amazing job handling my case. I wouldn’t have wanted anyone else to handle my case. Thank you.

Best in the biz! (READ BELOW!)

My family and I employed the services of Natalie & her team (Heather) for my custody case involving my daughter, whose mother absconded with her from the state. My case is a long & complicated one, but what I will say is that until my family & I found Natalie, I had no hope. After Natalie & H...eather became part of my team I felt I was in good hands! Heather is responsive, professional, compassionate and very personable. She always responded promptly to my questions, concerns, and made me feel heard. Natalie is an absolute light-beam in a dark room. I went through 2 different Georgia attorneys before finding Natalie & the difference in quality of representation is OBVIOUS. Natalie is: professional, encouraging, energetic, enthusiastic, compassionate & has a way of putting you at ease when you are in the midst of the worst experience you have ever been through. It takes a very specific type of attorney to be effective in family law, in my opinion they MUST be: compassionate, professional, knowledgeable, passionate, dedicated & responsive. Natalie is all those things and above! She & her team are the only ones I’ve met along this journey that made me feel heard, supported and actually fought for me. I am beyond grateful to have found Natalie & her team! My only regret? I wish I found them sooner! I wish I had skipped the heartache of pouring my heart out time & again for attorneys, who at the end of the day didn’t care. Natalie & her team care. They will work long hours, weekends, and they will be there quite literally “around the clock” for you. Please, if you are going through a situation like mine - go for an attorney who will actually be there for you. Natalie & her team are it!
