The Best Attorney- THANK YOU

Jan 2024, I called Mrs. Teston in a panic due to a contempt motion. She was so amazing. She listened to all my details, no judgement, she executed, and strategized to perfection. I had only 7 days to prepare for court. Mrs. Teston and Paralegal Dawn Smith were simple amazing and incredible. They... did not miss one detail. Dawn kept me abreast on the process and helped /encouraged me along the way. When we went to court, Mrs. Teston was so kind and very intelligent, she visually explained each step in detail. She was strait forward and advise me what to focus on. Most importantly she supported all options possible for me at the time. Thank you for a great experience during my contempt hearing case. You and Dawn are simple the best. :-) I will definitely send referrals your way!!! Beyond Grateful to you and your team!!

Extremely Grateful

Going through my divorce, after being married for over 30 years, is one of the most challenging experiences I’ve ever had to face and I can’t emphasize enough how crucial it is to have the right attorney by your side. This was not my situation with the attorney I had for most of my case and it was d...evastating. Thankfully, I ended up finding Natalie and her team and I couldn’t be more grateful! The moment Natalie took my case I instantly felt a sense of relief and hope. Her competence, experience, and sincere empathy was incredible. Natalie and her team promptly addressed any questions and I always knew I was a priority. Natalie genuinely looked out for my best interests and brought this difficult chapter to the best end possible. I would wholeheartedly recommend Natalie to anyone seeking a divorce attorney who combines legal expertise with genuine care for their clients. Her commitment to achieving the best possible results is truly commendable. Thank you, Natalie, Sarah, and Dawn for everything! I wish I was with all of you from the beginning!

Best Lawyer To Have In Your Corner During Tough Times

Natalie was absolutely amazing during the entire process of my divorce. She took the time to initially understand the history of my story, the current situation, and what my priorities were for a successful resolution. I was amazed by her heightened sense of detail in all of the discussion; discove...ry documents, communications with the other party. I never had to remind her of a relevant piece of information to support our position in the case (Always remembering those intricate details from the hundreds of documents over & over - I've never had an attorney be able to do that before . . . they typically ask the same question 3-5 times). In addition, Natalie did was outstanding in knowing when / when not to communicate with the other party . . . what / what not to disclose in order to keep the advantages in our corner. There were many times I wanted to emotionally go down one path out of frustration but her stoic and resolute mannerisms kept me aligned with the overall objectives. I could write 20 pages relating to the positive experience I had hiring Natalie and her team (Especially Gina, who I couldn't have lived without during those months - she is absolutely a shining star). I would highly recommend Natalie to anybody looking for a competent, creative, and sincere attorney with a great personality. She will understand you . . . she will address your concerns . . . she will fight for you . . . she will empathize with your situation.

Georgia’s Best Family Law Attorney

Natalie Teston is the best family law attorney in the state of Georgia! She restored my family and did what no other lawyer could. Natalie and Dawn went above and beyond in every aspect of our case and got results that didn’t seem achievable. I had the misfortune of having to cycle through and interv...iew many “top” attorneys around Atlanta and none of them hold a candle to Natalie. Natalie genuinely listened to our concerns and devised the best strategy possible and delivered the verdict we needed. Natalie is extremely polite and professional with opposing counsel but is a force to be reckoned with in her filings and during trial. I truly cannot imagine anyone beating Natalie. Dawn totally emotionally supported me throughout this process, kept our case organized when I was frazzled, and advocated for our family as if we were part of hers. I trust them both completely and I’m so grateful for their hard work!

Amazing law firm couldn’t ask for better

I can’t say any better then the fact that the team of Natalie and Dawn along with the rest of the group at Coleman and Chambers are the most professional and nicest people. Natalie took my case in middle of a nasty storm and turned it around and most definitely gave me a better outcome then I could ...have hoped for. Dawn I can’t speak highly enough about her and how she was always fast to communicate and always there when I needed her she really was more like a mother when I needed it the most. The team of Natalie and Dawn got me my 50/50 custody with my kids and made sure I got my fair share of the assets they are a force to be recon with thank y’all so much your like family !
