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!

Best Lawyer Ever !

My son was going to be in need of a lawyer for his soon to be baby girl. I found Natalie and I sure am glad I did. Over the past 3 yrs now she has been involved in our lives with getting custody for my son and then doing modifications and still being able to get the best out come for them. Natalie an...d her crew are the best keeping us informed and letting us know what needs to be done. I would never use anyone else in cases like my sons. Highly recommeded.

Hiring Natalie will be the best decision you'll make.

I was really caught off guard when my wife of 30 years filed for divorce. I met with Natalie after my first attorney failed miserably representing me in my divorce. After my consultation with Natalie I could tell she was very professional, ethical and would protect me during my divorce. Natalie h...ad to simultaneously clean up the mess my first attorney made and got my case moving in the right direction. Natalie excels at keeping her clients informed, I was always kept informed about every detail of my case. When I would email or call I would always get a quick and thoughtful response to my questions or concerns. When Natalie would send something to opposing counsel it was always sent to me for approval. If I didn’t understand something or had questions they were always addressed quickly and nothing was done unless I fully understood the process. Communication was excellent from start to finish. Natalie was always very clear when it came to strategy, she also kept me very realistic when it came to my expectations which I greatly appreciated. Natalie helped me avoid the many pitfalls of a divorce and every move she made was designed to protect me and to get the best judgement possible in my divorce. I was required to do court ordered mediation. Natalie, Sarah and I met with my wife and opposing counsel for over 9 hours of mediation. Honestly it didn’t even feel like a fair fight. Not only did I get what I needed, I got more than I expected. One thing I learned in this process you are most likely never going to get everything you want but a great attorney like Natalie will get you everything you need. In my case I got that and then some. In my case I was able to avoid court, if I had to go that route I would have felt very confident with Natalie by my side. There were several times after binding mediation my wife and opposing counsel would try to overturn key issues or make unfounded accusations. Natalie would defend me vigorously and opposing counsel would back down every time. As I stated before this wasn’t even a fair fight with Natalie representing me. During my divorce I experienced what it was like to hire an unethical attorney, the sense of relief I felt after I hired Natalie I’m not sure I can express with words. Divorce is really hard and extremely emotional, hiring the right attorney from the start is one of the most important decisions you will make. Hiring Natalie is without a doubt the best decision you are going to make in your divorce. Natalie, Sarah and Gina are all fantastic. They all worked very hard to help me through this very difficult process. I am very thankful and feel blessed that I found them, I will never forget everything they did for me.

Very knowledgeable and responsive!

Natalie and Dawn were incredibly knowledgeable and responsive throughout the entire ordeal. When my custody battle began, I was worried how things would work out. Natalie immediately put me at ease, clearly having a thorough knowledge of family law. Dawn was always quick to respond to my numerous que...stions. They worked tirelessly to get me the best outcome that I could expect.

Reputation built on results!

I have nothing but rave reviews for this firm. They have represented me in multiple cases. When filing for divorce the first time I was represented by Bob Coleman, fast-forward 7 years; now by Natalie Teston. Yes. It took me a second time in the ring to follow through with my divorce so they know me ...and my situation very well by now. When filing for the second time, I felt a gut punch when I was told that Bob was no longer handling family law. That man commands a courtroom with such dignity. When I was told Natalie wanted to represent me; exhale because I know her reputation in the courtroom as well, and she is without a doubt a force to be reckoned with and also commands a courtroom with such poise and grace. My case had me needing representation in more than one courtroom. Natalie made sure her net was cast far and wide knowing what was likely ahead. She and her team Sarah Richardson, Dawn Smith, and Gina Rios are all amazing at what they do! Sarah stepped right in, assisted, communicated, and represented in what was uncharted territory. She assured me and did not waiver. Dawn Smith is always a strong presence, keeping the momentum; the glue holding it together. With Natalie ushered in comes Gina. I know her well from my first case. She was on her A-game then and well now she's simply perfected it. I needed a strong attorney and team to take on what I knew was coming my way, and these ladies more than delivered every step of the way! Natalie’s arena is the courtroom. That's where the works her magic! I cannot say enough about not only what an amazing attorney she is, but also what an incredible person she is. I appreciate her more than I could ever express, for sticking with me through the messiness of it all. This firm is top-notch. It doesn't get any better than this! Much Respect!
