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!

Great choice

When I unexpectedly found myself in need of a divorce attorney I began doing my homework. As divorce attorneys were recommended to me, I researched them. When Natalie Teston was recommended to me, I looked at her education, experience, and client reviews and decided to set up an interview. During ...that initial interview with Natalie, I found her to be polite, attentive, and very knowledgeable. I thought Natalie was the professional that I needed so I hired her. Natalie did not disappoint. I made a great choice. She always listened to my concerns and her advice was always "spot on". She was always very professional. Her communication was always timely and informative. If I had to go through the process again ... I'd choose Natalie to guide me through. I highly recommend Natalie Teston.

Excellent Attorney

No one sets out to get a divorce. It is normally not in the "plan", but apparently lots have people have been there and your divorce is probably not even the worst thing Natalie has seen. This lady helps you navigate all the awful with a smile. She was very up front with fees and if I did my part I c...ould keep them as low as possible. So I did and there were no surprises. Available if you just had a question, and Gina was also excellent to work with too. This part, the hiring and working with an attorney was practically painless. Also, and this is KEY, through this experience I learned the hard way that (ahem) OTHER attorneys are not always, how do I say this nicely, fighting fair. As in they can be ruthless, awful people. That's fine, they have to live with themselves... but Natalie is one of the good guys. Honest. Up front. Smart. Strategic. And she'll talk you down rationally when you are feeling anything but rational. And she has great looking bangs.

A must!!!! Please read

My family has gone through a 3 yr divorce. We had a horrible prior attorney. We came to Natalie to fix what was incorrect and broken. She knows that law - she will fight for you and she will advise you correctly and NOT conflict you with wrong information. Our case is bad and very difficult. Prior co...uncil and not knowing the law has damaged our case. Natalie is determined - she will advise you what direction you need to go and will give you true factual information. This law firm cares --- Don't make the mistake of retaining the wrong council to fit your financial situation at that time...ITS DAMAGING TO YOUR CASE. Natalie will work with you and steer you in the correct direction. Call her - I can't express this more.
