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!

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!

Amazing Job

Natalie and her team, especially Heather, were great to work with while going through my divorce. They did an excellent job in communicating with me throughout the process and helping me get through it. They are very responsive and professional.

Best attorney and best money spent!!!

I found Mrs. Teston and her team by searching for an attorney to help protect my grandson. I did the consult with her and loved her energy and confidence. I refused to go to anyone else after speaking with her. This case started 2 years ago . I met her team her paralegal Gina Rios. The two of them pu...t up with me and my anxiety and worry and concerns like no one else . They are a dynamite team. Then I met Sarah Richardson another attorney at Coleman Chambers and Rogers. She was also so supportive and made sure to answer any questions I had. She would give me great advice to assure me everything is going in the right direction. If I ever have to have another family attorney this team would be my go to . 100 percent hands down. Mrs. Teston kept me calm during final trial and assured me she has everything under control . With her team she was able to do her job and make sure the judge seen and heard everything and all I had to do was sit quiet and watch her be amazing . They are honest and respond quickly and make sure that you feel like you are their only client in reality I know there was more than just my case . I have never felt as important as all of them made me feel . In the end my grandson is safe and still happy and growing ,and has a chance at a wonderful life thanks to these ladies. Thank you for helping another kid win in this crazy world . you all were and are amazing .

Expert Legal Representation

I have been brought to court so many times by my ex. Here we go again and I find my teen daughter making normal mistakes but I get blamed for them even though I don’t have primary physical custody. My ex and her lawyer tried to do an ex parte hearing to remove my daughter from being able to visit me.... Once my daughter and I found out, we were both devastated because we have a very close relationship. So, I sought a legal team to put an end to this harassment. Upon interviewing Natalie and giving her the details, she immediately recognized that the plaintiff and her lawyer had a conflict of interest involving my teen daughter in this lawsuit. Natalie’s keen eye for details and legal representation led to an immediate end of the lawsuit with me winning joint physical custody and my daughter able to visit me as often as she decides. Further restraints were placed on my ex so she can’t just file another lawsuit against me without giving me a chance to see what the issue is and correct it if one actually exists. Hiring Natalie and her team was the best decision and now my daughter and I are enjoying our time together.
