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!

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!

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.

Really had my back!

I knew I needed professional help, I would not be able to be non-emotional and handle my divorce on my own. I also knew how important it was to have an attorney in my home county. I reached out to CCR and had a consult with Natalie Teston. Right from the start, our personalities meshed and I felt N...atalie would be the correct legal rep I needed in my corner. I hired her and along with her paralegal Gina Rios, they kept me strong and watched my back. From start to finish it took about 5 months and with their guidance, we were able to finalize the divorce without mediation or being in front of a judge. I would highly recommend Natalie Teston. She listens, she cares, and she has your back!
