Best Lawyer out there

After nearly three years of a custody battle, we finally reached a successful outcome, and we could not have done it without Natalie and her paralegal team. We have worked with her in the past, and once again she delivered excellence at the highest level. This case required patience, strategy, res...ilience, and unwavering advocacy, and she demonstrated all of that consistently from start to finish. She was prepared, knowledgeable, and confident while also being honest, clear, and supportive throughout the process. Her paralegal, Dawn was equally outstanding, organized, responsive, compassionate, and always on top of the details. Communication was timely and professional, and we always felt informed and prepared. Now that she has opened her own practice, it’s clear she has built something truly special. Her integrity, work ethic, and dedication to her clients set her apart in every way. She fights hard, she cares deeply, and she gets results. If you are facing a complex or high-stakes custody matter and want an attorney who will stand with you every step of the way, look no further. We are beyond grateful and give our highest possible recommendation.

Make her your person - you won't regret it!

If you're looking for a divorce attorney (with a phenomenal team behind her!) who truly understands what you're going through, Natalie is a unique gem. From the moment you step into her office, it’s clear that you’re not just another case – you’re a person. As someone who’s been through the emotional... rollercoaster of sorting out the pieces of a contested divorce, I can honestly say that working with Natalie and her incredible team felt like having a circle of girlfriends who were there to support me step by step. Not only is Natalie a fierce advocate for women, but she also brings an amazing balance of professionalism and warmth to the table. She is incredibly knowledgeable, and you can trust that she is not afraid to fight for your best interests with assertiveness and skill. Beyond that, what truly sets her apart is her team. They are not just legal experts; they’re a group of genuinely and supportive women who make you feel seen and heard. Dawn's sense of humor is sunshine on a cloudy day! The office is an oasis when you're going through turmoil; where you feel like you can breathe and know that you're in good hands. After each meeting, I would leave the office feeling like I just had a coffee date with friends, not stressed and overwhelmed. That’s a rare and invaluable feeling when you’re navigating such a difficult and personal time in your life. I can’t recommend Natalie and her team enough - make her your person, you won't regret it.

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!

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!
