Best Lawyer so Far

I had a child custody matter that seem as if it would go on for ever and not in my favor. I had spoken with Ms Elam and she just made me feel like it would all be ok just keep doing what i was doing and she would take care of the rest. Well, low and behold at the end of my journey it ended very well ...and i was pleased. I want to thank her for everything she has done for me and i would recommend her to my friends and family.Thanks again Ms Elam

Do Not use Tyesha Elam for Family Law

I only put a one(1) because I could not put zero. This lady has no business being an attorney and needs to go back to school or give it up. I just spent nearly $2000 for a simple contempt of court on my ex-wife. She does not answer your calls or keep you informed once she gets your money. She did not... put what I asked her to put into the petition and was not knowledgeable when in court. It seemed like she was being educated at my expense. I was also asking for jail time for my wife and told her that I would only pay if that was sought. She told the judge she didn't think it was a good idea after getting chummy with my ex before court. I am reporting her to the State Bar and am considering suing her in civil court for her non-performance. She should not be practicing law.

not a good attorney in my opinion

I would never recommend this lawyer. In my opinion, she just wasn't knowledgeable enough. My first and last impression of hiring an attorney was HORRIBLE!!!
