She won’t be stopped!

Tessa is preparing for my trial in a custody fight that has been on going for many years. She fights for what’s right and won’t be bullied to “settle”. She sees through the BS and fights for the kids!

Absolutely amazing!

My sister hired Tessa for a custody case. She has been relentless in helping and fighting for fair custody. She has really put the needs of the children upfront. You will not be disappointed with Tessa in your corner!

The best in the valley!

If you want the best family law attorney, hire Tessa. She won't disappoint you. Tessa gets things done quickly and in the best interest of the children.

Please protect yourself

Tessa dropped me as a client without telling me. I was given the explanation from her assistant that I made some comments on socail media. After much pressing it turns out my Ex-Wife made some post on her page and thanked her for dropping me. She also missed a court date causing my custody case to be... re-opened only 5 months after we closed. Again, no explanation, call email or text. I validate all of this with emails, phone calls and text messages.

Fathers! Highly Recommend!

I was struggling to maintain a normal relationship with my children due to the other parent keeping them from me during my visitation. As a father, you feel defeated by the system, and feel like you are bound to lose no matter what. I was at the point where I thought I had lost the chance at a relati...onship with them forever. Tessa took the time to collect the facts about my children and how their lives were being negatively impacted. Tessa told me exactly what I needed to , she was more than prepared for each hearing and stayed in contact with me so I knew exactly what was going on. Tessa is fierce, which is what I needed to stand up against someone who is used to winning from lies and manipulation. Tessa was the voice that I needed to tell the judge, and the kids' mom, that I love my kids and I can provide them a health, stable home. I would recommend her to anyone, especially struggling fathers who are desperate to have a relationship with their child(ren), and have been shut down by the mothers, or the system. Tessa will fight for what is right and what is best for your kids.
