Tessa Jeanean Bennett

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.

I hired Tessa for a custody modification with my ex husband and then my current husband hired her to represent him in a nasty custody battle with his ex. It's been a long 2 years in court but Tessa got us more than we ever expected and we are so grateful! She charges far less than other attorneys of ...her caliber and is always returning my texts, there when we need her, etc. Worth every penny and then some, love her!!

I have had an ongoing custody battle for several years. Through this entire process i have always felt that the attorneys on both sides wanted to just find a resolution and settle the case regardless of what was in the best interest of the child. Its extremely frustrating when you, as a parent know w...hat is in the best interest of your child, but the professionals that you hire to represent you seem to be completely numb to your feelings and frustrations. It's just a bunch of expensive paperwork back and forth that, at the end of the day gets you absolutely nowhere. I spent months looking online for a new attorney that i thought i may feel a connection to, that would, not just listen, but actually hear what i was saying and truly understand my concern. Late one night i came upon Tessa's webpage and read through her profile. There were so may things in her page that reached out to me. I was taking a huge gamble by switching to a new attorney that was unfamiliar with my case, but i called and met with her anyway. She was not an average attorney in a huge office that charged me hundreds to tell her my story that she's probably heard several times. I was very comfortable and felt as if i was talking to a friend right away. I immediately hired her and i felt confident in her. There were periods of time i did not hear from her, but instead of being concerned i was more relived that it wasn't constant emails and phone calls, so that i could actually go about my busy life and not be 100% consumed in this process that seems to never end. I have been through a trial before and i was by no means unsatisfied by my previous attorney's argument and the outcome, but i can honestly say that when Tessa made my argument and presented my case, she did it with everything she had heard me tell her and delivered the message just as good as i could have. There is no one that can argue a case better than a parent, but i'm here to tell you that Tessa did exactly what i have been searching for. She is easy to be around, but also has an aggressive side to her that i have been searching so long for. I wasn't looking for someone that acted as if they wanted to be friends with the opposing party, i was looking for someone to see what the real reason we were there for was and to deliver that message to the judge and Tessa did just that. I cannot thank her enough for her hard work and as ridiculous as this sounds, she is the only attorney i have ever had that i DONT have an anxiety attack when i open my bill from her. She has been more than fair with me and she worked for every dollar she billed me for. She has a client for life and with the nature of the opposing party its exactly that. Thank you Tessa!

I had a very difficult case. Tessa fought for me but above that her concern was the safety and well being of my children. She not only advocated but absolutely gave it her all. She is honest, hard working and professional. I would recommend her and already have. Tessa Bennett is going to be a name th...at gets things done. Her firm Legacy Law has certainly lived up to its name. My children have a new legacy!
