Tessa Jeanean Bennett

Tessa is absolutely a ‘child avenger’ in every regard, she fights for what is ethical and right in the fiercest manner. The divorce process and litigation were very foreign to me and after interviewing several attorneys I felt so discouraged, disheartened, and quite honestly upset that I wasn’t being... heard in any regard - other than attorneys “talking at me” with the lingo that was not resonating with me at all. I called Tessa’s office in November of 2020 and Stephanie, Tessa’s amazing paralegal, was the first person to engage and actively listen to my concerns and the complexity of my situation. For the first time, I felt some relief and was immediately assured that I was on the right track with retaining an attorney. Stephanie acted with urgency and I spoke with Tessa for our initial consult soon after, the rest is history. Tessa became my biggest advocate through the most strenuous, excruciating, and soul-draining experiences of my life. Her character is fierce and driven, but she has deep empathy and can cultivate deep connections. She truly felt like a lifeline at times as I navigated a complex year and a half of a custody battle. As you can imagine with a high-conflict divorce, emotions and concerns were very often high but both Stephanie and Tessa, managed everything well, when issues arose through the case it was handled, and at the end of the day, I was always supported and protected. Tessa is ethical and doesn’t mind ‘shooting it straight’ to ensure you are truly making the right choices for the best outcome. If you want someone in your corner who will fight like hell for you, push you when it’s not easy to make the hard but right next step, and ultimately support you in reaching your end goal – then look no further. Tessa is a hell of an attorney and she will go the extra mile for you as well!

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.
