Tessa Jeanean Bennett

I retained Tessa to represent me in a high conflict divorce. I cannot express enough how important it was to me to have an ethical attorney represent me and not just a fierce one. Throughout the proceedings of my case, over 2 years, I had the opportunity to repeatedly witness Tessa's passion, fidelit...y, compassion and ethics. And YES...Tessa is fierce...a classy fierce and . On multiple occasions, opposing counsel would get aggressive and yell when Tessa made an objection. Tessa was unruffled and proceeded with class and professionalism. I also had the privilege to experience the compassion, dedication and professionalism of Stephanie Porter, Tessa's paralegal. I HIGHLY recommend Tessa with Legacy Law Group. I would like to note that my review is being made before a decision has been made on my case.

I hired Tessa Bennett in January and just terminated our client/attorney relationship. I paid the retainer fee and was charged $250 for the consultation. In all this time nothing was ever done for my case. When I called 1 month later after hiring her I was charged $140.00 for a 4 minute phone call in... which I was told Ms Bennett was starting my paperwork that day. A month and a half later I still hadn’t heard or received anything from her. As of 2 days ago I hired a new attorney and let Ms Bennett go. The only good thing Ms Bennett did for me was refunding my full retainer fee. I would never recommend her because I feel she did not take my case seriously and did not want to help me.

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 have had Tessa as my attorney for nearly 2 years. Prior to hiring her, I consulted every attorney possible. I was relieved upon meeting her as I could tell the difference between her trying to convince me to hire her (like the other attorneys) and her genuinely caring about my situation. She char...ges for the actual work she puts in to your case and never makes you feel incompetent along the way. She pours her full energy into her clients to ensure you can all leave a lasting legacy for all parties involved. Tessa makes sure you feel confident and prepared for every situation and treats her clients as if they are part of her own family. You will never be left in the dark in your case and will not regret retaining her in your case. Best decision I could have ever made for my family!
