Astute, ethical, judicious and fierce!

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.

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!

Most ethical attorney!

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!

Lawyer with Heart

Tessa is a no nonsense kind of lawyer but has always been respectful and kind to everyone, even when they are not deserving of it. Tessa has worked diligently on my case for nearly two years now and has done everything in her power to help me protect my son. I would recommend Tessa to anyone!
