She is professional, a masterful negotiator, thorough, responsive, & fair financially.

Attorney Tamara Benefield strategizes and conducts the case like playing chess, advising me what to do and what not to do step by step. No other lawyer will handle your case like her. Attorney Tamara Benefield was with me every step of the way. She thinks fast and is very adept at contention and ext...remely well versed and competent at prosecution. Her style is firm and terse and her arguments are all convincing, logical, corroborated, and solid. She used timing to her advantage, and suss out judges to increase your odds. She helped put my case in the right context and won my case for me. With just her opening and closing statement, she slashed my opponent like a samurai sword, I almost felt sorry for my opponent. My opponent "sliced", already lost her case, she just didn't know it. Bonus, was that Tamara Benefield is compassionate, and immediately from first meeting I felt she was already on my side not just as my lawyer but as a woman who understands and was empathetic to my situation. I interviewed other lawyers, but I felt like just a number to them. Tamara Benefield is like a ninja in heels and lipstick. I am so grateful for her help and now I can continue my life again thanks to her. She really does balance out the bad with the good and brings justice to the world. I went from feeling defeated to feeling empowered thanks to her. Hire her. You will not regret it.

Dedicated, empathetic and amazing

If I could give more stars, I would. Tamara literally saved my life from a dangerous predator. She knew exactly how to guide me through the process and made sure I understood everything before proceeding on to the next issue, and was always very straightforward and honest. Mine was a very long and... drawn-out process due to the level of psychosis of the other party involved, and Tamara definitely went above and beyond to keep me safe and ensure that my property remained in my possession. She worked when she was sick, pulled all-nighters and hustled over the holidays to ensure my safety. She made sure I received the maximum amount of protection from the courts, and even helped me regain some of the legal fees. She truly cares for her clients and it shows. I know she had lots of other cases besides mine but she always made me feel as though she was always there for me, and always responded immediately in an emergency, no matter the hour. She is truly what a great attorney is SUPPOSED to be. I always felt confident with her support, and believe me when I say that you will do well to trust her. Addendum 07/18/2021: Well unfortunately I was in the position where I had to hire an attorney again because of the same vexatious litigant, but I am so grateful to have Tamara on my side! She once again came through for me when I needed her the most, put my fears to rest, and took care of business. You will not find a more hard-working and empathetic professional in this field. Guaranteed.

Perfect Guidance

Tamara knew exactly how to guide me from the first day we met. And even though court matters can take a while to settle, her advice was right on target and even though she was ill, the sub attorney was able to pick up where Tamara left off and like I said thank God I had listened to what she said to ...do I was helped tremendously for it all ! So, I want to thank Tamara & Cherie for all they have done for me over time!! From the bottom of my heart God knows I am beyond happy and grateful to this law firm. It was all your expertise, wisdom & foresight Tam!! You proved to be a 300 mile gem in my journey. Keep helping the hurting people in the world! Blessings to you and yours :)

Excellent Lawyer who is fast and accurate.

I am very happy to have had the good fortune of finding Mrs Benefield! I was faced with a difficult family law case as the other side was antagonistic. My previous lawyer was unable to circumvent “bad faith” negotiations and I was left with a legal entanglement that was based on lies that had no...t been opposed properly by my other counsel. My previous partner was angry and using a legal battle spending over 100k to prevent me from seeing my son. I was opposing false allegations and gross misstatements of the truth. I needed a lawyer that could pick up a mishandled case as well as deal with an opposing counsel that is litigious and will antagonize for their client as to extend the bill as long as possible. Ms Benefield took my case just a week before trial. I was very impressed with her ability to process the case as well as simplify the pieces that had deliberately been opacified by opposing counsel. I watched her site case law and precedent to beat back the ill intentions of the opposing counsel. She was savvy with influencing the other side to settle. She was able to conceptualize and oppose arguments very well. She was committed to a solution for the case putting an end to a “billing battle” by the previous attorneys. She was clear with her understanding of law as well as the explanations of all proceedings. I had the experience of family attorneys explaining things but lacking clarity. Sometimes when people don't have a good grasp on a topic they will claim that it’s tough to understand. Contrastingly Ms Benefield had an excellent knowledge base and explained everything with ease. I was thoroughly impressed with her and I would recommend her without reservation to my colleagues and friends. She is expensive but she provides a great service.
