The absolute best family law attorney there is!

My divorce has been the most difficult and stressful time in my life. Tamara Benefield is absolutely amazing. She is simply gifted and brilliant in the field of family law. At times when I was completely upset or anxious her kind heart, understanding and gentle demeanor kept me going. Make no mista...ke, she will not hesitate to fight for you!! I was absolutely fascinated watching and listening to her represent me in court. She navigates through the court room with grace, knowledge and complete confidence. I have referred many people to her and I highly recommend her!

Feels Great To Be Free

Ms. Benefield was referred to me by a friend of a friend. At first I was very hesitant but from the moment I met her, I knew she was the one for me. She is not only a great lawyer that knows her stuff but she takes the time to get to know you on a personal level too. She was there to represent me ...on every court appearance which resulted in a successful divorce. Tamara is very knowledgeable, handles herself well in the courtroom and what was really impressive is that she comes prepared with a laptop and printer so you can do paperwork real time which saves time (and money). Her warmth and charisma to get it done is an added bonus. I definitely recommend Ms. Benefield.

Hands down, the best lawyer I've ever had!

Ms. Benefield worked very hard on my very sensitive and difficult case. She was very reasonable, honest, supportive, respectable, kept me informed and focused all the way to victory.

Great Courtroom Lawyer

I had a hearing in court and I hired Tamara Benefield to help represent me in this matter on a limited scope basis. Amazing lawyer. For not being familiar with my case, I was really surprised at how up to speed she got and how well read she was in regards to family law. In our initial meeting, she w...as able to understand the complexities of my case and we went into court the next day with a successful game plan (which she executed, flawlessly). Not a big fan of lawyers or court. Glad to have had a great experience with this attorney. I recommend Tamara Benefield to anyone who wants straight talk and excellent courtroom representation.

Consultation

As a person who knows a few things about "free consultations" (I work in marketing), I went into my meeting with Ms. Benefield only looking to get as much free information as possible before I went to file my documents myself. I met her in her office in Beverly Hills (great office btw) and when we go...t set up in the conference room, I waited for her to start selling herself to me, all with the intentions of just letting her speak and then asking my questions and leaving. Instead of talking herself up, she let me talk first. She let me pour out my heart for over 20 minutes and answered every question I had without hesitation and with a sense of compassion I am not used to getting from professionals especially from those who i suspect are only after my money. At the end of our time, I had to retain her because I knew she would be able to go into court on my behalf and help me. Sure enough, during my hearing I heard her speak with the same amount of passion and conviction that she had spoken with the very first time we met. I admire that about her and I wish more lawyers were like that. I went from looking to get free advice to looking to get her more paying clients (myself included) because I really liked the way this lady made me feel as a client. I was not just a paycheck or a case number. Mrs. Benefield made me feel like more than just a client. She made me feel like a friend. I am very happy that i got the chance to hire her (cause we won).
