Above and beyond

I hired Tamara Benefield, Esq. during a difficult, year-long custody battle to preserve my parental rights. With a complicated legal past and a strained relationship with my child, I needed more than just legal representation—I needed someone who would truly fight for me. Tamara delivered on every le...vel. She was strategic, fiercely committed, and deeply knowledgeable about family law. Her courtroom presence was commanding, and she knew exactly how to position my case to show the court that I deserved a second chance. Thanks to her unwavering advocacy, I was able to secure custody and begin rebuilding a meaningful relationship with my child. If you're facing a serious custody issue, I can’t recommend Tamara enough. Her dedication and skill made all the difference in my life, and I’m forever grateful for the future she helped me reclaim.

Performance

Tamara Yelp review Despite the unfortunate situation that my family & I needed a lawyer . Hiring Tamara Benifield was the best decision we made in representing us . She was informative, compassionate, and very understanding. She had a willingness to listen .When it came down to her performance in... the court room she had extensive knowledge of the law . And spoke with major conviction . She is more the qualified to handle any situation with ease . She knows how to work a court room with her grace and unfounded professionalism. Ms benifield knows the law and uses necessary terminology and codes with untouchable class. To the point where she completely intimated the opposing defense and put them to shame. By her authoritative nature and firm , stern voice . She is very distinguished. If I could give 10 stars she is more then deserving of them . Thanks you again . You are a wonderful example of excellence. You are appreciated. The Green Family

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.

Awesome!!

Tamara is a fantastic attorney. She has been so supportive and protective of my case and helped me get sole legal and physical custody of my children. I have used her firm for several years and her and her team have been there for me giving me the keys to winning my case! She's amazing and I definite...ly recommend her. She is super successful and that's why a lot of haters out there post fake reviews. She's the real deal and my family and I are under her wings during our crisis.
