Testimonials
My experience with Attorney John Evans was great. He took over my case half-way through but when I first met him, I knew I was in good hands. He is well versed and attentive. He made sure all of my questions were answered and was upfront with me about what he was working on with my case while also remaining realistic. I couldn't be happier with the results of my case.
Excellent Attorneys! The legal team was very skillful and fought very hard to help my family. I’m very happy with the results!!
Attorney Tessie Edwards is a very passionate attorney who really goes hard for her clients. She is a force to be reckoned with in the courtroom. Also, shout out to her legal team of attorneys and paralegals who are always very pleasant and professional whenever I communicate with them.
I've been represented by Attorney Edwards and Attorney Beyah on family law cases over the past decade and I'm very pleased with the outcomes. Ms. Kendra and the rest of the staff are competent and user friendly. The professionalism and personal care this firm provides is five stars!
I have nothing but praises to sing for the law office of Tessie D. Edwards. Attorney Edwards worked on a case for me and she was very professional and always kept me in the know throughout my case. In the end, my case was dismissed and I got a fresh start at life. Attorney Beyah was my attorney for my second case and she was very professional, but also personable. She made sure I understood the process as the case was ongoing. I got the desired result from my case and I am so appreciative. In the future, if I have any legal needs or if a family member or friend is in need of legal counsel, I will be sure to recommend Tessie D Edwards & Associates.
Attorney did an outstanding job today; I am proud to have her represent me.
I highly recommend Attorney Beyah for handling all family matters. She is thorough, attentive to her clients' needs, and gets the job done. Before going to court, I was quite nervous, but she guided us through the process and explained what to expect from the judge. There were no surprises in court. If you're looking for excellent legal representation, I recommend Tessa Edwards Law Firm in Atlanta and suggest asking for Attorney Beyah.
First let me say, the staff at this firm is AMAZING! However, I had many frustrations with this firm in the beginning of my case due to the lack of communication from my first Attorney. My case was extremely difficult and long but when Attorney L. Beyah took over she handled it with such grace and professionalism and got things moving quickly.
*Let’s talk about an amazing lawyer, Attorney Lolita Beyah. She is a 5-star lawyer. Attorney Beyah is personable, relatable and knowledgeable as a professional. She’s also very humble, realistic and straight forward. She was honest from day 1 to the end. Not only did she help me grow on a professional level, but she also helped me on a personal level as well. Although I knew that we had a business relationship, I did not feel like it was always about business when we spoke. Attorney Beyah was honest to tell me when I was wrong and professionally corrected me. She’s truly a lawyer who cared about me and my family, creating a no judgment zone while keeping it professional. Words cannot express the change Attorney Beyah has made in my life.-Now, let’s talk about Kendra in the business office. She too was very understanding and patient with me as a client. Even when I may have been frustrated and let me be clear that I was frustrated every time I got the bill, a call, a text, and an email. She never responded to me with frustration. She continued to work with me as best as she could. She’s awesome if I must say so myself.
Attorney Beyah's diligence in her delivery with great attention to details is incomparable. She is very thorough and works patiently with client to ensure all necessary information that helps your case is in place. I had great connection with the firm from day one on speaking with Lee during my consultation unto my first conversation with Attorney Tessie D herself. Even though it's a big firm, and they cover high profile cases. I had ample access to attorney Beyah and could contact and speak to her or any of the paralegals easily. And they devoted time to my case and the office was steadily in contact and in touch. I was dealing with a narcissist, and they handled it head-on!If you are looking for an attorney where you would feel your voice been heard and you been seen. This is the place to go.
I 100% recommend Tessie D. Edwards and her team for all of your family law needs. Kendra was very helpful, professional, and always willing to help. This team is amazing.

I had a great experience with Kevin. My divorce was prolonged for a year due to the other parties lawyer going MIA every month. I explained everything to Kevin and he was able to close out it the case in 6 months. He explained everything to me perfectly and answered any questions I had and the next steps after the case was closed out
Lolita was amazing, always worked with me and did her best when it came to fighting for both of my kids custody.

My husband used this firm to represent him in an effort to obtain parental rights and custody for his daughter from a previous relationship. This matter was extremely important to us both in order to establish parenting time as soon as possible. It really felt like they were either over stretched in case loads, dragged their feet, and would overlook important details. Errors were made that set us back months. We are a faith based family who prayed long and hard for good counsel before deciding on them. Unfortunately it took us nearly a year to realize that we’d made a mistake. We eventually left this firm after acquiring over $27,000 in legal fee’s by the 60 day hearing of the custody case. We did not feel as though they stewarded the funds that we deposited into the billing trust responsibly and instead would find creative ways of billing at high rates. Things like having two attorneys log into the same uneventful virtual hearing so they could both bill, and without my husband’s consent. Or speaking to opposing counsel for nearly 2 hours for a cost of $950 just to discuss visitation details. It seems like an email would have been more appropriate. Billing for long calls of this nature were common and quickly exhausted the bulk of our funds. Huge administrative mistakes were made and we’d go weeks to months without updates. When my husband would reach out for updates he’d be billed for inquiring (email, call, etc).They will ask you to upload pertinent evidence into their online portal but you will quickly realize that it’s seldom read by anyone aside from the administrative staff. My husband would spend countless hours preparing evidence only to receive duplicate request for evidence that he’d already uploaded in the preceding months. This was frustrating, emotionally draining, and ultimately amounted to extremely expensive insufficient representation. God is still advocating for us and we are believing that this financial set back will not prevent us from uniting with our child. God is bigger than financial exploitation and we will overcome this. With that being said, I would not recommend this firm to anyone and wish that we’d moved on from them sooner.
TOP NOTCH! This law office took all the drama and difficulty out of my Child support modification case. I love how everyone I talked to about my case, was so kind and empathic to my situation. They left no stone and I mean NO STONE unturned and in getting to a fair agreement in my case. I highly recommend this firm!
Custody battles are never easy. There was a wide arrange of emotions felt when trying to ensure that I was in my son's life. My case was successful in getting 50/50 physical custody, legitimization, name change, joint legal decision making. We were successful after months of court delays and dealing with difficult/unreasonable opposing partyTessie was cool, calm, and collected the entire time. Her confidence transferred to me and she had my complete trust. I couldn't recommend more. Money well spent.
Thank you, sincerely to Mrs. Edwards and your entire team for your unwavering hand, and constant attention during such a trying time. I appreciate you and your team immediate responses, and attention to detail. Thank you for also educating me throughout this process on each and every step of my case and offering me the best possible solutions. I would recommend Mrs. Edwards and her team to each and everyone I know, including myself if I ever had a question of any possible legal representation. Ms. Kendra was beyond helpful in communicating everything that I should expect throughout my court case proceedings. Both Ms. Tasia and Mr. Rivers initiated contact daily making sure all documents were uploaded to my client portal and I was aware of any and all changes pertaining to my case. Lastly, I would also like to thank the rest of Mrs. Edwards team including Mr. Lee, one of her client specialists who was beyond amazing, and extremely compassionate to me. From the moment I stepped foot within her office I was assured that my case was of the biggest priority and would be handled in the best care and it most definitely was. Forever grateful!! Thank you for everything.
