After having a very unsuccessful and unpleasant experience with my first lawyer, Tamara took over my case and delivered as promised. I red her reviews, and she had a couple that were not so great, but I decided to meet for a consultation since she was referred by a friend. After our first meeting went well and I decided to sign a contract with here despite the reviews. At case closed and finalized I'd simply say ignore the trolls and give Tamara a call or at least schedule a consultation. You will be surprised of the results. No stress, no headache and most importantly she gets her job done fast. Thank you Tamara!! read more

I hired Tamara Benefield in 2024 for what I was told would be a simple, uncontested divorce, starting with a $10,000 retainer. When my home sold in 2025, another $30,000 was taken directly from the escrow proceeds at closing -- $40,000 total. I was not satisfied with the fees. When I asked about it, her response was: "Not sure why everyone was complaining. You got everything you wanted and saved money this way!" I didn't feel that way. It then took almost four months to actually receive an itemized invoice, well past what California law requires. I ended up filing for fee arbitration on my own, without a lawyer, against a licensed attorney -- not an easy position to be in. The arbitrator ultimately found the fees reasonable, so that's the final outcome, and I'm including it here for a complete picture. If you're considering hiring her, get everything about cost in writing up front, and ask for itemized invoices along the way, not just at the end. I also just realized that my settlement agreement with my ex-wife was for $20,000. Ms. Benefield got $40,000 from me and she said she saved me money. I don't know how much other people spend on average, but I feel like everything was a lose-lose situation for me. Should have consulted with a mediation lawyer All I know is that I do not want to get married and divorced again. read more

Do not hire this attorney. My experience with Tamara Benefield was not just disappointing -- it was professionally and ethically alarming. I paid her a flat fee of $25,000, plus $2,600 for consulting, to represent me through trial and post-trial judgment in a high-stakes family law case involving a critical life insurance issue. After trial, the court's Statement of Decision completely omitted that issue -- and for weeks, I begged her to file a proper objection. She refused, despite knowing the deadline and knowing my rights would be lost without action. Instead of fulfilling her duty, she repeatedly told me to "file it myself," even though I was legally prohibited from doing so while she remained my attorney of record. Her behavior placed me in a no-win situation and compromised my ability to protect my interests in court. She finally filed a Substitution of Attorney, but only after I had exhausted every effort to get her to act. What's worse -- the night before the post-trial brief was due, she sent me a draft filled with egregious errors that, if filed, would have amounted to perjury. I had personally paid for trial transcripts, which she clearly did not read or did not understand, and when I pointed out the factual errors, she became defensive and could not reformat my corrections into proper pleading paper. I have a recorded phone call where she tried, hours before the court deadline, to hurriedly correct these mistakes. This was despite the court having already given her extra time to do the job properly. The last-minute chaos caused unimaginable stress, and left me scrambling to protect myself as she backed away from her obligations. She continued to pressure me for more money, despite having been paid in full. This wasn't just bad service -- it was a breakdown of professional responsibility and a betrayal at a time when I was most vulnerable. Tamara Benefield has been disciplined by the State Bar of California, and (to my knowledge) does not carry malpractice insurance. That, combined with her conduct in my case, should be a red flag for anyone considering hiring her. I am now pursuing formal remedies. If your legal matter is important or time-sensitive, I urge you to protect yourself and look elsewhere. read more

Tamara is great! As knowledgeable as she is friendly. In other words, VERY! She responded quickly with answers to the questions I had. Call her if you need any legal assistance! read more

I watched her win in court today for her client. She did a great job. I was in court representing myself and was pleased to see a good outcome. read more

Tamara is absolutely astounding. I had a very complicated case, and the way she tackled it was exceptional. She worked closely with me, and it was clear how much she cared. She's a fierce advocate in the courtroom, and the depth of her knowledge is unmatched. I highly recommend her services." read more

Amazing attorney with a strong sense of moral character and a drive to see results. Candidnly going through anything family law related is scary and creates a lot of insecurity. Having a lawyer who helped me stay calm and fight for my child made all the difference. Thankful and would highly recommend this attorney read more

I am very surprised Tamara still has a license. She is absolutely a nightmare and if she is functioning, she must have great paralegals. She is not prepared and is very impressed with herself by "thinking on her feet" but it is not based on knowledge of her client, the case, or technical legal knowledge. Tamara isn't reliable. She doesn't keep a good calendar. She is overextended and abrasive. Stay away read more

First of all to everyone who feels like voicing their dumbfounded opinions about Tamara Benefield needs to be silent(or shut up). This amazing, wonderful and brilliant black women helped me get my children back. She worked so hard to deal with an (impatient man) me to be successful. Please understand how hard it is to be a women, especially a "black" women with a law degree. Thank you so much because I went through two other attorneys who couldn't get the job done! read more

And now you claim I wasn't even a client ... if I ever made a scene in a court room to the point that police/security was called I would have never forgotten... do the investigation you want ... your attempt to make it look like I am here for defamation is very much something u would do of course ... no surprise there. I have been an Yelp customer and I don't have fake reviews this is my real Name and my real Photo You on the other hand are accusing me of lying and no I don't have to provide you with shit ! If anyone wants to call me to investigate all The have to do is send me a private message. you are despicable you take peoples money when they r vulnerable, you create a big mess and u left your shitty fingerprint all over ... trust me there r plenty just like you and it's sad. and no I wouldn't recommend this office to anyone ever and this is what we do on Yelp read more

I can't even find the appropriate words for this woman, but attorney definitely not. I found her on google and thought she would be good for my son and his custody dispute! What a joke, we paid her to represent in trial and this attorney didn't even look at the court docket for the trial date! Always want money and never prepared! Beware and if you read this post, please take note, MOVE ON! read more

To get straight to the point, you better call Saul because Tamara is a joke of an attorney. It takes her months if not years and thousands of dollars to do a job that another reputable attorney will do in just a few months. She has none of her paperwork inorder and just bills you for hours that she has not even work for thousands of dollars. After firing her and hiring a new attorney it turns out that she was doing all type of things that were wrong. Honestly she should be disbarred for the type of things that she does. Prolonging a case so that you will have to pay her more money. At the end of the day you are hiring her to do a job and she is there trying to take all of your money. Avoid Avoid Avoid!!!! read more

Atty. Benefield is amazing. Words can not describe her level of professionalism and fairness. She understands the intricacies of family law and the delicate nature of it all. I felt well taken care of, heard, and supported. She is a natural in the court room. If you need an attorney to represent you and help you through what you are going through you want her on your corner. Divorce and family law is convoluted, but with the appropriate attorney everything is easier. read more

**Update** After this review posted last year, I was immediately contacted by Tamara (within hours) after not hearing from her for months. She accused me of defamation, and threatened to sue me for it. I didn't respond to any of her or her assistant Cherie's emails or threats. After months of requesting a statement, Cherie provided me with an invoice a few days after this review posted, showing all of the hours logged and billed. EVERY SINGLE HOUR LOGGED/BILLED WAS COMPLETELY AND LARGELY FALSE AND MADE UP. I could easily prove this by our email correspondence, text messages, and phone records within 5 minutes. This goes to show that they did absolutely ZERO work in making sure they were relaying or noting accurate information. Even knowing how I was lied to FLAT OUT, I still chalked it up as a loss and was just going to leave it at the reviews. Fast forward to the end of July 2018, I received an email from Tamara titled "MONEY BACK GUARANTEED" in which she agreed to pay me back a portion of my retainer in exchange for me deleting my reviews. Wanting to get it done and over with, I agreed, however I did not sign anything just yet. We were text messaging and the minute she was supposed to send me my refund, she immediately went ghost for weeks. She didn't answer or respond to a single email. When she finally did, she told me that she was having a contract drafted to get our agreement in writing before handing over my refund. And so I waited...and waited...and waited some more for this "agreement" that never came. After much frustration, I informed her that I would be filing an official complaint with the Bar and she took that as a threat and said she couldn't refund my money as a result lol. Fast forward to THIS WEEK (last correspondence was Aug/Sept, i believe)...she has now sent me another offer to refund some of my retainer in exchange for the deletion of my reviews. I counter offered for my full retainer (which is ONLY $500 more than her offer), because at this point, the headache of all of this is worth much more. She refused it and now here we are all over again! Since I've posted my review, a string of new reviews from multiple people with similar and almost EXACT experiences have come up and it honestly is frightening and downright sickening to see how many vulnerable people she has taken advantage of. Everyone can't be lying about the same exact thing. Do better Tamara. read more

Tamara Benefield has helped me tremendously! I was in a desperate situation prior to going to court, and she came to the rescue. Every court hearing she has attended and was a BEAST in court! She will fight for you and your family in the most professional manner. Thank you Tamara! read more

Attorney Benefield did a great job. We were done within 3 months of my retaining her. I would gladly recommend her to anyone trying to escape a scary situation. Very grateful for her services. read more

Tamara. Words cannot express how grateful I am for your service. When I researched you I looked at where you went to school and was blown away to learn you were at the top of your class. Amazing! You helped my sister out of a major bind and our whole family is grateful. Yelp want me to indicate what you did for me or they will remove this review again but I am not sure how to keep my information or the idea of my sister confidential and still give you this nice review that you deserve but all I can say it was a family law matter. Folks if you want a smart reasonably priced but think outside the box attorney. Look no further than Tamara Benefield. She definitely has your back she is thorough and sympathetic. read more

The things you need to know about attorney Benefield. She was placed on 1 year probation I believe in 2021 for submitting untimely fee accounting for several cases (www.calbar.ca.gov). The first call you have with this woman is the most important. She is going to say everything you need to hear. Especially if your in a vulernable position. The next step before you can ever speak to her again will be her retainer. She charges $850/ hr and the retainer starts at 15k (so you're 15k in before your 2nd call). Once you pay that you're gonna meet who she really is. After a week or two expect to receive another bill and notice to replenish the retainer (another 10-15k). She's rude, impatient, she lies and is the most unprofessional attorney I've ever encountered. We had disagreement and she insulted me multiple times. She text me and my wife and called me "an ingrate" and told my wife "I was spiralling out of control and was gonna ruin my own life." lol. Mind you at this point I had known her for less than 3 weeks. When I hired a new attorney to take the case from her she started to threaten me. Then she emailed my new attorney and attached screenshots and emails between myself and her. She told my new attorney that "I was a spiraling out of control and needed help". She completely violated our attorney client privilege between myself and her. I will be filing a formal complaint with the State Bar of California. The moral of this story is for $850/ hr they're literally thousands of decent attorneys for half the rate throughout the greater Los Angeles area. Good Luck!!!! read more

I had the pleasure of working with Tamara Benefield. Tamara is an extremely professional Attorney. She was present with me, a great listener, understanding, very compassionate and she met all of my needs and concerns outside and inside of the Courtrooms. Not to mention, she's a Lion in the Courtrooms! She went to battle for me! I am forever grateful with how she handled my situation. I would recommend the Law Offices of Tamara Benefield to any who is in need of a professional Attorney to fight boldly on their behalf. Joyce read more

If there was an option to put zero stars I would there is absolutely nothing positive i can say about this crook and that is exactly what she is .my nightmare started in 2013 when she was recommended to me by an associate of hers that i confided in about the struggle of seeing my daughter and the issues I'm having with the mother of my child ,after a brief interview, she convinced me to retain her for a ridiculous amount, at the time I was working a lot of over time so I didn't see it as a issue to come up with that amount and before I met her I always believed you get what you pay for , I even looked her up on yelp where back then she had a stellar rating and reviews where all positive I know now that most of those where for sure doctored, sorry for the tangent ,back you the story well after retaining her we worked on the case a lot of times it was me showing up and waiting hours for her to even enter the building and when she did it was for a few minutes and she would have her assistant do the rest , and I get billed , of course, when I look back on it I did most of everything she or her assistant ( Mostly assistant I'm sure )just filed the proper paperwork , she showed up late to every court date and made little to no effort representing me , at that point in my custody battle I was drained mentally and financially I was offered 30-70 and the opportunity to revisit the case , I was told I had hours left over on my retainer I decided to revisit to get a fairer deal after meeting her again repeating more of the same , I was convinced to supplement another retainer ,as a single father that just wanted fair judgement and the opportunity to spend quality time and raise my daughter. So I retained her and things were much worse, I would email her call and sometimes even have to show up there to add information to my case in which I think would be beneficial to my custody battle she was never available. after trying several times to get in contact with her i demanded a refund via text and email, that's when I finally received a call in which It got nasty I was degraded and told she was doing me a favor and that I cannot afford her ,and refused to give me a refund I had never felt so small in my life , Here I am on the phone a single parent struggling to see my child depressed and stressed and this lawyer from Beverly Hills adds salt to an already wound by explaining how superior she is to me and bullied me into continuing with the court date because the refund was out of the question and state bar isn't gonna do anything to her she even went as far and sending me their information. After meeting our court date which she was late to I was able to get 50 /50 custody of which I will not credit Tamara for, as she did noting but just show face ,days before our date me and fiancé stayed up long nights building a case to present to the judge tamara at one point didn't even want to pay for copies she pointed me to a FedEx copy place next door i had to walk to make copies of everything out of my own pocket after already dishing out a lot of cash already on a retainer . After our court date I was relieved not because me and my fiancé was able to get 50/50 well that too ,but that I didn't have to deal with that Beverly Hills bully again, DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED ! read more

DO NOT HIRE!Tamara negligent, manipulating, and feeds off of vulnerable women desperately seeking guidance. If you want a lawyer who neglects your case, pads your bill with fake charges, and ultimately DOES NOT SHOW UP TO COURT, then she is the lawyer for you. Also TAMARA HAS NO MALPRACTICE INSURANCE!!! Make sure you read that in the contract before you sign it. I wish I could give negative stars . But seeing as I have to put something I will leave 1. I hired Tamara Feb2018 for a child custody and restraining order case from a referral. She built a good rapport with me being as she was pregnant, I was a new mom, and I felt as if she understood what I needed and how to get there. I am all about empowering women, especially supporting black women , so I took a chance and scavenged up the money to hire her. I paid a 7500 retainer fee. As a discount she told me I would receive her usual 500 hr service at 250 an hr. She was pregnant , but assured me she had just made 6months and would be present and available the duration of my case as she wasn't going on maternity leave until after the baby was born. That was a lie! At our next meeting ( just a couple weeks later) she told me she would be outsourcing me to someone else because she was going on maternity leave. What! After you take my money you give this info?! She asked if I was ok with that and I told her no but what choice do i have. I had hired her, and was paying the fees to have her as my representation not someone else! She should have never took on my case knowing full well she would be going on maternity leave within the next few weeks! UNETHICAL! Our first scheduled court date in March 2018 was initially to appear before a judge. However, we were just going to file continuance. Tamara and her assistant both showed up unprepared, and inappropriately dressed. Tamara's Assistant wore jeans ,open toe flip flops ,and a hoodie. Neither one of them had any of my case documents, I had to provide them all of my original filings just MINUTES before possibly having to appear a judge. She reviewed my entire case there in the courtroom. I could tell she had no knowledge of ANY of my case info as all the questions she was asking was about the docs and not preparing me for anything opposing party could possibly say or ask if continuance was not granted . We filed continuance and left. Later I was charged 1075 for "file review and court prep" the day BEFORE our court date when all parties were already aware of continuance. Also how could she review anything when they needed all my documents IN COURTROOM to review the following day?! I was also charged 3750 for this continuance that was filed billed at a full court appearance. 500 an hr for Tamara and 250 and hour for her assistant! Not the 250 I was supposed to be discounted.FRAUDULENT and OUTRAGEOUS charges. Tamara went out on maternity leave immediately after this continuance and was completely unresponsive for months ! I spent weeks blindingly forwarding info she previously said I needed. Couple of days before our next scheduled court appearance of In June 2018 I finally got some direction and documents through her assistant . One document stated my attorney fees being far more than my retainer amount of 7500. I refused to sign and asked for my billing statement as they had never once sent me any updates on my retainer throughout the duration of employment . I received a bill totaling 13182.50 for her services. 13,182.50 and NOT ONE COURT APPEARANCE! I responded via email and phone calls addressing my questions and concerns about the bill and she never responded. She then told me the DAY BEFORE court I needed to forward a payment of 2500 or she would not go to court . That night her assistant dropped off case documents along with new evidence from opposing party that they had received weeks before but never told me about. She nor anyone she was supposedly supposed to outsource me to appeared in court the next day! Nervous and embrassed I had to go before a judge the next day and explain why my lawyer wasn't there. It's all ON THE RECORD, and I am waiting for this judge to sanction her. I eventually had to settle my case prematurely to alleviate the stresses of court and it's Financial burden mainly due to this huge mistake I made in hiring Tamara. If your thinking of using her JUST DO IT YOURSELF! In the end, Tamara never explained the charges only that she never received the email. Also, going over the bill with opposing party representation, I've been made aware she billed me for conversations she never even had with their attorney! I have already filed my complaint with the CA state bar and hope you all do the same! It's a lot easier now you can just file online! Don't believe these fake referalls on yelp (as you can see none of the good reviews have any specifics on their case, ask for RECEIPTS!)or her bogus counter claims against the reviews she can't get deleted off!! read more

Tamara is an excellent lawyer with a specaility in family law. She assisted me with a request and was very responsive. She went above and beyond to assist me with the manner and also was very personally supportive. read more

I wish there was a negative rating option, because my experience with Benefield was THE WORST! Paid her $25K, 9/1, she attended one hearing (said virtually nothing, leading me to believe she wasn't prepared for our case), she claimed she was at second hearing, although court Minute Order reflects No Appearance. And was a total no show at third hearing on 10/17. When I called her office right after the hearing, her assistant, Cherie, said the hearing wasn't even scheduled on their calendar. So she 'represented' us for about 6 weeks, made an appearance at ONE hearing, and charged us $9,020 without ever providing an invoice. I've filed a complaint with the CA Bar, waiting for result now. I also filed for Fee Arbitration with CA Bar and when date was set, she claimed she couldn't make it because she was in the hospital. I asked her to provide name of hospital, she didn't respond. read more

She was courteous and professional. An expert in divorce and family law. Family law is emotional and tough, but with Tamara it is so much easier. Her office staff returned my calls and emails promptly. read more

The difficulty of a Custody issues can be stressfull...but Ms. Benefield was the answer to all of my legal needs. If you want a PIT-BULL of a lawyer fighting for you, then you hire Ms. Benefield. She is extremely skillful, witty, and brilliant in the courtroom. She makes you feel very comfortable about your case and doesn't give off that sleazy, "Im in it for the money" feel that some lawyers will give you. She goes into every case like she has something to prove, and she proved it well to me. She's my Lawyer!!....and I would recommend her to anyone I know. SHE'S A GOOD BET!! read more

I endorse this lawyer. Tamara is a knowledgeable and compassionate attorney who zealously advocates for her client.!

Tamara was recommended to me and at first I was reluctant to hire her because of the negative reviews here. However, I trust my friend enough to ignore her. She helped me out and the experience was very professional and she got the job done. read more

Do not hire Tamara Benefield! She's on probation for money issues and I completely understand why after unfortunately hiring her to help with my domestic violence custody hearing. Originally I gave a 15k retainer and signed a contract stating a $500/hr rate. Several months later and after no real work from Tamara she thought we were in a place where I desperately needed her so she hit me with an amended hourly rate of $850/hr and a bill for almost another 8k. After confronting and telling her I will no longer be using her she forgave the almost 8k and accepted that I would be going forward without her. Based on the original contract and ballooned hours she billed for she technically still owes me close to 3k. I found an attorney through a domestic violence organization who fought for me and my son and who cared about our dangerous situation. If you happen to be in a domestic violence situation there's help out there for you! Do not hire this crook! She should not even be allowed to practice law. She is one of the most dishonest people I've ever met! And just to add to the pain she set me up with a professional monitor to monitor my sons visits with his abusive father who is just as dishonest and evil as she is! read more

Tamara Benefield 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 done what she said because I was helped tremendously for it all. So, want to thank Tamara and Cherie for all they have done for me over time!! From the bottom of my heart Jesus knows I am beyond happy and grateful to this law firm. It was all your expertise and wisdom Tam!!! Keep up the good work for the hurting people! Blessings to you and yours :) read more

Tamara has been helping me over the course of the last month or so with a restraining order case and has given me invaluable advice for moving forward with the inevitable custody/child support situation. From our very first conversation, she has been very prompt and thorough and never takes longer than 30 minutes or so to get back to me with my questions (and I have a lot of those!) She is always available for advice and guidance and emphasized that I can contact her at any time and she has held true to that promise. I feel that she's very mindful and compassionate to my situation and always greets me warmly and asks how my daughter and I are doing before we get down to business. She gives me a lot of confidence about my case due to her extensive knowledge and she has helped me to keep my head high in a stressful situation. I had been recommended several other attorneys and I am so happy that I went with Tamara and have since recommended her to several of my friends who are looking for trustworthy, compassionate, PROFESSIONAL legal help. She is on the pricier side but that is only because of her intellect and experience and her services are well worth the price tag. I hope my legal nightmare is over soon but will continue recommending Tamara to others in a position of needing family law expertise. My daughter and I would like to thank you so much Tamara!!! read more

I have been so impressed with the fact that now that we are standing at a level of positive progression in my case, I can honestly look back and attribute that to the fact that Tamara set up the foundation from the get-go for the utmost success for my tough case instantly upon taking it on. That is to say, it all points to how thorough Tamara is in her initial assessment of the case and provides top guidance absolutely necessary for your success. She takes time to listen to your concerns and carefully looks at all documents you provide her with and never lets go of those docs throughout the case. I feel that because of her wide experience and attention to detail and how she executes her job throughout the case, she gets the results you truly need. Therefore, working together with Tamara in my case, I have been truthfully, honestly and accurately guided by a knowledgeable and caring lawyer and that is hard to find and don't I know it with a true experience of let-downs by other attorneys and wasted money due to their lack of HEART for their cases bottomline! Another impressive fact is that I have witnessed how she listens to your goals for your case and your concerns about the opposing party by taking the time to conduct research into every aspect of the case to cover all her bases to get as deep as possible in the corner of success for her client. In the courtroom, I have witnessed how she maintains her work ethic at the highest level of professionalism and integrity in dealing with all court reps she will have to consult to work things out for her client aiming for the highest positive outcomes that is available for your situation. Moreover, Tamara is careful to analyze avoiding a wrong next move by carefully strategizing the net requirement to ensure the client will always be sitting in the best safe position available. She shares the laws that pertain to your case with you to educate you and empower you! I found Tamara on a list of top attorney's for family law in the state and, for me, that was the only kind of attorney I searched for online because of all the horrible issues I faced in my child custody circumstance. Know that she is unafraid to take on tough cases that appear to be a "shut case" on you; and Mrs. Benefield will represent clients who have cases in courts across the state. She is the attorney you been looking for that fights for her clients in every opportunity possible and whom you can honestly entrust with your legal matter. This kind of lawyer is truly hard to find. You will only want to recommend Tamara to friends and family after experiencing her at work for you. Don't hesitate to make that call. Sure glad I did on behalf of my children as well to give my children a voice that wasn't being heard before I met Tamara. I thank God and her for her talent that she is using to help families. Glad to say, my attorney is and International Award Winner ya'll. Enough said. read more

If you are in need of a family law attorney, look no further Tamara Benefield is the attorney for you. From my initial consultation with Ms. Benefield, she blew me away with her intellect and compassion, I knew with confidence she was the attorney for the job. The level of excellence provided by her office was professional and efficient, confirming my case was in good hands. Ms. Benefield was very patient as I had several questions regarding my case proceedings and she answered each one knowledgeably all while assuring me she had the tenacity to get the job done. Tamara Benefield was absolutely brilliant, she fought to protect my family's best interest, and although she was aggressive in court she did so with poise and class. Ms Benefield was a beacon of light in a stormy situation, I can't imagine the challenges I would've faced without her. I highly recommend her, she is AMAZING! read more

I hired Tamara in a simple child support case. My case was on year of 2010-2011. I paid her $5000 and she did nothing for me and I lost a simple child support case. On the first day of consultation she told me "I understand you and what you are going through, because I am separated and having issue with my ex-Husband" I felt that I can trust her, oh lord I WAS WRONG. She was late in the court; she came without any preparation. I lost a very simple child support case. My ex-husband with no attorney won the case. She told me I will appeal to the case. Oh Lord, I called her times and times. I sent her messages, I E-Mailed her. She never returned my calls neither messages. She never appealed to my case. It been 8 years passed, but I am still angry at her, not because we lost the case, but she lied to me that she will appeal the case again, she never returned any of my calls and messages That is why I am upset and angry. SHAME ON YOU TAMARA ...SHAME ON YOU 100 TIMES....There is karma always, if karma didn't hit you yet you will get hit by KARMA one day. read more

Tamara is a rock star. She knows her craft and is passionate and sensitive about all the challenging aspects of family law issues. I've had 3 other t lawyers over the past few years, and hands down she is the last I'll ever look for. She is aggressive, realistic, insightful, and I felt like she took the time to treat my case as if it were her own. While many lawyers have a "job," you can tell that Tamara is living her passion. I'm grateful and thankful to have had her by my side. read more

If only I can give Tamara Benefield 10 stars, I would give her 20 stars! Dealing with family law is a very stressful situation; financially, emotionally, and mentally. If you want a lawyer that will fight for you with all their might, Tamara Benefield is the attorney to look for! She's a tigress in the courtroom and does not stop until she gets what she wants! She is the best at what she practices! She's not like most lawyers that is all about money. She truly and genuinely cares about you. She listens to you, knows your pain, comforts you, and reassures you that she'll take care of everything (which she really does, all the time!). She treats you like you're a close friend/family not a client. Which is really difficult to find from an attorney. I've had 2 attorneys prior to her and they do NOT even come close to the knowledge, experience, and passion she has. I definitely recommend her to anyone. You will NOT go wrong by choosing her. read more
