I can firmly attest that she and her team are equally adept at family law and civil matters. So thankful to have the Tessmer team in my corner.
While results can't be guaranteed, ours were phenomenal. What was truly astounding was how Ms. Tessmer predicted every step of the process.
Best in the city. Do not waste your time or money. Come here if you need a team that truly cares and is tough as nails.
