About

I am a pasionate and caring lawyer, with a primary goal on fostering long term relationships.  My desire to become a "different" attorney was fueld by my own divorce in 2006.  Many lawyers did not seem interested in me as a person; I was just one of many cases.  Here at the DeCosta Law Firm, "your family matters become our family matters.

She knows everything there is to know about divorce, child support and custody. Please do yourself a favor and HIRE HER! She is fair, goes after justice and doesn't hit below the belt like most other scummy attorneys in Charlotte. You will be proud (and not broke) you hired her!

Tiyesha has been an absolute life saver. She’s extremely knowledgeable, fearless, highly intelligent, logical, she-fights-for-you, she listens, she gives you real information and not just what you want to hear. I could go on and on. Before hiring her I was vert afraid of my controlling ex who had drug me through hell and back. He had hired a big money firm to bully me for a while. Other attorneys get nervous at this firm’s name but when I brought them up to Tiyesha assuming she would do the same, she just said “And?” It made zero difference to her and she was purely focused on facts, the law and how she could help me. She backs that confidence up too. After hiring her, in no time I began to actually understand how this system works, what moves to make and not to make, how and when to fight, when to let go, again I could go on and on. She does not waste your money! She thinks in terms of your current situation and way down the road. My only regret is not hiring her much sooner! I’ve experienced other attorneys who only care only or mostly about the money or who didn’t truly invest in what I had going on. Money is a very real piece of this but Tiyesha brings real leadership and peace of mind to the table. She swings hard and fearless like the big name firms and I have no doubt she’s going to go far. I had a seemingly impossible situation and by listening to her and letting her lead I’ve been able to drastically turn the tables. I don’t worry like I used to and I trust her. I have used her for issues with high conflict custody, child support and divorce matters. She also actually cares. Talking to her also often feels like talking to a friend but one of those friends who tells you the truth. She’s authentic and won’t sugar coat things for you. If you want to waste money having someone tell you what you want to hear you'll regret it. But if you want REAL leadership and to WIN, hire Tiyesha!

Ms. Decosta is an amazing attorney. She provides you with all information and advice pertaining to your case in a timely fashion, and keeps you informed every step of the way. I am very glad I had Attorney Decosta to represent me. She instilled in me the confidence I needed, and also made me very aware of things involving my case that I didn’t know. The prices are very reasonable and she goes the extra mile to have positive outcomes. I would definitely recommend using Attorney Decosta!

Mrs. Decosta is excellent at what she does. From start to finish I did not have any worries about my divorce proceedings. During my consultation she got a brief history of my marriage and concisely explained to me everything that I needed to know going forward including fees, possible outcomes, etc. Her communication was awesome. She kept me well informed on the status of my divorce along the way and this made me feel at ease. I would not hesitate to contact her if I ever needed her again. Thanks for being a true professional and expeditiously handling my case. Job well done.

Ms. DeCosta assisted me in my child custody case and really helped me out! We got exactly what we wanted and she was so wonderful when it came to calming me down when I was overthinking and gave me a lot of examples about similar situations so I knew just about every outcome that could come out of this. She was professional and empathetic and so helpful!!

I hired her to handle my child support case. I owed thousands in back pay and she was able to reduce it tremendously. Never had any problems contacting her and she did everything she said she would do. Would recommend her to anyone who needs help with family law.

I used Ms. Deosta to represent me for divorce proceedings. She rectified many of the missteps my previous attny. made, in addition to providing sound counsel overall. I have been so pleased with the results of her efforts, I had her represent me with other legal matters and referred her to others in need of an amazing advocate...

Miss Tiyesha DeCosta is a wonderful attorney to hire and works with compassion and professionalism. She went above and beyond to help me WIN my case and throughout the whole process checked in with me my family and made sure that we were OK and reassured us that everything would work out. I would recommend her to anyone who wants real results and who wants that compassion from an attorney. She takes her job very serious and she also takes your family matters very serious. She has literally saved my life and has made 2019 the best testimony so far in my life. My family loves her and adores her and we hope to stay connected with her in future endeavors.

Mrs Decosta, is very good at her job, she will do all it takes to get you exactly what you want. My name is to be places on the RIL list I filed a petition very late originally I should've file in 15 days it took over 21 days before I filed. Been a faith I saw Att Dicosta on Google and I just called her immediately. Her voice sounds on the phone like she aggressive. But I appreciated it atlast because it was from my own good: because of the late filed petition. DSS file a petition to dismiss my petition without trial. So we had to go for hearing as to weither to keep my my petition or to go for trial. Just the day of the hearing for the motion of dismissal of petition. Miss Dicosta beat both the hearing of motion of dismissal and the trial. The court drop all charges. And I was victorious without any trial. She make me so happy. And waive also all the balance fees that I owed her. I will recommend her to family and friends. Shes the best
