The DeCosta Law Firm

I use the term Attorney very loosely. I had to terminate Ms. DeCosta for her lack of response, her inability to handle my case ( she filed my paperwork late, she got me mixed up with another client and she had my case continued without my knowledge) I have been asking for my invoice to date for at least a month now and she still has not given it to me. At this point I believe she is trying to steal my money. She has only argued a temp child support hearing and is threating not to communicate with me anymore and I have not yet received the order to sign, nor have a received a bill. I will be writing the Bar as this should be illegal the way she is treating me.

If I could give this person a zero, I would. When I say from beginning to end, this person did NOTHING for me except file one document, and after that she disappeared, ignored calls, and ran off with my money. She was supposed to serve the documents to the other party, but NEVER did. The courts ended up “closing the case administratively due to inactivity.” I have NEVER had to deal with such unprofessionalism from someone that’s supposed to be a “professional.” I literally hired her over 7 months ago, and I had to try to reach her via Phone call, her TDLF portal, etc. She refused to communicate effectively, so I was left high and dry and out of $1500. I even went up to her office to see if she was even a legitimate attorney, because I was getting Nothing from her. I asked the front desk admin if she really was an attorney. They said that she does rent an office space there. She then attempted to call Ms Decosta or Holmes (She goes by a few names), ans the receptionist stated the Ms. Decosta states that she was “in court” This whole experience, and the lack of work that she did not complete, has been the absolute worse! DO NOT HIRE HER! Do not. I now have to hire a new attorney because she did NOTHING for me, then she lied in an email, trying to save face! This whole process has been unprecedented, and I do plan on going to the NC Bar Association. This cannot continue to happen.

Do your research because I PAID for a SERVICE I did NOT receive. I requested a refund after what I paid a flat fee for was denied. This lawyer never notified anyone including the court that she was my attorney despite an initial payment of $1100.00. I signed a contract after that electronically and paid an additional $400.00 which left $275 and was notified my request was denied. She had done ABSOLUTELY nothing. Do your research because I have contacted the State Bar Association and my bank to speak with this attorney because my efforts are being ignored. I just wanted my money back.

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

Attorney Decosta is the best family law attorney in Charlotte. She won my case with a solid strategy, while making the opposing attorney look foolish by proving without a doubt that they were being dishonest and deceptive. She clearly and cogently showed the judge my Ex and her attorney had willfully not been forthcoming with evidence the entire time. Attorney Decosta works hard and diligently for her clients while remaining organized and collected. She is ethical and above all does what she says while keeping her clients fully updated. Words cannot express my gratitude for all that Attorney Decosta has done. You would be amiss if you didn't work with Attorney Decosta and her team especially if you want a peace of mind.
