5.0 out of 5 stars

Tessa was amazing throughout the whole process, from the very beginning, to the hearing. She is a great listener and someone who can help/make you feel comfortable whatever the situation you are in. Tessa covered every base and went over any angle that may have been tried. She even wrote a ending statement that made myself shed a few tears with how well she portrayed my thoughts and feelings. 10/10
