2:51 Speaker 01 Clients see her compassionate side where she and her team take the time to listen to gain a full understanding of the situation. Please welcome to Money Making Conversation Masterclass Attorney Tessa D. Edwards. How you doing, Attorney Edwards?
3:06 Speaker 03 I'm good, I'm good. Thank you for having me, Rashawn.
3:09 Speaker 01 First of all, being an attorney, was that something you dreamed of?
3:13 Speaker 03 It is. I actually knew I wanted to be an attorney since I was in third grade. I had a teacher ask me what I wanted to be, and being a person that likes to talk and debate and just liking to, I guess, challenge other people against an argument, I knew very, very early that I wanted to be an attorney.
3:32 Speaker 01 So, good, Attorney Edwards, now, argument and debating. Now, you just, were you just one of those people just, would have to get the last word in?
3:41 Speaker 03 Still, sometimes I want to get the last word in. Still want to get the last word in.
3:47 Speaker 01 Oh, here come Tessa. You know, she ain't gonna let nobody talk but her. Here you come, here you come. Now, now, when you see a talent like that, I will be upfront, I'll be upfront with everybody about my life, is that I didn't really know what I wanted to be, and for you to say you wanted to have that, you had that vision so early, what compelled you? Was it your surroundings? Was somebody, something you saw on TV that made you say, you know something, that's what I want to be?
4:14 Speaker 03 Well, kinda like what you're saying, I always had, you know, this idea that I like to argue. I love debating, I love strategizing about a debate. And if I could win an argument with anybody, a sibling, a parent, or anybody, it just kinda inspired me. I, I just liked arguing either side, it didn't matter. And so when I realized that I, that there was a career for people who liked the art of debate, that's what drove me to do that. So it wasn't necessarily my surrounding, it was more my personality. Some people learn to litigate, I feel like I was born to litigate. I like the challenge and the art of trial work and just strategizing debate.
4:52 Speaker 01 Wow, I like that. Now, when you look at, turn on the radio, personal injury commercials dominate the airwaves. And so that means that the legal profession, people have one version of it right now, being pounded into them, they sponsor evening news, they have commercials. It's all types of, uh, broadcasts that is making it available for personal injury, uh, talking about how much they can win for you, how much you can give, you come to us. If that version is not the version of law that you practice, why did you choose the version of law that you are practicing now?
5:31 Speaker 03 Well, as I talk to people and tell them all the time, I am a project ghetto born and raised. And what I saw around me was a lot of strange suffering, a lot of arrests, a lot of teen pregnancy, which I was a teen mom in a high school dropout myself. And just seeing that around me, I grew up with a very unhealthy idea of the justice system. I saw a lot of friends and family members and neighbors getting arrested. I didn't always believe that what happened was fair, didn't believe that the police were honest. And I wanted to go into criminal justice as a way to argue for my community, for my family members, and have someone fight for them,
6:14 Speaker 03 and have their voice heard if they ever found themselves in that situation. Because I didn't feel like that was something that I saw growing up.
6:23 Speaker 01 Now, it's interesting, because you said something very casual, probably because you've overcome it. You said teen pregnancy and high school dropout, and now you are a very prominent lawyer, family lawyer.
6:37 Speaker 01 That practiced criminal law as well, over two thousand cases. How did that happen, being a teen mom? And what age was it that you became a teen mom?
6:48 Speaker 03 Well, I was pregnant at fifteen. I had my first child as a sixteen year old and my second child at eighteen, third child at twenty-one. I am the proud mother of seven children today. And how I got from being a teen mom to where I am now, which is the proud owner of a multimillion dollar law firm in Atlanta, Georgia, was nothing other than dreaming it, seeing it, and then persistently going after it time and time and time again. I wish I could imagine to even begin to tell you how many hurdles and obstacles were there, but just seeing that vision and that dream so clearly and staying the course, whatever comes, just having the will to go over it.
7:32 Speaker 03 And when I had my first child, it was very uneventful. Unfortunately, everybody around me, all the girls around me were pregnant teens and a lot of the guys, including some of my family members, were in the system, in prison or in, on probation or some, some sort of custody. And when I had my daughter, my second child at eighteen.
7:54 Speaker 01 Let's go, let's deal with the sixteen year old, because that's, you know, that right there is usually what shuts you down opportunities. And when you read about it, you know, the, the, the dreams, you know, become aware for our, our kids, second, third, fourth, may go to drugs, may go to a, a minimum wage opportunities, there are no extended version of educations after that. At sixteen years of age, what did your family, how did your family react to that? And how did they come to your, to your assistance?
8:25 Speaker 03 Well, my family didn't, actually did not react surprised. Like I said, everybody around me, it was, it was the norm to be sixteen and have a baby. Like, there was a lot of teen pregnancy, unfortunately.
8:38 Speaker 01 And what state was this, what state was this, Tessa?
8:41 Speaker 03 In Florida.
8:42 Speaker 01 Okay.
8:42 Speaker 03 Florida.
8:43 Speaker 01 Mm-hmm.
8:44 Speaker 03 Cocoa, Florida, Okeechobee, Florida, there's a lot of teen moms. There's a lot of teenage boys and sometimes girls that are already in the system, whether it's juvenile or felony system, early, so it was the norm. It was not a shocker, I had family members that were teen moms. There wasn't anything that really shocked them and they rallied around. My mom. My mom, my siblings, they all helped with my son. And it was very uneventful in my life, but when I had my second child at eighteen, it was a girl. And that changed everything. She was six, eight, six to eight weeks old.
9:18 Speaker 01 Mm-hmm.
9:19 Speaker 03 And someone was visiting and they told me that she looked like me. You know how you have that moment that just kinda stops you in your track and you get a big frog in your throat and you can't swallow? When the first time that someone told me my daughter looked like me, it, it moved the rest of my life.
9:36 Speaker 01 Mm-hmm.
9:37 Speaker 03 I felt like if she looked like me, she may want to be like me. And so I felt like I needed to be something that she was proud of. And so when she went to school on career day and talk about her mom,
9:48 Speaker 01 Mm-hmm.
9:49 Speaker 03 she would have a story that she could be proud of. My mom does this. My, I didn't want to say my mom is, you know, work at McDonald's, no knock at McDonald's employees or anything, but that's not what I wanted for my daughter to aspire to be if she was aspiring to be like her mom. And so that changed everything going forward. And this dream that I had as a little girl now became
10:11 Speaker 01 A reality.
10:11 Speaker 03 a goal, more than just a dream. At that point, it was a goal.
10:14 Speaker 01 So were you a high school dropout at that point, Tessa?
10:18 Speaker 03 That pregnancy, I did drop out with that pregnancy. I dropped out with that pregnancy because I missed a lot of school and they told me I had to come back and go to summer school and me being the defiant person, I decided I was done with school that year, it was my senior year. I wasn't coming back, I was going to college in the fall, so that's what I did. I went and got a GED and went to community college and I got an AA. So I had decided that was my senior year and that's, so that's what it was.
10:44 Speaker 01 So, once you got focused, it was, you were relentless.
10:50 Speaker 03 Yes, that is a good word.
10:52 Speaker 01 I see, I hear your voice. But you know, because the story, you know, people are listening to this story and thank you for sharing your story on Money Making Conversation Masterclass because it's about motivation, it's about overcoming the odds. I'm talking to attorney Tessa D. Edwards. Um, started at eighteen, pregnancy, sixteen, fifteen going on sixteen. Now she runs a multimillion dollar law practice, family law practice in Atlanta, Georgia. And how proud are you when you say that to yourself? That you run a multimillion dollar law practice in Atlanta, Georgia? Knowing where you've come from, Tessa?
11:32 Speaker 03 You know, honestly, sometimes I still am in shock and in awe of how far I came. When I look back at that little girl as an eight-year-old, nine-year-old, ten-year-old, hell, even looking back as a sixteen-year-old, eighteen-year-old, because it was such a long road, so many curves, so many valleys. It, it still amazes me, and when I say multimillion, I mean, we have barely even scratched the surface of where, where we're going to do. The growth we hit in 2024, our goal is to double that this year. So, the aggression will never stop. If I want it, I am absolutely gonna give it everything in my power to go get it.
12:12 Speaker 01 Now, would you, so how do, how do, how, now, let's talk about the journey, because you mentioned a lot of kids here, and I'm sure there's a, there's a strong man in your life who allows you to be able to be yourself, also your husband. Now, you had, did you, was there any other experiences after college? Did you do the military? Did you do, go to a four-year institution? How did, what were the next steps after your second child and you got your GED?
12:38 Speaker 03 Well, after I got my GED, I didn't know how I was gonna pay for college. And so, I decided to enlist in the military. And because I was a high school dropout, they required me to have a two-year degree to join. And so, I got my two-year degree, and I went in, and me being the fertile myrtle that I am, I got pregnant when I came home for the Christmas break. I went in, like, in November, and everybody got to go home for two weeks. Being on birth control, to make a long story short, I still got pregnant. I was released from the military, and on my way home, I had a miscarriage. I had a miscarriage that I would have never even known. But Rashad, the crazy thing is, I would have never, ever known that I was even pregnant.
13:22 Speaker 03 If I hadn't made friends with my drill sergeant and I was trying to get out of doing a drill.
13:27 Speaker 01 Right.
13:27 Speaker 03 He allowed me to go to the clinic and they did a routine test and told me that I was pregnant. The interesting thing about that, though, when I went to the military, my drill sergeant and, you know, the first day or two, people had pointed me out and came to me and were commenting on my score and I honestly don't even remember what it was. But they were coming to me, talking about my test score, how high it was. Why are you here? You're incredibly smart. You should be doing something else. This isn't for you. And I'm thinking to myself, well, I need to pay for college, so it might not be for me, but this is where we are.
13:59 Speaker 01 Right.
14:00 Speaker 03 And so, when I got out, okay, well, my plan B is to figure out another way to pay for college, because that's the only reason why I was there. So I got out and finished, um, you know, finished up what I was doing and transitioned into,
14:20 Speaker 01 Uh. Law.
14:21 Speaker 03 Indiana University.
14:23 Speaker 01 And then you pursue your law degree.
14:24 Speaker 03 Finished my bachelors. That's when I had to finish my bachelors. When I got out, I finished my bachelors and then law school, all in Indianapolis.
14:31 Speaker 01 Wow, so we went from Florida and Indianapolis, military, stop in between. You got two kids at this point, unfortunately. Uh, my prayers have went out to you on that when you lost your third child. So, so I'm assuming, because you said it in a humorous way, Miss Fertile. Uh, so you have two kids. Did you have two kids when you went through law school? Or did you have another kid while you were at law school? I gotta ask that question honestly, the way you're dropping these kids here.
14:59 Speaker 03 Well, I was a son. I was dropping on like it was hot potatoes. When I graduated undergrad, when I graduated, when I graduated undergrad, I had five children. I grad, when I graduated undergrad, I had five kids. My ex-husband and I went to law school together and I say this to everybody laughing and jokingly, but I don't even know that a lot of people knew our name. You were just a couple with the five kids because we started law school together.
15:23 Speaker 01 Right.
15:23 Speaker 03 And we had, we had five kids. And we started law school and everybody was like, oh, you should wait until your baby who was, you know, very young, like one, you should wait till she go to kindergarten. And I say all the time, what am I waiting for? The same four years are gonna go by whether she's in kindergarten or not, so what are we waiting for? Let's go, let's go. And we started and she graduated kindergarten and when I graduated law school. There's nothing to wait for, let's go.
15:50 Speaker 01 You are something else. Can I say that I have never spoken to somebody as determined as you? Five kids, you know, hadn't even got your law degree yet. Sixteen years old, you had a child. Eighteen years old, you have a child. You went to the military, unfortunately lost a child. Then now you're at Indian Avenue's first, everybody's telling you how fantastic, how smart you are. And that's the interesting thing about living in these communities that don't really push our children. Cause they don't understand, we're just trying to survive. Yeah, I grew up in that type of community. Uh, you know, Fifth Ward, uh, my father was a, a truck driver. My mom, she went to college, she went to high school, didn't go to college. Six sisters, two brothers.
16:33 Speaker 01 We live, you know, in two bedroom shotgun house. And so I know that they wanted me to be successful, they wanted me to be good. But guess what? When I graduated from high school, I became a forklift driver. That's what I became, a forklift driver. So the same people that saw you in the military, Tessa went, you should, you, you don't need to be here. You can be better than this, you can be better than this. What were you saying to yourself when they were telling you those things?
17:02 Speaker 03 I didn't, I didn't really believe that I was smart. All I knew was me. And so I felt like I was smart, but it didn't feel like anything exceptional. Like I didn't, I wasn't my own cheerleader then. It was just, okay, whatever. I need to do this in order to get to there. So I wasn't, I was never wrapped up in anybody else's praises of me. I didn't take compliments well. So you were telling me that I'm smart means nothing. My smartness haven't shown me how to pay for college and this is how I know how to do that. So I honestly discounted it, like whatever. I didn't pay it a whole lot of attention.

21:11 Speaker 01 She owns a family-owned law firm that has been serving the Atlanta, Georgia, community for over 15 years. Their attorneys provide enthusiastic representation and brings along extensive experience in representing their clients. Tessa, when I say overcoming the odds, am I being... am I understating what has happened in your life? Or am I hitting the nail on the head?
21:37 Speaker 03 You are hitting the nail on the head. Absolutely.
21:41 Speaker 01 Do you do public speaking? Come on, Tessa, you gotta be telling your story. You gotta be, you are an absolute motivator and you so casual about it. You, I'm gonna tell you something, what, you know, this story, I, I don't know who's driving around the car, sitting at home, probably eating while they're listening to this interview, but what you're talking about is pretty, pretty impressive for a sixteen-year-old teen mom, eighteen-year-old teen mom, wandering out there, having five kids and undergraduate before you even finished law school, and now you're still focused enough, focused enough, and your children are still in your life,
22:22 Speaker 01 and, but you're so casual about it. Am I wrong in saying that sounds kinda like you're a different, you, you come from a different cloth?
22:32 Speaker 03 Well, you know, I say all the time, and I'm, and I mean it sincerely, I feel like my life, it, it sounds almost frou-frou when I say it, but when I feel like my life was so divinely chosen.
22:45 Speaker 01 Uh huh.
22:46 Speaker 03 That the path for me was chosen from somebody higher than me, and I was just given a dream and the courage to go after the dream, and blessed enough to have people around me that believe and support my dream and my vision. And so I, I do think that it is insane when you say it out loud, but you know, I don't usually say it out loud.
23:07 Speaker 01 I'm gonna say it out loud. I'm gonna say it out loud. Attorney Tessa D. Edwards is
23:15 Speaker 01 a blessing. Attorney Tessa D. Evans Edwards, excuse me, is a poster child for overcoming the odds. You are a person that needs to tell your story over and over again, 'cause you know why? Because I get tired of people, being that I come from the inner city, they will, they, they stereotype us. They, they, they tell us that we can't achieve or we don't achieve. They don't give credit from the community, from people around us, the people who believe in us. And so that is why, if I do anything in 2025, and this is not going to be the last time I interview you, and, because your story and your personality in
24:00 Speaker 01 general needs to be amplified. Can I do that?
24:05 Speaker 03 You can. I would be honored. I would be honored.
24:09 Speaker 01 No, I'm honored. And the reason I say it is that so many of our people of color, African Americans, you know, we're in an administration right now that, you know, diversity echoing inclusion and they act like they giving us opportunities like they, like we haven't earned opportunities. You are a poster child for earned, earned, big E. You're the big E. You've earned everything you've achieved in life. And this new administration will make us believe that you didn't earn it. You didn't achieve it. And so when you look at giving people advice, what advice do you give them, Attorney Edwards?
24:50 Speaker 03 The biggest advice that I can give anybody is to make it, make it clear what it is you're going after so that you don't waste time doing things that's not going to help you get to that goal. Just be clear about what it is you want. Be driven, be focused, be hungry and wake up and go to sleep with your eye on that goal. Even as you go down that path to get to that goal, you have to have people around you that support you. I can tell you my husband, Charles, who, who probably is one of the biggest cheerleaders I have. That daughter that you're talking about is one of my four daughters, has three sons. Biggest cheerleaders, very supportive, always ready to go in. My brother, um, I have a younger brother, I have several younger brothers, have five brothers and five sisters,
25:35 Speaker 03 but one of my brothers is-
25:36 Speaker 01 Oh, you beat me, huh? You said five brothers and five sisters? I have six sisters and two brothers.
25:43 Speaker 03 Well, I, I have a big family.
25:47 Speaker 03 But that one brother that's two years younger than me, my day one, like we grew up the hard way. Right beside me hustling, eating out the garbage can. When we were younger, we would come up with, I would come up with a plan and he was the executor. And that was our role. And to this day, if I say, hey, I'm gonna do this, he's always, what do I need to do to help? How can I help? The same thing with my husband. So my husband runs the firm with me. He's there, a hundred percent bought in. He'll tell anybody, we gonna bet on us all day. Most things we set our mind to have never failed. Anything that we've ever tried to do, we've always succeeded when we are doing it. Two like minds together. Thinking it and doing it, my team and my firm is incredible. And one of them is the reason I'm talking to you today.
26:32 Speaker 03 So I have a lot of people around me and just surround yourself with people that believe in you. And even when you have those tough days, because it's not if, it's when. You need people around you that believe in you when you're tired and you don't necessarily have the belief in yourself in that day. Surround yourself with people who, who are aligned with your vision.
26:53 Speaker 01 Attorney Edwards, my wife just texted me, have I been saying your name wrong?
26:58 Speaker 03 You have, but it's okay.
27:00 Speaker 01 No, no, no, no, no. She texted me for Sean. You're saying her name wrong. Please tell everybody the correcty nonsense, you know, your first name.
27:09 Speaker 03 Tessie.
27:10 Speaker 01 Tessie, Attorney Tessie D. Edwards.
27:14 Speaker 03 Yes.
27:16 Speaker 01 I will never make that mistake again. Can we tell everybody how we can reach out to your law firm that's been in practice for 15 years in the state of Atlanta, Georgia?
27:26 Speaker 03 Well, they can follow us on any of the social media platforms. They can call us at four zero four three three zero eight eight three three. My website is my name, Tessie D. Edwards. So any one of those things, you can Google Tessie Edwards. You can probably even spell it the wrong way and you still find it.
