Why a Compass?

"Navigating Clients through Family Law Matters" and "Let our Compass be Your Guide" are more than Tymus Beverly taglines. They define what we do and how we do it. So, why a compass? A compass provides orientation and direction, it will keep you on your desired path and point you in the right direction. Unlike a map, which can only take you where others have been, a compass can reveal the best course for you.  A map with your life's route planned out for you doesn't take into consideration the marriage that unexpectedly ends in divorce or the happy pregnancy that results in a custody battle or your hard-earned nest egg that must now be divided.  When the unexpected happens, let our compass be your guide.

Family Law and Divorce in Durham and Wake Counties

With more than 25 years' experience as an attorney, almost all of which dedicated to family law, our attorney and firm owner, Tamla Tymus Beverly, knows that you want and need thorough, compassionate and knowledgeable representation.  As a result, she has created a law firm with a modern, holistic family law approach. At Tymus Beverly, we navigate clients, primarily in Wake County and Durham County, going through family law matters such as divorce, child custody, child support, alimony and equitable distribution to help them find their way forward.  We call it the #TBExperience.

Our Singular Focus - Family Law

We focus on one thing, family law. Laws change, court rules evolve and the practice of law is shifting to a more modern approach. We owe it to our clients to stay abreast of those changes and we do that by concentrating on family law and family law alone.  

Award-Winning, Peer-Respected Representation 

Attorney Tamla Tymus Beverly, was recently selected for inclusion in the Family Law section of the 2021 edition of Business North Carolina's Legal Elite, a listing of the state's top lawyers as selected by attorneys who practice in North Carolina. Each year, Business North Carolina distributes ballots to every member of the N.C. State Bar living in North Carolina — asking each a simple question: Of the North Carolina lawyers whose work you have observed firsthand, whom would you rate among the best in these categories? This unique honor is the only award in North Carolina that gives every active lawyer in the state an opportunity to participate. This year, 982 lawyers were selected as Legal Elite, which represents fewer than 4% of the state's 28,000 active attorneys. It was indeed an honor for Tamla to be recognized by her peers and colleagues for this esteemed recognition!
