Mayer Family Law
Strategic. Compassionate. Unflinchingly effective.
Tessa brings an unwavering commitment to her clients — especially survivors of domestic violence. Fiercely protective and deeply experienced in DVRO cases, she knows how to fight for safety and stability while navigating the legal terrain with calm, confident command.
Tessa is proud to be a Certified Family Law Specialist, a designation earned through a rigorous process that includes passing a second bar exam focused solely on family law, demonstrating significant depth and breadth of experience, completing extensive and ongoing legal education, and being positively evaluated by judges and fellow attorneys familiar with her work. In short? It means you’re hiring a lawyer who has gone the extra mile — and then some — to master this field.
She earned her B.A. from California State University, Sacramento, where she repeatedly appeared on the Dean’s Honor Roll, and went on to graduate from McGeorge School of Law at the University of the Pacific, where she received Top Honors in Trial Advocacy. Since 2011, Tessa has handled all aspects of family law across Sacramento, Placer, El Dorado, Shasta, and Tehama Counties, and continues to serve clients throughout El Dorado and Sacramento Counties with precision, compassion, and a drive for results.
At Mayer Family Law, we don’t just practice family law — we own it. Founded by Tessa Mayer Roberts, a Certified Family Law Specialist (since 2015) with 14 years of experience, our firm is built for the hard cases, the high stakes, and the heated inboxes.
From our El Dorado Hills office at 991 Governor Drive, Suite 101, we provide smart, strategic representation in every corner of family law:
-
Divorce and legal separation
-
Custody and visitation
-
Paternity actions
-
Spousal and child support
-
Post-judgment enforcement and property division
-
Pre- and post-nuptial agreement drafting and review
At her side is her husband Mike Roberts, who runs the heart of the business — client care, intake coordination, and day-to-day operations. With empathy, clarity, and professionalism, Mike ensures that clients feel heard, supported, and prioritized from the first call to final resolution.
Whether you're deep in a discovery battle or wondering if your ex can really subpoena your Venmo, Mayer Family Law delivers precise, thoughtful advocacy — with a sharp eye for detail and zero tolerance for legal nonsense. Every declaration is airtight. Every timeline has receipts. Every opposing counsel gets a prompt (and polite) reminder when they miss a deadline — again.
When not practicing law......
When not working in the legal field, Tessa enjoys spending time with her husband and chasing after her blended family of 5 children under age 13.
Tessa now divides her time between the office and her family, bringing the same thoughtful balance and dedication to both.
