Beal Law Firm Reviews and Testimonials from Former Clients and Contacts

As someone who generally does not write reviews or provide public feedback, I feel compelled to share a few thoughts about Eric Beal and the team at the Beal Law Firm. Eric has handled several matters for me, ranging from a divorce to creation of personal financial documents. More importantly, Eric has unfailingly provided me with pragmatic, sensible advice and guidance, even if it was not what I wanted to hear. There are many knowledgeable and qualified attorneys in this market, but Eric truly differentiates himself from others by matching his superior knowledge and experience (25 years) with a perspective and patience that I found to be invaluable, both legally and personally. The exact same qualifications apply to others in his firm with whom I have worked, notably Constance Mims. Lastly, I will mention that I recently approached Eric with some legal work that he could have easily handled for me. Instead of taking on my business, he very candidly told me that he knew of another attorney who was even better with this type of work than he is. That type of honesty/integrity is rare in almost any profession today, but I find it refreshing and reassuring in my attorney. Do yourself a favor, if need a "good divorce lawyer", give Eric a call. I am sure I will be reading your glowing review here at some future date.

To Whom It May Concern:

 

This letter comes to the Beal Law Firm just a couple of weeks after an intense consultation with Eric Beal on how to minimize the damage of a divorce proceeding and the attendant financial, domestic, familial, and community fall out from such a tragedy. Happily, with your skillful counsel and some careful maneuvering, the case will be dismissed by the court this week.

 

To those who are faced with a divorce petition not of their own choice, I can enthusiastically, whole-heartedly, and without reservation recommend Eric Beal and the Beal Law Firm.

 

In my experience, Eric and his capable staff were always available, even changing schedules to make timely consultations possible. They focus exclusively on family law in the metro area, which give them a very big advantage in the arbitrary nature of a family law court proceeding. Eric was true to his word to use the lowest skill level in the office to complete assignments, such that clerical duties didn’t bill at $400 an hour. To me, Eric’s billings were honest almost to a fault, and were very, very reasonable given the track record and high service level of the Beal Law Firm. I had no idea such superior talent could be so affordable.If you find yourself in the terribly unfortunate position of an unwanted divorce proceeding, Eric and his most capable team at the Beal Law Firm will be a ray of light to bless your world.  Take advantage of it.

An answered prayer! That's what I want to say about this firm. From the moment I walked in I was always greeted warmly and treated with the utmost respect. I have been a client for over 2 years now and I don't plan on using anybody else ever.

 

I have been blessed enough to have the counsel of Eric Beal, Constance Mims, and Ana Bachmann in a child custody matter. My daughter is healthy, safe, and happy because of the expertise of this group. She is thriving and I can't begin to express how hard they have all worked on my case. Every penny spent has been more than worth it because they have provided a way for me to have the best for my child.

 

Thank you Beal Law Firm for everything!

Eric Beal and his associates provided timely, highly professional service in my case. I appreciated the clear communication throughout my divorce and highly recommend him.

I have known Eric as a colleague and friend for more than 20 years. I had no idea that I would personally need to avail myself of his family law expertise, but in the middle of 2013, I did. As tough as it was to 1) work through the dissolution of a marriage of 20+ years and 2) how to limit the collateral damage to the three wonderful kids of that marriage, Eric and his entire staff were there with knowledge and professional representation every step of the way. The end result was that the divorce was finalized on December 31, 2013, and I am now able to move forward. I have referred a number of clients to Eric over the years and prior to my divorce. Following my own divorce, I am all the more happy and confident to recommend the services of Eric, the attorneys in his office, and his staff.

-- Divorce Client, 2008

"We’re going on a year now since my divorce was final and two years since my [spouse] left me unexpectedly.  I remember vividly that first day I came to see you.  I thought my world had ended.  And, after discussing my situation, I think you agreed that I was in a difficult position.  But, you reminded me that you were an attorney and counselor at law.  Based upon experience, you had a good idea of how the divorce would go, and frankly, how my life would go over the course of the next few years.  In fact, you said “I’ve seen this so many times before.  In three years, [your spouse] and the other [person] will have broken up and you’ll be married to someone better.”  Well, I’m glad to say you were right.  I am engaged to a wonderful [person] who respects and appreciates me.  Unfortunately for [my-ex], the other [person] didn’t work out. 

. . . So, I want to extend my sincerest appreciation for all you did to help me through that incredibly difficult time.  Your guidance led me to a divorce settlement that was more than fair.  And, your counsel prepared me for the better life to come.  I couldn’t be happier.  Thank you!"

-- Divorce and Child Custody Client, 2008

 

 

"First, let me say that what led me to seeking your counsel was, in large part, the reviews posted by your clients on your website, your resume...and the fact that you are a US Marine.
