Beverly Lerch Nored’s Reviews

She is a very knowledgeable and empathetic lawyer. My divorce was emotional and highly personal process and I felt comfortable to share with her some of the personal details of my life. She patiently answered my questions and guided me through it. She understood my position that my child needs must go first, and worked toward the mediation outcomes which were in favor of the child’s wellbeing after the divorce. She definitely had solid understanding of my complex financial issues. It was also helpful to know that she shared and supported my attitude toward the divorce and my desire to finish the difficult process as soon as possible. I highly recommend her for competent and personal representation.

I would highly recommend Beverly L. Nored. She is very knowledgeable and fair. She works hard at understanding between the lines and best helping her clients. She is also very devoted to her clients. I feel I was represented by a strong woman of integrity. Bev, is also a team player. I felt safe just knowing that she was in the lead on my case.

Bev Nored is an excellent attorney. I had an experience with her when my attorney was not available for an emergency hearing. Nored works in the same office as my attorney so he recommended that she represent me that day. I filled her in on my case and she asked clarifying questions. At court that afternoon she did exactly what I needed and I got the result I wanted. I highly recommend working with Bev, she was sympathetic to my needs while explaining the legal side.

Bev did a great job, putting her heart and soul into our case. At late notice and with the chips down, she pulled together a good defense which resulted in a favorable outcome. Even my wife (petitioner) thanked her for her work. If you want, she might even take time to pray with you before trial.

Bev stepped into a complicated divorce just one month before trial and did an amazing job. She was skilled, insightful, patient and doggedly hard-working. She went the extra mile to make sure we had the best possible legal representation under the circumstances. On top of that, she is a kind and compassionate person, a definite necessity in our case with all the emotional upheaval and distress. She kept us rational and reasonable under pressure. Thank you Bev! Great job.

I would recommend Beverly Lerch to anyone that is in need of a Family law attorney. She was informative, helpful and very knowledgeable. Two Thumbs Up...

Bev represented me in my divorce. She understood my wishes and requests and strived to meet them as best she could. I wanted to settle without going to court, but not to back down and leave without a fair agreement. She worked diligently to secure a plan that met my wishes as close as possible. It was quick, and as relatively painless as a divorce can be.

Beverly was instrumental in getting me through my divorce with my sanity in tact.

Beverly took over my divorce case in the 11th hour, after my first attorney withdrew from my case less than two months from the date we were due in court for the final review. His reason was due to my non-ability to pay his bill. While I had felt, he had mismanaging my case. First, his office filled out all documents for Pierce County courts. This after I had asked if he could do a case in King County and had asked that questions many times before, during and after I hired him. I lived in King County as well as my spouse; I wanted my Legal Separation filed in King County. I fell he did not keep me well informed. He missed court dates. He did not ask enough questions in the discovery stage nor request a list of all assets, as well as not filing required documents with the court when needed. Over the eight months, it turned into a Divorce case.

Once I had hired Beverly Nored, Beverly was able to sort out the most important aspects of my Divorce in short order (THREE MONTHS); she was able to understand me even in my overly charged emotional state. (I did not want to be divorced). Beverly was able to keep both sides balanced, the other attorney on track and focused. She was able to keep costs to a minimum. As well as being as fair as she could within a very short time, she had the case to work on. Once the case was in her hands, she has an agreement that I could live with in place and the divorce is now final.

I believe the outcome would only been better had Beverly Nored been my attorney from the very beginning. I have already recommended Beverly to others who are in a position of thinking of Legal Separation or Divorce.

Beverly analyzed contracts for me. Beyond her knolwedgable and specific response, Bev provied me a cogent and succinct analysis of my situation and options, and she provided me ideas about longer-term strategies and approaches. She knew my means were limited and worked within them.

Beverly is very intelligent, compassionate and hard working. Bev had been an associate attorney to a senior attorney, Ron Mattson, but I wish I could have had her heading up the team instead. She gave me a lot of practical advice as to how to react in certain situations and always kept me focused. I would recommend and/or hire her again in a heartbeat. She did a fantastic job for me and got me a good result.

Wechsler Becker LLP is privileged to have Bev on their staff. As the mediator told me I had the workings of the perfect storm. Bev did an impeccable job in ALL aspects of my divorce.
Bev always kept me up to date with all proceedings, options, concerns and questions I had. She thoroughly prepared me for the many motions that were filed in my case and what to expect as well as preparing me for the lengthy mediation. She jumped through hoops for me at the 11th hour so I could understand every line item and exactly how much community cash I was receiving as I was exhausted and had already taken 3 pain pills that day leaving my head a little foggy and could no longer add up the numbers. She knew exactly what I was requesting and quickly whipped out a spreadsheet with the numbers I wanted to see.
She has a very sharp mind and outstanding memory. Bev knew my accounts, balances and dates of several egregious activities as well as hearing dates that occurred during my divorce. She knew exactly where everything was and is extremely organized. When dealing with any attorney connected in this case she would correct them with supporting documentation immediately. Nothing got by Bev. Unlike the several Opposing Counsel's (4) in my case Bev never submitted anything without factual documentation and I respect her for that.
More importantly in my case, not only did I get a professional attorney with Bev but I also got the moral, ethical and compassionate support from her while she was able to keep the professional and personal aspects of my case separated. After one particular hearing I just couldn't wait around for everything to get signed and Bev had sensed I was going to break down and offered to walk me to my car while I broke out in tears and she talked me through it. I was pleasantly surprised to learn late on in my divorce from Wechsler Becker's web page that Bev had majored in religion. Another fine incident was on May 3, 2011, she apparently left a meeting early to call me as I had just received a great deal of emotional garbage to read from the 4th opposing counsel. Bev had the gut feeling I was falling apart and she called me at the perfect time and again pulled me together. Bev began as my assistant but near the end I considered Bev more my attorney. In many of my motions/hearings she was held back in my case and many of the mistakes that had been made would not have occurred.
I'm sure that Wechsler Becker handles many more difficult and challenging cases than mine although I've been told that mine ranked up there. I believe Bev learned a great deal about con artists and dishonesty as I did that her own future cases will have all the i's dotted and t's crossed.
In the future I would absolutely recommend Beverly Nored to anyone needing a knowledgeable, honest and compassionate family law attorney. She is outstanding and I couldn't have made it through this divorce with my sense of humor still intact without her.
