Michael F. Beyda

I hired Michael Beyda (divorce ) because I knew my husband was worth a lot of money and at the end of the day I wasn’t protected A stay at home mom married 37 years I had to go to trial and my ex didn’t want to give me anything Michael Beyda was weak in court and I was on trail My husband h...ad told me the company was worth 8-10 mil Michael couldn’t prove it Actually Michael didn’t care enough to really investigate It cost me the proceeds of the marital home, and which Michael Beyda sent a courier to pick up his fee because my ex paid a very small portion of my legal fees and FYI I’m still paying legal fees because my ex still isn’t honoring the stipulation but in regards to the company he owned I received $200,000 (final) but knew he would sell for millions and Michael Beta ““ said to me if you your going to get the gains in the future you’re also responsible for the losses that advice was horrible and my emotions were all over the place He was hired to protect me and didn’t Once the judge signed the papers and the divorce was final, my ex-husband sold the company for $42 million and you know who is struggling financially me and Michael Beyda Ran off with hundreds of thousands and never looked back He actually had the nerve to say to me maybe you’ll come into an inheritance one day really, karma He has ruined my life

While I have not had much interaction with lawyers, I am a successful, high profile executive with more than 20 years of experience. Mr. Beyda is the weakest and most selfish person I have ever met. My particular case was all about common sense and should have been a lay-up for anyone with a head o...n their shoulders. Instead, I found myself in a constant defending position with a judge that paid zero attention to Mr. Beyda or whatever he said. Not only was he not aggressive, he was fixated on money. From day one, his questions were around how much I made, how much I had on my accounts and where was "other" money. After getting pounded at each and every appearance, rather than answer questions about strategy or what just happened, he would refer to outstanding bills as the reason why we were where we were. I was constantly answering questions to relatives and friends and even other lawyers about "what exactly is your lawyer doing?" He never had a strategy, he was extremely lazy and wanted me to do all the work, and his obsession with getting paid clouded his judgement. I would not recommend this guy to anyone ever. In a matter of 4 months I paid him $50K and had zero results, other than him asking for another $30K. And when the judgement started getting away from us, rather than regroup, he insisted on signing a release form so that he could get out from under this losing scenario he put us in. Stay away from this guy and his firm.
