Custody case

Beacon Law was honestly a blessing to me and my custody case. I was sued for custody of my son, I was currently out of work and reaching out to suggested attorneys (given my current financial situation). I was encouraged to sign up for the modest means program and was approved, however I wasn’t rec...eiving any call backs after multiple calls and messages left to multiple attorneys. Attorney Alina Deshaurn reached out to me quickly. I was very impressed with the fact that she was completely honest from the start. I provided her with my information and current circumstances, she didn’t say anything more than what she believed she could accomplish for me. Every interaction with her and her team was professional and kind. whenever I had questions, they responded quickly with very detailed responses, which made me much more comfortable reaching out for anything that I may not have understood. Attorney Deshaurn was very clear on what she believed she could fight for given my case and circumstance and did exactly what she said.

Custody Trial

Beacon law was my saving grace in a time that I felt helpless. They helped me obtain primary custody of my daughter. I had Alina and Cindy by my side from October to April and within that time frame we were able to build a strong case against the other party. Alina always supported me in several diff...erent ways—she would even advise me on EXACTLY what to do or say in situations. I never had to wait long for a response and if Alina wasn't there, Cindy, her paralegal would help me to the best of her ability. Cindy is very knowledgable and helped tremendously and guided me every step of the way! I made countless calls to Cindy and she was always willing to listen, always gave great advice and always treated my case as if it were her own. Alina and Cindy are not just there to be your friend or “yes” lawyer, and will tell you when you need to change something you are doing to better support your case. They will advise you when things are wrong and how to fix it, and I recommend listening to all and any advice they give, even when it is not easy! I put all my faith into beacon law and I'm so glad that I did. I will return to Alina with any future issues that may arise and will always speak her name to the highest level of respect and gratitude. She knows her laws and she is amazing at what she does. Her entire team treats your family like their own. Though I thought she was great on a daily basis, when we walked into the court room she fought for me fiercely! She knew exactly how to lay out the exhibits and how to attack them and get points across. She is great at explaining your case but also defending/objecting against the other parties case. She listened to all and any concerns and got me everything I wanted and more. I will always recommend Beacon law… Alina and her staff are worth EVERY dollar.

Best Attorney

Alina was not my first attorney for custody. She was my second and came highly recommended by someone at the PA Bar Association after I called to relay what my experience was with my attorney at the time. Alina jumped into a very messy custody battle and was absolutely amazing. She is kind and attent...ive and truly cared about my case. She is hard working and I have felt in this whole journey with her, that I was in the best of hands. She is easy to get in touch with, gives honest advice, and tells it how it is. She is intelligent and fights so hard for her clients. I recommend her to everyone. She is worth every penny and more.

Child custody and PFA

Alina went above and beyond my expectations as a lawyer for my child custody case. She listened to me and handled my case accordingly. She gave me advice and explained the process as we went through it and answered questions when I had them. I felt comfortable with her as my attorney and she fought f...or me and my son. I was glad I had her on my side.

1What a pleasure to work with

Attorney Alina Dusharm and Senior Paralegal Cindy Dennes were more than favorable to work with. They both took the time to really understand the sensitivity of my situation and work with my requests in every way possible. They helped my husband adopt my daughter and made it a point to do what was b...est for our daughter. I would highly recommend Trinity Law and Alina and Cindy to anyone in the need of legal services!
