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.

Professional and Personal

When we needed legal help for our Custody case, my husband and I turned to Trinity Law. They had helped us with an adoption previously, so we already knew the character of the firm. Attorney Dusharm upheld our confidence in the firm. She was professional and straight forward, but also personal a...nd caring. We knew that she would not only be presenting us with legal guidance, but also praying for our situation, and guiding us according to what was best for our child - rather than what was best for her wallet. She was professional in word and appearance. She made sure that all documents were filed properly and that we understood what was happening. She and her paralegal kept us informed and answered our numerous emails and questions in a timely manner. Together they explained every step of the way and did what they could to keep things as affordable as possible. Our case ended up going to court, despite Attorney Dursharm's efforts to settle things without a Judge. Her confidence in our case gave us confidence as well. She presented the case with professionalism and grace. Because of her preparation, both with exhibits and our witnesses; we were able to clearly present the case for custody of our child. Because of the preparation regarding our child's other parent, Attorney Dusharm was able to call to light, the lies, manipulation, irresponsibility, and harm that had been happening so that the Judge could see it clearly. Because of Attorney Dusharm's diligence, professionalism, perseverance, and prayer; the best possible outcome was received. Our child is safer thanks to Attorney Dusharm!
