Custody Case/ Family Law

Words cannot describe how grateful I am to Alina and Cindy at Beacon Law Firm for their help and great work regarding my child custody case. They were so helpful, always advising me promptly and taking me along in each step of the way! I highly recommend beacon law for any custody or family law ...case. My attorney Alina was exceptional, well detailed and very knowledgeable, she knows what she is doing and got me sole custody for my children and her paralegal Cindy, was always very responsive, keeping me informed and updated all the way. Beacon Law firm is more than just a firm , they are dedicated to helping families with custody issues and they TRULY CARE about their clients. Thank you so much Alina! I couldn’t have asked for a better Attorney. God Bless you all

Phenomenal!

Alina was very effective at handling my custody conciliation. She is very smart, articulate, kind and helpful. She’s so good at what she does! I highly recommend her. From the moment you meet her it’s clear that your case is important to her

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.

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!
