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.

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!

I would highly recommend Attorney Dusharm & Trinity Law Firm

I was looking for an attorney I could trust for my custody case. A friend of mine saw that I was looking for a good attorney so she had recommended I contact Trinity Law Firm. She used them in the past for her custody case and was extremely pleased with the honesty & integrity of the entire firm. ...This is a Christian based law firm with attorneys that have Christian values. I was recommended to Attorney Dusharm and thankfully so. She is a woman who takes pride in her work and helping her clients & their families to get what they deserve. From day one she made it perfectly clear to me that she & her staff would be praying for me and that she would be willing to fight for me. I had faith that GOD led me to her for a reason! Her and her staff take a personal interest with their clients and I believe that they truly care! Attorney Dusharm & her staff are very down to earth and easy to talk to. I fully trust her recommendations and will continue to use her as long as I have to. I would highly recommend her to anyone that is looking for an honest and down to earth attorney.
