Excellent lawyer!!
My consultation with Mr. Beck went really well. He was very intuitive and easy to talk to. He was empathetic and reassuring. I am being targeted in a scam and he gave me practical advice. I felt much better about my situation immediately after speaking with him. I would recommend him to anyone.

Not what you want, he’s just a legal front.
Worst lawyer ever, strung me along on a case for a year and a half only To lose the entire case, a lot of possibilities a lot of maybe this may be that but never standing firm. The only thing he won was my bank check.

My Lawyer!
He got me out of a jam a few times. Simple assault he got dropped. Using him for 2 dui and a possession charge. Got me out of a crazy situation today. I'd recommend him to anyone looking for an intelligent lawyer who knows how to use their words..I really appreciate everything he's done for me.
