Strongly Recommend (Family Law)

Joseph did an excellent job negotiating and authoring my separation agreement and final order of divorce. He was thorough and clear in his explanations when I had questions, always putting the interests of his client first. Highly recommend.

Excellent Family Lawyer

I was surprised by a divorce filing and things weren’t working out with the attorney I hired on short notice. I was in a very difficult situation. Luckily for me, Joe Beale agreed to take over my case. Joe is a knowledgeable and compassionate attorney who has done an excellent job of representing me ...and my children. I recommend Joe for anyone who needs family law representation.

Compassionate and respectful

Mr. Beale has been assisting me with a very painful, complicated, and unexpected divorce case involving shared tax debt, a co-owned business, and the custodial arrangements for 4 homeschooled children between the ages of 4 and 13. I have found him to be sensitive to my emotional trauma, knowledgable,... professional and yet approachable in his demeanor, honest in his assessments, responsive to my calls and texts, and reasonable and transparent in his billing. He helped me find a private investigator who was efficient and effective in confirming the suspected adultery. He was always receptive to, and respectful of, my input. He reviewed written exchanges between myself and my estranged spouse to assess the nature of our relationship and of our disagreements, and to protect me from conveying things that could be misunderstood or misconstrued. He encouraged me to stand up for myself, while helping me keep my focus on the most important aspect of the situation - the wellbeing of our children. Due to the high costs of divorce cases, from the beginning, Mr. Beale encouraged me to pursue mediation before involving the courts. He recommended two different mediation groups, and was open to helping me prepare my position for presentation to those parties, either with or without his attendance. I was warned many times by others I was speaking with that attorneys commonly drive these cases into the courts and bleed you dry. But Mr. Beale never encouraged that, and has always respected and supported my desire to avoid unnecessary formal litigation. I have always felt that he legitimately cared about my wellbeing and my financial security, and that he feels he does not need to take advantage of clients to support himself. I have been pleased with Mr. Beale's service and advice, and would recommend him to friends and family without reservation.

Clarity and Understanding since day 1

Even though family law is never easy, Mr. Beale was thorough since the beginning in terms of expectation/scope of work, and crystal from a financial standpoint. I would definitely recommend hiring him.
