Review

Chris represented me about 11 years ago. Recently the laws changed and Chris has the foresight to contact me and tell me that he could now help me even further with my case. He didn’t have to do that but he had genuine concern for me as a client, even years later. This is a difference maker in my min...d when finding someone you can trust to represent you.

Tim - Even though the past situation didn't prevent you from impressive professional success, I'm glad we could close it out forever. Sometimes changes to criminal laws is actually a good thing! I'm sure I'll see you at some event in the near future. Call my with any concerns. Thank you, Chris

Restraining Order Matter

I paid for a consult to understand my legal rights with regard to reinitiating a restraining order. Atty Beechler treated me with respect by listening carefully to my concerns and reviewing my documentation. It was an hour well spent and he insured all my questions were answered and even covered th...ings I had not considered that came up in our discussion. Excellent communicator and puts you at ease. He provides information and advice in a forthright manner that is easy to understand. I felt confident I had received the very best advice and path forward at this time.

THE absolute BEST! Hands down

I chose to retain Mr. Beechler for a very serious charge for a family member. He and his staff are extremely professional, prompt, courteous and knowledgeable and has an immense amount of legal expertise, as well as a commendable record of defending his clientele. Each time I’ve made contact from... the very 1st call to Tom to repeat calls, to emails - a prompt response (very prompt) was always rendered. Questions answered almost immediately (always less than 30 mins), emails replied too as well and Mr. Beecher does an excellent job of keeping us the family in the loop and the offender. Making repeated visits to the jail upon my request and speaking collectively with the proper entities to ensure the utmost level of defense from day 1. Our case isn’t complete at this time, yet I have no qualms about giving Mr. Beechler a 10+ rating. He has represented a dear friend of mine in past proceedings, as well as many other clients that I am familiar with. He is a phenomenal attorney and always goes to bat with a brigade of knowledge and ready to address any angle in and out of the courtroom. We appreciate everything you do for our family and we are claiming nothing short of a victory going forward with you as defending counsel. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! You won’t regret retaining Mr. Beechler. God bless you !

Thank you, Amy. I know we have more work to do, and I can't thank you enough for your support and continued patience. You've already done so much to help get us in a much better position! We are lucky to have you actively participating in the defense! I know we'll speak soon, Chris

Professional, Personable and Caring

We hired Chris to provide legal council for a delicate matter and he was wonderful. He is knowledgeable of the law, procedures and works to expedite items that he can. Beyond his expertise in the field is the true care given to his clients and their family. He responds to email quickly, answers all q...uestions and never makes you feel hurried or unimportant. Every encounter with anyone at his firm was professional, personable and caring.

I really appreciate the generous review! More importantly, I'm pleased with how quickly we could prevent any frivolous charges. I'm always available to you if the need arises! Thanks again, Chris

Excellent attorney.

Chris advised me strongly and in my best interest from day one. I couldn't have made it through without his knowledge, wisdom and guidance. I have a completely different view of a criminal defense lawyer after walking through the most horrible time in my life. He was very organized when I was interv...iewed which gave me even more confidence. I really appreciate his kindness as well, but tough in protecting me.
