Awesome Lawyer!

Our experience with Chris Beechler was positive from the moment we met him. Without any pressure to hire him, he welcomed us into his office to hear our story and advise us of our options. Over the course of the 6-month case that followed, he always kept us informed, answered any questions we had, an...d just, generally tried to make every experience as easy as possible. For example, we never had to physically show up to court, he took care of it all. Chris is an honorable, attentive, and thorough lawyer for whom I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of help. Our only regret is that we did not know about him earlier to help us with earlier legal matters.

Murder Charges

We hired Mr Beechler for a Murder charge pending against a family member. We've never been through anything like this, so you can imagine how scared, nervous we were. From the time we called Mr. Beechler, to the end of the case, he was very compassionate, caring, upfront and honest. We appreciated th...is. In addition, we could actually talk to him like he was part of our family. Money was hard to come by, however, he was willing to work with us even after the case was finished. At the same time we were dealing with this case, we had a custody case pending (fighting for our grandkids) with another attorney. While Mr. Beechler did not handle that case (and we regret this), he did offer more advice, concern, guidance, and allowed us to ask him questions we couldn't get answers from with the family lawyer we did hired. We understand his partner is a family attorney, and wish we would have given her the money to fight for us. End results for both cases. Our family member received the best possible result with Mr. Beechler. Unfortunately, we lost our grandkids. Anyone looking for attorney's should start here.

Best experiance with the Justice sytem

Mr. Beechler was excellent at dealing with, what I thought was, an unusual case. I am deployed overseas and was still able to deal with a family member having an incident with the law. Mr. Beechler was very professional, responsive, attentive to our needs, and judgment free. Mr. Beechler was t...ruly creative in finding ways to work with the DA in finding a satisfying solution for our case. We only went to court one time, and Mr. Beechler "held our hand" through the entire process. We knew exactly what was going to happen before we showed up at the courthouse. I felt safety and security at a moment in my life that would normally make me fell extreme vulnerability. Hopefully I won't need to hire a criminal lawyer again, but if I do, I will certainly hire Mr. Beechler. I intend to use Mr. Beechler for ANY potential law issue, even as a consultant if it's out of his area of expertise. I can not thank him enough for what he did for my family.

Life saver!

I have been working with one lawyer on an iembezzlement case for over a year. After going to court 3 times, and the judge repeatedly asking my lawyer to bring more information, we appointed Mr. Beechler as our new Council. He, within one week, was able to get to know myself my family my background a...nd was truly caring about my situation. When we went to court I felt confident with his skills and we were able to get a sentence that was much more favorable. Mr. Beechler has so much knowledge of the judicial system, and he is very kind to each one of his clients. I would recommend him to anyone in the same scenario. Even after my sentencing date he has been in touch weekly providing updated emails and information on things I might need. I am so thankful for him.

K - you and your family have been absolutely wonderful. I'm so happy I could offer some comfort and piece of mind at the tail end of this marathon situation. You faced our last hearing with true courage. We are all proud of you!

Sharp grasp of the truth

Mr. Beechler was the consummate professional. He meticulously monitored the testimony of the opposing parties and the questions posed by opposing counsel. He used the testimony of my accusers to exonerate me. He was sharp, energetic, and trustworthy laying out all the options based on his perspectiv...e of the case.
