The Iron Man Lawyer

I don’t think anyone wants to be in a place where they need to hire a lawyer, especially in criminal litigation. However, if you need to do that, you would be doing a major disservice to yourself by not hiring Chris Beechler with Beechler Tomberlin. Chris is by far one of the best white-collar la...wyers I have ever met/hired. This is coming from someone who knows/works with some of the top entertainment/sports lawyers in the country and interacts with white-collar executives/A-list professionals. Chris demonstrates a C-suite level skill set, superb litigation knowledge, and white-glove professionalism. If that doesn’t turn your head then his stats just might persuade you: - He made the top 2% of NC lawyers to enter the Rising Stars - for excellence in litigation. - He made the top 5% of NC lawyers to be accepted as a Super Lawyer. - for excellence and professionalism. - He was awarded the AV Preeminent - one of the highest awards to be received by lawyers. To top this off he is about 1 of 4 lawyers in NC that handles state & federal litigation issues - demonstrating a high level of expertise. Chris has a stunning court record. His impressive work on my case got him dubbed as the “Iron Man Lawyer”. Chris expertly assessed my situation with care and sympathy. He understood it from start to finish and gave quality play-by-play actions that in the end, got impressive results. Of course, you have to follow his advice. He sets clear expectations and comes from the viewpoint of underselling and over-delivering. He WILL work around the clock for you and is never “unreachable”. He treats everyone with the highest respect and professional care. He and the firm are a well-oiled machine and work beyond expectations. His paralegal Amy is amazing; demonstrating elite support that knocks it out of the park. If I know anything about great support, it is that in business, you’re dead in the water if you do not have it. After the dust settled Chris and Amy didn’t quit, they filed final motions to set me up for success before I even asked. Thanks, guys for your help. Sincerely

Excellent and Knowledgeable Attorney

Chris was there for me from the start to finish. He stayed in contact with me throughout the entire court process. He is very professional and knowledgeable. Chris is prompt and will have your best interest. He made sure that I was comfortable and understanding of all proceedings. His paralegal is ex...tremely pleasant and helpful. I would 100% recommend his services.

Incredible guidance through the most difficult time.

Chris Beechler was able to calmly and competently handle a very personal legal situation for me; that were it not for his expertise and ability, could have negatively impacted every aspect of my life. While my situation was far from his biggest case, he was always available, always accessible for co...mmunication, and always a voice of reason. He was honest with me from the start about the challenges I would face, without making me feel small at any time. His knowledge and professionalism about every hurdle I faced made what seemed to be an insurmountable situation for me, become manageable and ultimately solvable. He resolved my situation in a way that was suitable for all parties involved, and had my back every step of the way. Making that initial call to Chris on one of the worst days of my life was the best decision I made.

Just absolutely the best, outstanding

Chris was recommended to me by a friend in another part of NC. We needed a lawyer for my son. I'm a lawyer myself and I know a good lawyer when I encounter one. I just can't s say enough about Chris: response, effective, results-oriented, smart, knowledgeable, experienced, well-connected, and ea...sy to talk to. My son got the best result of anyone in the group that was charged and Chris' fee cost no more than any of the other lawyers. He also gave my son some good warnings about the particulars of NC law and what to watch out for. I wish every lawyer was like this. I hope no one I know is ever in trouble in NC again but if they are, I want Chris by their side.

Great Service

Mr Beechler was very knowledgeable and helpful in my son's case. He made the process easy (especially with Covid concerns) and handled everything in a timely manner with a great result.
