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

He reacted very quick to my case. I was charged with a felony which he was able to get a plea deal and ultimately have expunged. I would definitely recommend his services to anyone in need of a criminal lawyer in the Winston Salem Area.

E - that was a ridiculous situation. I'm so happy it's over and expunged! Good luck with everything - call me if I can ever help. Thank you, Chris

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.

Relieved Parent

Chris worked with our teenage son through a serious speeding ticket and related court appearances. Chris listened well, was honest and forthright with our son about the serious nature of his actions but also empathetic and not unnecessarily alarmist. He clearly cared about our son but took his role s...eriously in helping our son understand both his circumstances and his action's consequences. While we hope we do not need to, we would hire him again in a skinny minute.

Highly recommend Mr. Beechler

My case was unusual. I had a 4.5 year old pending charge on my record that had never been served to me. I needed the charge gone almost immediately so that I could start a new job due to the charge showing as pending on my background check. I contacted upwards of 30 lawyers and Chris Beechler got bac...k to me about an hour after I contacted his firm. I told him my unusual circumstances and he assured me he was confident he could have my charge dismissed by the state before Friday afternoon. I retained Mr. Beechler. After I did, I heard from a few other lawyers in the area that told me nothing could be done unless I was served the court papers. Which, to be clear, would have involved me traveling from Minnesota to North Carolina just to handle this. By 11:30am the next day, I had been contacted by Chris informing me that the charge was going to be dismissed by the state and he was expediting the paperwork to reflect this. At 12:00pm I had the copies of papers emailed to me and signed by the prosecutor which was more than sufficient for me to start my new employment opportunity. Chris Beechler exceeded all my expectations and I would highly recommend him to anyone considering hiring him.

Thank you Morgan! I hope the new position is just what you hoped it would be. I'm glad I could step in and deliver for you on a pretty tight deadline! All my best, Chris
