Coward

Coward. Cost me thousands. Never stood up for me and my rights. Hard to get ahold of. Took forever to return my phone calls or even reply to my emails.

Daughters divorce

I was out of state and needed someone who would look out for my daughter in a very contentious divorce and custody matter. Mr Beckham did an excellent job, was responsive and fairly priced, and made us feel he truly was looking out for my daughter and granddaughter. I would highly recommend Mr. Beckh...am.

Speechless

I've thought and thought what would be said on this review it's to much. It would take hours to explain. Just can't believe he's an attorney due to the fact he foes not take clients best interest into consideration. Takes weeks to get a return phone call months for a court date. Could go on and on bu...t what's the point. Alot if wasted money and tears shed over this worthless so called attorney.

Don't expect a good representation

Do not expect for quick response times....took anywhere from days to MONTHS to hear back from him during time sensitive portions of my divorce case. Mr. Beckham is possibly ok if you have a straight forward open & shut case that requires him to just file your divorce papers but if you have a divor...ce case dealing with custody, disagreements with the other side, or any other "complex" situation where he needs to research, have knowledge of the law, or actually defend you, then he is the wrong attorney to chose. During my divorce settlement he provided the wrong information regarding the law causing use to have a different outcome in our settlement. Was not until AFTER my divorce filing that I find out he was wrong regarding his knowledge of the law. He will not admit his wrongdoing and try to avoid the topic all together by not responding to you unless you continue to press on and on...and even then, the divorce is finalized and it is too late to correct his misguidance.

Simply awesome!

Darrell represented my son and I during my divorce and custody case and he was very knowledgeable about all of the laws and specifics regarding divorce and custody in the state of South Carolina. His responses and response times were impeccable and he was very polite, sensitive to all of my needs and... concerns and he was very calm, cool and collected. He was on point and on time, even early, in all matters concerning my case including court dates and court appearances. I highly recommend him and his services!
