This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Professional, ethical, very knowledgeable.

David represented me with the utmost professionalism. His ethics are of the highest standards and I appreciated this very much. Divorce is a difficult process to go through - it is a lot to handle and very emotional. David was able to separate emotion and law very well. This was incredibly helpful fo...r me in making decisions. He stood by me through my every request, and used his knowledge of the law to guide me through each possible scenario. I also appreciated that he never made empty promises, he was straightforward and used his best judgement to guide me. He also used his knowledge of the law to maneuver arguments in court or with opposing council. I believe this represents the highest ethical standards. While he was a very nice person in general, this was not necessary to me when I was looking to hire an attorney. I needed someone who would be honest, straightforward, and sharp. He delivered all of those things. He also was very professional with opposing counsel. His legal staff was excellent as well - Julie Jennings was beyond professional, efficient, and personable. Overall, for such a difficult process, I am very glad that I was referred to David and the firm.

Everything I hoped for

David was wonderful. He was aggressive when I needed him to be and reasonable when the circumstances called for it. He explained everything to me throughout my divorce in a manner that was relative and easy to understand. He guided me throughout the entire process and absolutely had my best interests... in mind. He supported me throughout the process and fought for what was a fair and equitable divide. When I let emotions get the best of me, he gently set me straight and assured me that we were getting what was fair. I have nothing but the utmost respect for David and his firm. If I (unfortunately) ever need legal counsel again, I will 100% ask David to represent me, without question. Fair, honest, caring, incredibly intelligent, and a bulldog when you need him to be, David made my long, drawn-out divorce a tolerable experience. I trusted him and he stood by me and fought for me; a champion in my corner. I have noting but the highest praise for him and his work.

Grateful Client

Mr. Beaudry is thorough, prepared and willing to fight for you. He listens to his clients and makes himself available whenever an issue arises. He takes the time to understand the details of your case and he helps you to cope through the process. That has been my experience as one of Mr. Beaudry’s cl...ients. I consider him to be an expert in the field of Family Law and one of the best attorney’s I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. I would strongly recommend his service to anyone who asks. He is professional, knowledgeable and kind.

David Beaudry - Excellent Divorce Attorney

David Beaudry of Meriwether and Tharp in my opinion is the attorney to hire when getting divorced. I had an extremely complicated divorce which involved a spouse and attorney with unreasonable expectations as to what my spouse was entitled to in the divorce settlement. David was not only able to ne...gotiate a fair settlement without going to trial, he was able to keep me calm no matter what ridiculous claims or statements made by the opposing attorney and my ex. Divorce is not easy, but David made it as easy as possible. I trust David so much, that when I got remarried six years later and had moved many states away, I still had David review my pre nup agreement with my new wife. David is my lawyer for life when it comes to anything related to my marriages.

Divorce Jury Trial

I have been going through my divorce for 2 years. It finally came down to a jury trial and David was my attorney. David is a very confidant attorney of which I needed. He worked hard through this difficult time for me and he won my divorce for me. I would recommend David as your divorce lawyer becaus...e he is an attorney that works very hard for what you deserve and he works overtime to get the job done. He is very understanding attorney and has total empathy for your situation. If you want what you have earned in your divorce, feel confidant in hiring David as your attorney. You won't have to search anywhere else. Thank you David for everything you have done for me.
