Brandon D. Beardsley

Mr Beardsley is an excellent lawyer. He is very thorough and competent. In handling my divorce case we went over all of the details so that I understood what to expect. I felt that there were no surprises and the information I was asked to provide to Mr Beardsley’s legal team helped me get the resul...ts from my divorce case greater than I expected. I highly recommend Mr Beardsley for all legal matters.

Brandon listens, strategizes and knows his way around the St. Johns County court. He saved me from PAYING alimony, got me back into my house, and got my kids back to me after a long drawn out nasty divorce proceedings, custody evals, psych assessments, and wage assessments. Brandon went way above and... way beyond what most attorneys would have done. But if you want to win, he can't do it all by himself. You have to have your documents, paperwork, etc. ready to battle. Best part was he kept me sane the whole miserable time and proved patience will provail. He also tried to minimize expenses by NOT responding to every rediculous motion filed against me until we were in the hearing. Day one he said to do what he said, even if I didn't always agree. He was right - 99% of the time :). His strategy worked and I am forever grateful.

Brandon represented me in my divorce in 2008. It was already a train wreck by the time I retained him which wasn’t his fault. However, he was honest with me from the start on my position in the matter. Brandon took the time to answer my questions and explain the divorce process to me. He handled ...everything from a legal standpoint and acted in an ethical and professional matter at all times. This was important to me as I refused to stoop to my ex wife’s level in this matter and he made sure it didn’t happen. I didn’t find Brandon’s experience level to be an issue at all. I needed someone that could guide and direct me when necessary as I had other issues (like dealing with the police and IRS) beyond a simple divorce. When matters came to light that were beyond his area of expertise Brandon brought in some very competent attorneys to advise me on the proper course of action. They had a complete understanding of the criminal issues and tax matters that were created by my ex wife. As a result of the advice and assistance I received from Brandon and those attorneys I was able to get through my divorce, continue my life, and start over. My ex wife is now facing multiple felony charges and has basically destroyed her life. There is no doubt in my mind that I picked the right attorney to handle my divorce. Considering the circumstances the outcome was perfect for me and so priceless it could be a Visa commercial. I continue to work with Brandon as I consider him to be a trusted advisor that acts in my best interests at all times. If you want an honest, ethical, and fair attorney this is your guy. Thanks for all of your help Brandon.

I hired Brandon as my divorce attorney to help me win custody of my daughter. He told me that he knew about these "20 factors" that the court considers and that no other attorneys knew about this, so he had an "edge". He sent me financial affidavit paperwork to fill out without instructions. Whenever... I called he was never there. I left messages and he never called back. He did not respond to my emails. He sent interrogatories to my husband without telling me or asking for my input. He did not ask me for any "facts" regarding me or my husband. He received financial statements and never shared them with me. He set a 2 hour practice session to go over things before my first hearing and cut it short at one hour claiming that we were "ready". During the hearing, he allowed the opposing counsel to control 75% of the time, and only objected to testimony twice. He asked me questions that we did not practice, which caused me to hurt my own case. He did not ask me my side of the story for any of the lies my husband told on the stand, so his story became "fact". He failed to even mention my husbands documented suicide attempts, which I thought were highly relevant. He didn't file contempt charges when my husband removed the entire contents our home and took everything.
