Attorney Autumn Beck Blackledge is an absolute force in family law. I had the privilege of observing her represent my friend through a highly contentious divorce where litigation abuse was a constant tactic from the opposing party. Despite the intensity and complexity of the case, Autumn remained unw...

I am so impressed by Autumn and her abilities. When I hired her, I was impressed with her direct communication and no nonsense style. Working with her was easy because she is organized.

Autumn handled my divorce. She was fast and was able to solve some hard problems that I thought would make our divorce expensive. But she knew how our judge liked things and worked a lot with the attorney on the other side so there were no delays. She used her experience to get to the meat of the cas...

Paid a lot of money to Autumn’s firm to get nothing done. Ended up hiring another attorney after over a year and 8K with nothing being done. Spoke to her two times. Other reviews here about her firm charging a lot of money and doing nothing are spot on. Do not waste your money.

Autumn Blackledge and her firm handled my uncontested divorce with professionalism and promptness. I would certainly recommend her services to anyone considering hiring a divorce and/or family law attorney.
"Autumn and I have worked on several cases together. She is at all times professional even if she has the client who is being unreasonable. She identifies with her client and cares. She cuts through the drama and sees the best resolution for her client."
"I endorse this lawyer. Ms. Beck represented the opposing party in a modification matter and she was absolutely wonderful to work with. I respect her as a fellow attorney and am truly impressed by her knowledge of family law. She was truly an inspiring advocate for her client in this particular matter."
"I endorse this lawyer. Ms. Beck offers very sound, thorough and real world advice to Avvo questioners. I consider her an exceptional family law attorney and would have no reservation referring a client needing her services in the Pensacola area."
