5-Star Divorce Lawyer (Children/Business/Real Estate)

Mr Beason came to me as a referral from another lawyer I was working with for the criminal side of my situation. My divorce included 2 small children, 2 homes and 3 businesses. There was a lot to sort through. He took the time to understand how we got here, what my goals were and he went straight to ...work. One thing you have to understand about Mr Beason is that he will NOT sugar coat anything and, trust me, it was 100% to my benefit. Divorce is serious. Mr Beason's professionalism, experience and sheer heart for his clients kept me on the right track of mental focus and always with a to-do list of what he needed from me. He defended me against hits from the other side that no one saw coming, not even the judge. At some points it was a long waiting game, but that was also strategy that sometimes I didn't see. I trusted him anyway because of the results (and signed court orders) I saw. Like the saying goes, "anything worth having is worth waiting (and fighting) for". Divorce takes work and I promise you Mr Beason worked harder than the multiple divorce lawyers representing my ex. Based on what I saw in the many many hearings we had in Davidson Co, my lawyer knew the law and what to say at the right time, every time. Just as important, he listened to me and took in what I had to say. My concerns and questions were validated, whether relevant or not. It was too easy to worry and be anxious about what was to come in my divorce. Surrounding myself with pros who care like Mr Beason was the best decision I made for my future with my children. The outcome is that I have full custody of my children, full control of the main business, two homes in my name and now the opportunity to move on freely and with confidence into the future. I would absolutely recommend Mr. Gere Beason.

If I could give him zero stars I would!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do not waste your money on this man. He does not respond to calls or emails for WEEKS, and is rude when you’re finally able to get ahold of him. You’ll feel like you’re holding his hand the entire time to get him to do his OWN job. His excuse is that he needs patience because of his own personal is...sues. He was hired 2 years ago to work on this divorce and it is still not final even though all paperwork is done and has been done!! He blames his clients for HIS slow work!!!

This comment is misleading. Unfortunately it's difficult to represent people who do not take the advice of their legal counsel and even more difficult when they do not obey court orders. It's important to always keep your attorney informed. I am one of the only attorneys that actually gives their cell phone number to their clients. I am probably the easiest attorney to reach. And as they say, "no good deed goes unpunished" I attempted to try to not charge this particular client as I was sensitive to their financial situation. Moreover attorneys cannot make opposing counsel agree to terms and when I explained that unfortunately I was going to have to send a bill to this client, this review was posted.

A Man of Integrity

Dealing with troubling times is never easy. Finding an honest attorney is just as hard. However, I was fortunate enough to find Gere! At one point in our mediation, he frequently checked on the opposing counsel and mediator to make sure neither of the two were "burning up the clock". He explained tha...t it was common for mediators to stretch out the time so they could make more. If that doesn't tell you the type of man he is, then I don't know what else could. With the knowledge and expertise Gere brought to the table, he was able to get me everything I asked for! Gere is a true professional to say the least. Because of him, I am able to watch my son grow up before my eyes. What more could a Father treasure? Do yourself a favor and meet with Gere Beason. You won't be disappointed!

Must Hire

Gere is the attorney you want on your case. He is passionate about his work and is really looking out for your best interest and that of your child(ren). On any case, having an attorney that can strategize the way Gere does is priceless! I cannot say enough about Gere’s dedication to his work and his... sincere interest in doing what is best. He is straight forward about potential outcomes, so you go into your case with your eyes wide open. I can say without a doubt that Gere will do everything he can for your case.

Fair and Knowledgeable

I hired Mr. Beason as my attorney to help with a parenting plan between myself and my child's father. I sat down with Mr. Beason during a consultation, and decided then that I wanted him to represent me. He took time to explain the basics of these situations beforehand, ensuring I knew whether I hire...d him or not I would have a better grasp on the laws and how to make the decisions I needed to. After hiring, Mr. Beason listened to my story and worked with me and the other party to make this a simple process. I feel if I didn't have the representation from Mr. Beason, my process wouldn't have been as easy. I was confident with everything we worked on and felt like all my concerns were addressed. I highly recommend Mr. Beason if you are looking for an attorney to be fair and knowledgeable in this matter.
