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.

My ex-Wife hates him, I loved him

I hired Gere to represent me. My Wife was cheating on me I suspected and we found out. Mr. Beason took her deposition and it was brutal for her. Before that my Wife's attorney was asking me to pay lots of money in alimony and debt. After that deposition, everything changed. They couldn't settle fast... enough. That's my experience with Mr. Beason. He was always honest with me even when it wasn't pleasant. I trust him and would hire him again for anything.

Poor service

Not worth the money. Always making excuse why he couldn’t get something done. Hired him for a divorce and couldn’t get him to work on my case because he was putting out “fires” in other case is what I was told. Then told me my retainer was almost gone cause I was calling to check on the status after ...he didn’t keep to the timeframes he gave me. Parted ways with him and got my divorce done in 3 months after waiting on him for 8 months.

This is not true. We live in a day and age where people, even when you've never represented them, can post negative things about people on he internet without signing their names. It can be anyone who has a problem with you or your family. It can be a person who you beat in court, wining your client custody, as I suspect this one particular review is related to, based on the timing. It's impossible to run a retainer out by just calling and checking on the status of a case. Feel free to ask any attorney if that's possible.

Great Attorney!!!

I hired Mr. Beason for a divorce case and I couldn’t have been happier. His dedication to my case was remarkable. I feel Mr Beason’s passion and knowledge helped me achieve a great outcome and for that I can’t think him enough!!!! I highly recommend him for family law!!!
