Joanne Sue Beasy

As a long-time practicing lawyer in California, I needed a lawyer in Ohio to handle a personal matter. Ms. Peters' work was extremely professional and as perfect as she could be. There is nothing worse than having a lawyer as a client and Ms.Peters' dealt with me without being delayed on her quest. I would recommend her to anyone--C. Logan McKechnie, Merced, Ca.

Hiring Joanne to represent me during my divorce was the best thing I could have done. This was my first experience hiring an attorney. Before I found Joanne, I had spoken to and met with several attorneys where I got off the phone or left their office with a bad feeling. The first time I spoke to Joanne, I knew she was different. I cannot believe how fortunate I was in getting it right the first time by hiring Joanne. Joanne has extensive legal experience and knowledge. I appreciated Joanne exerting arguments in my best interest where they needed to be exerted. More importantly, Joanne had the integrity to advise me as to what arguments were not capable of being won where I would have been wasting my time and money. Joanne got me through my divorce with a bare minimal amount of time, effort and stress. In my opinion, Joanne's honesty and integrity as an attorney is virtually unheard of in the legal profession. I would never hesitate to refer Joanne to others.

We have worked with Joanne for almost 5 years as we have grown our business to more than double in size. She has been instrumental in every step of the way. Creating & negotiating contracts, settling disputes in a timely manner and advising us on even the smallest detail. Her contacts in the legal field are wide ranging & she is quick to reach out for support in any field if needed. We have been faced with some challenging disputes and with her assistance we have won every single one. Her time is valuable, but her billing is unquestionably fair. This is an important apsect of the relationship when you are a business owner. And, she is "tough as nails"...

I worked with a start-up company that grew from under $1,000,000 in sales to about $60,000,000 in sales in five years. The owner grew very litigious with his extensive non-compete agreement and everyone - dealers - that had a problem with him felt his wrath. The company grew and was held together with fear. Many people were very afraid and suffered because of their agreement they had signed was one- sided. In the beginning this was not a problem and it was unforeseeable that the agreement was going to be used in the most aggressive and destructive way possible, even beyond any legal remedy - just to cause the loss of time and money. Most dealers did have problems. Over 60 out of 400 'former dealers' felt the wrath of this company using their agreement as a sword and tormenting them until they were tired, out of money, and beat down. Over 60 were or are involved in litigation, some for over 5 years. Many of my friends, before I fell into a major legal dispute, retained an attorney only to have the attorney overwhelmed, out organized, and in a situation were they withdrew from the case because the opposition was too tough. The opposition had been fighting these exact cases for five years. They didn't know what hit them. (the clients and attorneys) The legal firm would ask for a few thousand up front but then want up to $50,000 or more to go to trial. This was to get out of these tough cases. So when I needed consul, I was extremely worried. I knew that my case, and maybe my financial future was dependent on one individual. Most attorneys took months just to catch up on 'non-compete' issues and had no idea what they were up against. When the attorney found out they just gave up because it was a hard case. On the other hand Joanne Peters, without any hesitation, can be recommend to fully take over your case and let you sleep a lot better at night. 1. She studied the situation in every way and was ready immediately. I never saw her caught off guard or unprepared. Not once. 2. She is reasonable and tough. She knows how to get the job done and win the game, but she is also above the game and in control of the process. 3. Easy to get a long with. She gave me notice of every event and I didn't have to keep track of the case allowing me to focus more on my business and not the money and time distraction the opposition wanted. 4. Joanne gets results. My company was struggling financially, my opposition company had a legal budget of $500,000 each year, and we were able to avoid any judgments against me and my company. In my case with Joanne, this was not luck, she earned this through her methodical approach. 5. Joanne gets at least an A rating. Six of the eight attorneys I have had I would rate a C - to an F according to my realistic expectations. One I would rate a B. Joanne never let me down over our year long case. When the case was over, she mailed me 5 full bankers boxes of files, if that gives you an idea of the scope of this contractual dispute. I would not hesitate in having her represent you or your firm. This is one of the few recommendations I have every written and I am completely happy to try and return the support she gave me and my company. Sincerely, One Happy Client Indianapolis, Indiana Feel free to ask Joanne for my number is you would like to speak with me directly.
