Jonathan Drake Steele

I hired, Jonathan Steele, to represent me in a domestic violence case, and I am more than grateful for his exceptional work and support. My case was quite difficult, as it involved personal and business matters intertwined, multiple forms of abuse, and custody for my dog. Mr. Steele’s experience, co...mpassion, and guidance, ultimately got me through the most difficult and confusing time of my life. From the beginning, to the very end, he kept me informed, advised, and overall prepared for every step in my case. Most gratefully, he lead and represented me to the end, in which I was granted my protective order, and (I’m most thankful for) was finally granted full custody of my dog, who’d been taken from me, before we began this legal process. Whatever the case is, I’m more than confident, there is absolutely no better representation, other than Jonathan Steele. Thank you endlessly for your support, and for all you have done throughout my case!!!

I retained Jonathan Steele and his firm, Beermann LLP, for nearly 12 years and paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for representation in a high-conflict family law case. In 2025, I was forced to change counsel after discovering—on my own—that Beermann was involved in a federal lawsuit where my judg...e was a named defendant. The lawsuit was repeatedly referenced by the opposing party, who even quoted Mr. Steele as saying, “We’ve got (our current judge)", implying improper influence.” Despite this lawsuit actively undermining my case, Mr. Steele never disclosed it or advised me of the clear conflict of interest. He continued billing me for work affected by it and failed in his ethical duty of transparency. When I respectfully transitioned to new counsel, he ignored all efforts to resolve my final bill—including requests for a payment plan and reference to a discount he had previously agreed to via text. Then he appeared in court to file a fee petition, knowing I had been actively trying to settle. Jonathan’s actions felt retaliatory and showed a complete lack of integrity. I strongly advise others to seek counsel elsewhere.

I wish I had discovered Jonathan/Beermann Law during my divorce proceedings. He is kind, caring, thoughtful, and an exceptional attorney. He resolved a long-standing post-divorce issue for me quickly and professionally. I recommend him highly for his expertise, compassion, and diligence. Hopefully, I... will never need a lawyer again, but if I do, I will contact him for guidance or a referral.

I cannot thank Jonathan D. Steele enough for the outstanding legal support he provided during my divorce. From the moment I reached out to him, I knew I was in capable hands. Jonathan’s expertise in family law is unparalleled, but what truly sets him apart is his unique combination of legal acumen an...d cutting-edge cybersecurity knowledge. When I first hired Jonathan, I was dealing with a high-conflict divorce where both my financial well-being and personal safety were at risk. Not only did Jonathan skillfully navigate the complexities of the divorce process, but he also detected something I hadn’t even suspected—my spouse was secretly surveilling me. Thanks to Jonathan’s keen technical expertise, he identified this violation and immediately took steps to protect both my privacy and that of my daughter. His guidance was invaluable throughout the entire process. Jonathan didn’t just handle the legal side; he went above and beyond to ensure that my digital and personal security were safeguarded. He walked me through essential steps to protect my devices, accounts, and data, which provided me with peace of mind during a time of extreme uncertainty. His advice was practical, easy to follow, and made me feel empowered to take control of my situation. Jonathan's approach was holistic—he understood that my legal challenges weren’t just about the law, but also about protecting my family and my future. He provided clear, honest communication at every step, and his calm, strategic demeanor in court helped me feel confident that I was being represented by someone who truly had my best interests at heart. What also impressed me about Jonathan is his comprehensive knowledge of the law, paired with his technical certifications in cybersecurity. He’s not just an expert in family law, but also in understanding the evolving digital threats that can affect individuals in complex divorce proceedings. This rare blend of skills gave me an edge in a very challenging situation and ultimately led to the best possible outcome. If you’re facing a complex divorce or need an attorney who truly understands the intersection of family law and technology, Jonathan Steele is the one you want by your side. I’m incredibly grateful for his dedication, expertise, and the security he provided during one of the most difficult times of my life. Thank you, Jonathan, for everything!
