Lisa

Mr. Beal was a good lawyer but definitely behaved strangely. He represented me on a federal case and I couldn’t help but wonder if he was autistic or had some type of personality disorder where he was on the spectrum. Would not reccommend.

M.S.

MR BEAL KIND OF FELL INTO MY LAP. HE CAME INTO MY WORLD WHEN I WAS IN NEED SO SOME PROFESSIONAL GUIDANCE AND ADVICE. MR BEAL IS VERY TRUSTWORTHY AND PUNCTUAL. EXTREMELY KNOWLEDGEABLE AND PROFICIENT IN MANY AREAS. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
