Child Support Assistance

Eric and his team are the best there is... I had an issue relating to child support that I needed clarification about, and Eric went above and beyond to insure my question got answered and offered full support to insure it was resolved correctly afterwards. I can't recommend Eric and his team highl...y enough for the way that they CARE. Thank you!

Child Support

I highly recommend the Beal Law firm! Mr. Hight kept me informed regularly and was very knowledgeable in area where I needed assistance. The Beal Law Firm also provides a platform that’s transparent where you can view details of your situation at your leisure. Thanks Robert Hight for assisting me!!

Outstanding divorce lawyer

I came to Mr. Beal in a time of need. I explained my situation and that I was in trouble . I had been married for over 20 years and it was going to be nasty. He and his team went to work. The team and Mr. Beal explained things and stayed ahead of every counter offer. It was a real mess. Went there wa...s false information passed to the government, they stepped in, took care of the situation and save me several thousand dollar. Mr. Beal and the team kept me informed all the way through the process. Nobody likes going through a divorce, but when you are down and out, it is great to have someone in your corner. It's not about the money, it's the peace of mind that you will be taken care of along the way and be represented by a strong and caring team.

Was referred....Sooooo Glad I was.

I was referred to Mr Bill by close friend of mine, and from the very first meeting he made me feel so comfortable with such an unfortunate situation. I would gladly refer him to anybody that would need those services.

Child custody lawyer | Feb 05

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I have referred many clients to Eric over the last two decades, and they've all raved about what an amazing lawyer Eric is. Aggressive, honest, brilliant, driven, tough, those aren't my words; I hear these words time and again from Eric's clients…and occasionally from a few opposing lawyers he's gone up against. I wholeheartedly endorse Eric Beal."

Divorce and separation lawyer | Jan 26

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I strongly endorse this lawyer. Eric is an outstanding trial advocate, but he also knows that some cases are better off being settled. Being able to handle a case as a Collaborative Law case or as a litigated case gives him the ability to choose the best path for his client. Eric is very experienced and ethical and works effectively for his clients."

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.
