Divorce Representation

I have known Eric as a colleague and friend for more than 20 years. I had no idea that I would personally need to avail myself of his family law expertise, but in the middle of 2013, I did. As tough as it was to 1) work through the dissolution of a marriage of 20+ years and 2) how to limit the colla...teral damage to the three wonderful kids of that marriage, Eric and his entire staff were there with knowledge and professional representation every step of the way. The end result was that the divorce was finalized on December 31, 2013, and I am now able to move forward. I have referred a number of clients to Eric over the years and prior to my divorce. Following my own divorce, I am all the more happy and confident to recommend the services of Eric, the attorneys in his office, and his staff.

Recommended Divorce Attorney

Eric Beal and his associates provided timely, highly professional service in my case. I appreciated the clear communication throughout my divorce and highly recommend him.

Excellent Divorce Lawyer

I was fortunate to select Eric Beal as my attorney during a recent divorce. Eric brings many years of experience and and a superb knowledge of the law and, perhaps more importantly, the local legal landscape to bear in his representation. He is an adept listener and gathers all the facts before layi...ng out options. His guidance was always clear and concise, and grounded in common sense. He provided me a sense of confidence that any decision I made was prudent and logical....and would serve my best long term interests. I highly recommend Eric as someone to represent you if you are in need of Family Law advice.

Eric Beal is a breath of fresh air in a Shakespearean world of "The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers."

I have known Eric for six years, first as my lawyer, now as a friend. He was number one in his law school class. I was given his name by a judge I know which in and of itself speaks volumes! During my case, Eric constantly kept me informed, pointed out pros and cons of decisions, and described via... classroom education and experiential learning the various directions one might go in the case. Eric is very available to his clients and returns calls promptly. Even when I dropped by unannounced, Eric would always say hi if he were on site. And if he were in court, his staff was most welcoming and knowledgable. With regularity, they made me feel like I was their most important case. This is not merely a profession for Eric and his associates, it is a vocation. He is a Believer and it shows in the extrarordinary ethics and morality he puts into practice on a daily basis. I happily give Eric and the attorneys and staff in his practice the very highest recommendation!

Beal Law Firm Review

Eric, and all of the members of his firm, displayed outstanding service that was second to none in regards to my case. He and his staff communicated effectively and consistantly with me, and were always readily available for questions or concerns. There was no doubt in my mind that he put forth maxim...um effort and concern into my case to ensure a favorable ruling. The excellent service and personal care that I recieved from the Beal Law Firm, that continued even after the case was closed, left me and my family feeling as if we have a professional friend and confidant should the need for his services ever arise again.

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."

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."
