Amazing law firm

I have been through a legal battle to have the parental rights revoked for children’s father. Andrew McAlester has been absolutely amazing in this crazy and tedious process. The judge put us through every single obstacle possible and through it all Andrew kept me informed of what our next step was an...d ensured I stayed protected throughout the process. Andrew is the best lawyer I’ve had going through child custody issues hands down! I was able to completely trust him through this process. I highly recommend Andrew McAlester for any custody issues!

Professional Expert Divorce Lawyer

I can't sing the praises of Beal Law Firm loud enough! They are compassionate, realistic and best of all they know family law like the back of their hand. They always steered me straight and kept my costs down. Every time the other lawyer brought motions they defended me and won through efficient and... thorough research. I am not a fan of lawyers and the litigious turn our society has taken but Eric, Constance and the rest of their team made my experience as painless as it could be and I would recommend them to anyone. They aren't in it to run up your bill; they are there to get you the best outcome. Their honesty and integrity are without reproach. 5 stars!

The absolute best family court lawyers

Tim Alexander with the Beal law firm was extremely knowledgeable, and was on top of the case from day one. If you’re wanting the edge to win a family court case look no further. I highly recommend this firm.

Amazing!!!

The Beal Law Firm exceeded every expectation from the helpful, friendly front desk to the amazing team of lawyers. The entire staff is professional, courteous, and knowledgeable. When a Family Law attorney was needed not only did I look for an attorney who understands the law, but also someone who co...uld provide me with wise counsel, realistic information, and emotional understanding. The Beal Law Firm gave me a peace of mind with confidence that they were handeling my case with my best interest in mind. This law firm is excellent and I would recommend them to any of my family or friends.

The Inside Scoop

Please don’t be offended when I say this b/c I’m only trying to help those of you who I’m sure are going through a difficult time. I am client of The Beal Law Firm and a business law attorney. As an attorney, I feel I’m uniquely qualified to say who’s good verses who just looks good. With attorneys ...perception rarely line up with reality. So, here’s my take. More often than not, Eric is the smartest guy in the room. He’s always the nicest guy in the room. There are many many lawyers in the family law field, and I would “bet the farm” that he is better than all of them. I am not aware of an attorney in any specialty (include yours truly) that can match his talent, empathy, compassion and common courtesy. Because your case will matter so much to you, you need someone you can trust, someone who you like and, of course, someone who’s really good. His advice will be sound, sensible and pragmatic. His knowledge of family law will make your opponent’s head spin. I sincerely hope this review leads someone who needs a good lawyer to hire The Beal Law Firm. I’m not smart enough to write a higher recommendation.

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."
