Best in DFW!

Constance is the best! From the very beginning of my case she was dedicated, honest, and professional throughout my entire custody ordeal. She really takes into consideration the best interest of the child and is was highly respected by everyone we encountered during the custody process. I can't ...thank her enough for all of the hard work and the dedication she put toward helping me to win my custody case. I couldn't have done it without her!

Answered prayer!

I have been blessed to have had Constance represent me in my child custody battle for over 2 years now. My situation has been more than complex and frustrating at best but I would not ask for more in an attorney. Constance is who you want on your side and I was so thankful for the way she fought for ...my daughter. She doesn't back down and she fights for her clients! I am so very glad that I have had Constance's representation and have and will continue to recommend her!! Thank you for what you have done because it has literally saved my daughters life!

I would not be as comfortable or have the peace of mind I have now, if it had not been for Constance.

When I started a 6 year journey into a new phase of my life I was scared and unsure of what was happening, what was going to happen, and what was to come. However, Constance and the rest of the Beal Law Firm stepped up and took the control that I needed and could not manage for myself. I never dou...bted her or questioned her direction because I knew that she had my best interest at hand. She fought a very long and sometimes exhausting battle for me and my children. I was always impressed with how much she remembered and kept on hand to fight for me. I could relax and know that no matter what the outcome, we did all we could do. I was confident in that. Now, I have the things that are most important to me. I know they are protected and secure and I owe that to the hard work, care and compassion that Constance never spared where I am concerned. Constance helped me when I needed it most in a way that allowed me to keep my dignigty in one of the most unstable and embarrassing times of my life.

Zero Guidance and Zero Care to Help Client

Constance was a client to a close friend of mine and I have never been so disappointed in a lawyer than Constance, primarily for her complete lack of care and complete disregard to advise her client when this client needed help the most. This close friend began to suffer from substance abuse and pote...ntial mental health issues. Constance ignored all evidence presented in hearings regarding her client. To date, this client has lost custody with their kid and has never been properly guided through Constance's presumed expertise to get treatment and allow this client to properly present self-care actions to the Judge, which should be very obvious steps required to allow this client the chance to have more time with their kid. While Constance lost numerous hearings with this client, she ran up the bill on this client without any guidance to helping this client, when this client clearly needed and deserved thoughtful expertise most. A professional family lawyer would have recommended path forward from a professional lawyer to help them improve their self-care immediately, so that this client would have the ability to improve and ultimately increase time with their child. Constance did nothing to actually help this client.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Constance Mims is, quite simply, one of the best lawyers around. I have never known an attorney that cared more about her clients than Constance does. When you couple this level of concern with the dedication and preparation Constance engages in, the combination provides a client with outstanding representation. I highly recommend and strongly endorse this lawyer."

  • 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.
