Neil Todd Beyer

Neil did a custody case for me 3 years ago. I thought he was great then, but he's been just as useful to me lately with questions concerning that case and another family law issue. What I like best about Neil is he will tell it to you straight. It might not be what you want to hear, and it might not ...be what you thought was true, but he really knows the law (and the judges! :-) and he's not afraid to tell it like it is, even if it can be upsetting to hear. I think he's ethical, decent and fairly aggressive. He charges about the same as most well respected lawyers, and is pretty responsive for someone so busy. He saw things in our case 3 years ago that he warned me about, and sure enough, they have come to pass. Will be working with him again, no doubt.

I hired Neil for a period of approximately 9 months for my divorce a number of years ago. It seems that "honest assessment and passionate advocacy" per his current 2020 website claim means paying to hear Neil bloviate and prattle, much about himself and his other cases. At one point, advice was give...n on my ability to move out of my marital home with my children that I know could have only come from a lawyer, yet when I repeated his advice back to him he indicated he never said such a thing and that I was lying. But under no circumstances could I invent such advice because I’m not that creative nor familiar with legal terms/procedures. He is also long-winded then gleefully charges for the time while he is the one prolonging the conversation with his varied commentary. Due to a supposed conflict of interest, he stepped down from my case and I had to hire another lawyer to finish my divorce case. The change of representation reiterated that this was not a good fit.
