Do Not Waste Time

Horrible attitude. I would recommend choosing your attorney wisely. Do a few consultations and do not settle for burnt out crabby lawyers. Make sure they listen to you and work for you. I found another attorney and it was like a weight being lifted immediately. Some attorneys do care, do have people ...skills and enjoy practicing law. Beck is no longer one of them.

Greedy and Heartless

She dropped me near the end of my case and demanded payment at the end. I tried to negotiate the amount owed, bug she would not budge. She was completely heartless and cold. I would not recommend.

Exceptionally Strong

Christelle Beck represented me for a child custody and child support case. She was phenomenal and the opposing counsel didnt stand a chance. She was organized, prepared and ready for the fight. I went from barely seeing my children and having to pay child support to getting nearly full custody, and r...eceiving child support. She also obtain back child support and parenting time that was stolen from me by the other parent. Ms. Beck is amazing and I offer my fully confident recommendation of her.

Less than 1 Star isn’t possible

I too had Christelle Beck represent me in my child support case. This woman is a complete idiot. She dragged my case on for years, alleviating me of $70,000. This was a simple child support case that a later attorney settled for me for under 10k when she resigned from my case. The judge called he...r to her bench without microphones on and when she walked back she started packing up her papers and stuffed them in her briefcase and hustled out of the courtroom. I seriously question the “Super Lawyers” panel for giving her this title of Super Lawyer” she is a fraud... she is weak... she is only there to take her clients money. If you hire her, this will happen to you as well. I speak from experience as she ruined me financially. These reviews on here about how great she is, are fake. This woman is a complete joke. I watched her lunch get eaten for her by opposing counsel. She got embarrassed over and over. It was sad to watch as she was confused and lost in the process. Do not hire this incompetent excuse for a lawyer.

Exemplary work on my child support case

Christelle handled my child support case and opposed a renowned Colorado "Super Lawyer". I actually feared my ex's attorney until Christelle took the reins. In the process she won the case with flying colors, and in an expedited fashion. She really exceeded my expectations. I would, and do, recomme...nd her to everyone who needs a fabulous family law attorney!
