Over Priced - bills in 5 minute increments

When first dealing with Brenda I was extremely impressed, that faded very quickly as her once promising outlook on my case faded when she was pressed by opposing council. In the end she did nothing for me and I was charged $25 for every email correspondence. I am not prone to writing reviews, but f...eel compelled based on my experience.

Divorce

Brenda represented me in a domestic violence divorce case. Her fees were reasonable and her knowledge of the law was impressive. I can not say enough about how well she handled my case. I owe her a great deal of gratitude for her work.

bloodsucking troll

Brenda will put you totally at ease during your first consultation. Act like she cares, acts like a marriage counselor, tell all these wonderful stories about past cases and how somebody's spouse entered the home and stole a painting. Whatever she can do to burn time on the clock. Of course she ba...ck peddled around the initial consult fee and hands you a 250 hr. bill with a smile on her face after screwing you. What a complete waste if my time and resources. If you have no attachment to your money and enjoy getting hosed by a lawyer not ethical enough to bill accordingly then Brenda is your girl.

EXCELLENT ATTORNEY

My husband and I hired Attorney Brenda Beaton for the adoption of our grandson after attending a court hearing of a close friend of us going through a very difficult divorce which was successfully terminated in favor of our friend. We are very impressed with Brenda's job in court, efficiently handle...d our case in a timely manner in a very supportive way, we always felt understood by her. Brenda has the ability to anticipate what needs to be done, she is very well prepared in the court hearings seemingly knowing exactly what the judge wanted. We are very thankful to Brenda for her excellent work she has performed in every step of the way in the adoption process with favorable results in all the court hearing we had. We will highly recommend Brenda to others, she is a great attorney, efficient and understanding and ready available when we need it to talk to her.

Simply the Best

I hired Brenda for a divorce. Being female and a victim of domestic violence, I felt the legal system to be intimidating. Brenda changed all that. She helped me get control of my legal matters and took a personal entrust in making sure I knew exactly what was occurring, and was the best course of ...action to take. There are few words that can describe what she had done for me and my children. I am forever in her debt, not only for her kindness, but also her legal expertise. She is simply the best. I would recommend her to anyone needing a family or criminal attorney.
