Melanie E Beauchamp

I hired Ms. Beauchamp to represent my son in a marijuana DUI case in 2015. She was presented all the facts of the case before she accepted it along with a steep down payment. At each opportunity she could, she delayed the case/court dates and then demanded further payment to continue the work. As ...our case became 12 months old and our total bill neared $10K, she said she would consider "capping" the amount yet the bills kept coming and we were no further along on his case. As we approached $15K in payments, she apparently realized that Gilbert Court was not going to accept her proposal for a plea agreement causing her to go to a jury trial and suddenly she dropped us as clients!!! When we requested our complete file for another attorney, we found very poor notes, missing interviews with witnesses, toxicology report with missing pages, etc. In addition, she charged us a premium for the incomplete records! She is unethical and is truly out to make fast money by doing as little as possible. She had no intention of representing my son in a jury trial and when that became evident, she lied to the judge in order to drop our case. I would warn anyone considering her services to RUN as fast as you can away from her office. There are many other reputable and ethical attorneys in Phoenix as Ms. Beauchamp is not one of them. I never should have hired her and regret it to this day.

I hired Melanie to work on a DUI case where I was wrongly refused legal counsel at time of arrest. Basically I paid $6000 for copies of paperwork and a small scene she caused while in court with the judge that just made my situation worse. The only time I heard from her was when she wanted her money.... This was my first experience hiring a lawyer and definitely the worst. I will never refer this law office to anyone. She is highly overpriced and all I got was the run around. She even sent another lawyer who had NO experience in dui's for my sentencing.
