30 YEARS EXPERIENCE DOES NOT ALWAYS MEAN THEY ARE KNOWLEDGEABLE!

So here is my experience, just the facts. First consultation with my mom, first red flag her office is a 9x10 room where she rents from a firm that rents room offices out. This picture is not her office. When we met with her we provided her with professional copied originals she took them. Never as...ked the front office to make a copy of the paperwork we gave her. (our mistake, we should of not got so caught up in talking that we did not take notice till after we left thinking we could trust her in taking care of them) Anyway, we came with specific questions to see how knowledgeable she was in a somewhat complicated situation. She had us convinced 3 hours later after her responses that she was going to be the right attorney ( 45 min total talking with us was about other cases and her family it was in increments). Well she did not spend the time in telling us the process of what she was going to do first in filing or work on or even time frame. (1st $5,000 retainer) I made another appt with Mrs. Beyers a week later after our 1st consult. I needed to know what was the process of what she was going to do write etc... So I asked her via email if we could regroup for another meeting with my mom 2nd red flag When we met again with Mrs. Beyer she tells me "I am almost finished with the RFOs" I would need another $5,000. It did not dawn on me till I got home that this second consult did not settle right another 3 hr later consult, now a 40min talk about her personal family and pets etc.. in increment totals and other cases of which we got charged for the hours both times. Anyway, I realized did I just give her $5,000 without being given an invoice for work already done I was not even explained what progress my case was already at my mom is a witness to this. Anyway, I texted, emailed, and called spoke to her husband I believe with the urgency in my voice I left her a message with for Mrs. Beyers not to do anything else on my case to please call me. When she finally called 7 hours later that late evening. I explained to her my apprehension she told me I would get an invoice in the morning. I received an invoice the next day Saturday afternoon after 1:30 along with other paperwork she went ahead and completed so that she could justify the charges she was about to try and charge me after I just released her as my attorney. I guess she thought I was not smart enough to figure out what she was doing. So now I am to believe that she had been a busy bee for a week doing all the other filings other than the RFO that she was telling me she was almost done with when she asked for the extra $5,000. The paperwork that she even sent me did not even have words that I said and these documents are supposed to be submitted on my behalf to the court?? What ever happened to the Oath I swore to? Is she now going to try and charge me for revisions once I point it to her attention. It is not right? I should of checked her reviews with yelp 2.5 stars and other websites. I asked Mrs. Beyers when I could pick up our original paperwork. Mrs. Beyers emailed me I could pick up the docs in two days. Well because I did not stand there with her and open up the sealed envelope she gave me and just thanked her and left, I did not notice that she purposely sent copies of professional copies that were given to her. Her copies were out of order upside down. Its obvious it was intentional. Now I am still having problems with getting her to give me all the paperwork back of our originals. Mrs. Beyers claims she gave it all but my mom and I know she did not they are crucial to our case and I am in the process of going through the State Bar for Assistance but I have to fill out paperwork. I believe she was unprofessional that she had done things in this manner because I released her as my representation. If there is anything that is important here. Do your research on the attorney before you make the mistake I did.

Do not hire

Teresa seemed great during the initial consultation. As soon as she had my money it was a different story. She did not honor her initial fee agreement and I ended up abandoned and out my initial money. Communication was poor and the little work she did produce I found to be filled with mistakes. I... will be filing a complaint and heading to small claims court.

Aggressive and Knowledgeable

Divorce is without a doubt one of the most stressful and anxiety driven situations that can happen in your life. And let's face it most people don't know how to navigate the legal system and even if they do they don’t have the ability to offensively negotiate with the other party. We retain l...awyers so that we will have the peace of mind that comes with having someone on our side to achieve the best outcome possible. The Law Offices of Teresa Beyers helped to put my mind at ease from the very first moment I consulted with them. What set them apart and the reason why I chose their services is that Teresa took the time to clearly explain the range of outcomes and provided me with the right steps to successfully navigate and get the best outcome. My advice to anyone is to get on top of your situation immediately. I highly recommend the Law Offices of Teresa Beyers as they are aggressive, knowledgeable and can get you the best possible outcome in your Divorce.

Excellent Attorney

Teresa Beyers may well be the best divorce attorney in Los Angeles! Ms. Beyers brings some exceptional qualities to her work that one doesn't often find in an attorney, having previous had a successful career in the aerospace industry and raising four children of her own before her own life experienc...e led her to help others going through divorce. Teresa is responsive and sensitive to her clients' needs, yet skillful and highly effective as a legal advocate. Teresa is a dynamic communicator and someone I would trust to take good care of people close to me, I give Teresa Beyers my highest recommendation.

Excellent

I had what I thought was a divorce that was never going to end. I was in and out of court and was an emotional wreck. I went to the Law Offices of Teresa Beyers as a last resort. Her staff calmed and reassured me that there would be an end and Teresa explained our strategy for bringing closure so ...that I could go forward with my life. The divorce had lingered for 3 years but Teresa had my divorce completed within 2 months from the day I entered her office. I would highly recommend her if you are going thru the misfortune of a divorce.
