Highly Recommend

Going through a divorce is the last thing I wish upon anyone, but if you find yourself in that situation (like I did) then you need an attorney that will aggressively and effectively represent you. David and his staff not only met but exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend Mr. Beavans.

FANTASTIC LAWYER

David Beavins is fantastic! He made my divorce so easy and stressless for me. He is sensitive,kind and very caring. I don't know how I would have made it through this difficult time without him. He explained everything in detail every step of the way. He is very patient and took the time to... make sure I understood each and every part of the divorce process. I recommend him highly to any one needing a divorce attorney.

AWESOME LAWYER!!!!!!!!!!

David Beavans has been AMAZING! I went through a terrible divorce and he helped me through it one step at a time so it was not overwhelming. His prices and billing are very reasonable. I came out on top in my divorce and only spent half the amount of money that my ex-wife paid her lawyer. If you are ...in the Military as I am, this is the place to go. I have refered 3 people there since my divorce and they really like him as well. I interviewed about 20 different lawyers and it took a lot of time but I ended up in the right place. Thanks David!

Dave Beavans, custody/ support/ divorce

Dave Beavans recently guided me and helped me win primary custody of my son. I heard about Dave from a fellow marine. From the very first meeting we had, Dave understood that I didn't have the ability to pay him up front but he was willing to work with out a payment plan that worked for both of us. H...e was available at any time to answer any question that I had and if he didn't know the answer, he promptly found the answer and quickly responded. My case was from one extreme to the next and we continuously received curve balls from my ex, Dave was upfront and honest about the different routes we could take in order to deal with each and every occasion as far as to even tell me which route was the least inexpensive. Mr. Beavans also prepared me for mediation (how to dress, how to number my concerns from important to least important). I have given his number out to every marine that I know who is going through a divorce or child custody dispute in California. As long as Dave is in the business, I will never step into a court room without him.

"I had the pleasure of opposing David on a family law case and found him to be an excellent advocate both for his client and for the child involved in the case.
