Gary Jay Beeler

I am involved in a complex conservatorship litigation that requires some guidance in the area of family laws. I spoke and worked with so many attorneys. I was so fortunate to have found Gary. He was honest and genuine. He was able to point me to the right direction where other attorneys were only mak...ing matters more complicated and did not have the client's best interest at heart. I would highly recommend this Gary. He has earned the highest honor out of all of the attorneys I worked with. Out of 5 stars, I would give him 10.

I hired Mr. Beeler after my first attorney charged me $3000.00 upfront and told me i could expect temporary support of $2460.00 per month. Then, just before my court date he called saying i had used up my retainer and would need to replenish it before he could appear in court for the filing of my OS...C. No OSC means no spousal support. I was totally broke!!! For over a year I scraped by, dealing with no money at all from my soon to be ex husband until finally i managed to afford another one. Mr. Beeler, who is a horrible thief of an attorney, was actually referred as part of the "Modest Means" program. Through the Orange County Bar Association, residents of Orange County who are unable to afford legal assistance and who meet specific income guidelines are screened by a LRIS Representative and then if qualified are directed to attorneys who agree to assist them at substantially reduced rates. Well, after my screening they sent me to Mr. Beeler. When we had our consultation I explained to him that I needed support from my husband and he assured me that all would be taken care of. Instead of demanding a $2000 - $3000 retainer up front though he was willing to take "whatever i could afford". Before i knew it, I was paying him all I could. Apparently the $2900.00 I paid him just wasn't sufficient from me, because 2 days before my big court day he quit for non payment. Just like that. I had a bill outstanding for $400.00 and I had no more money so he quit! I had to show up to court "in pro per" which means I was my own attorney. It was the worst day of my life. i was so nervous about being in court with no attorney and i completely lost focus. My husband's attorney suggested we sit in the cafeteria and try to come to an agreement BEFORE we went before the judge. He said its better if we agree so the judge doesn't have to make the choices because anything could happen then! BIG MISTAKE! They had me so worried about losing custody of my daughter, which was actually just a game they played because I didn't know any better! It was horrible! I actually left that day feeling pretty good because I managed to get half custody (primary physical custody) of my daughter and 1 year of spousal support. It wasn't until later that evening i realized i had forgotten all about the $50,000.00 we had in the bank that i was entitled to half of as well as back child/spousal support! I filed for divorce in Sept. 2006 and finally went to court in June of 2008. That's about $50,000.00! Add that to my half of the $50,000 in the bank... I should have been awarded $75,000.00 that day. Thanks Mr. Beeler! I never did recover from all that happened that day... Please think twice before hiring an attorney and putting your whole life in the hands of someone who's only doing it for the money... because if you make the wrong choice it could cost you everything in the end...

I have endured almost 14 years of divorce, custody and related hassles with my two ex-wives. And I have three great kids for which I am very thankful. When I came to OC from Los Angeles, I met and hired Gary Beeler. I found his aproach refreshing, open, honest and with a distinct attitude designed... to cut through all the typical lawyer games and posturing. I cannot say enough good things about how Gary Beeler comports himself in his office, in the courtroom and with his own family members. I strongly recommend that any person looking for legal representation have a consultation with Mr. Beeler so you can recognize what a refreshing approach he takes to a most unpleasant task. Like I said, Gary Beeler is The Best of The best.
