Child Custody

Mr. Biely is very knowledgeable about the law, court system, process, and the players (judges/lawyers). The goal was joint 50/50 custody, and Mr. Biely fought very hard in an extremely difficult case that took almost 3 years to resolve. The end result was just positive; joint 50/50 custody. Throug...hout the case, Mr. Biely and his staff took us step by step, clearly explained what was going on, and showed true compassion for our family. He and his staff were always composed and professional during some extremely difficult times. I am very grateful and wholeheartedly recommend his firm.

Great ending!

I contacted Mr. Biely about 3 years ago and hired him to take on my case. He was very helpful and created 3 realistic goals for me. I live in Washington state so he was the one that had to be at the court for me and he handled it very nicely. He was informative every step of the way and at this date ...he accomplished ALL 3 goals and my case is over! 3 years was nothing compared to what it could have been. Thank you Mr. Biely!

Highly recommend

Mr. Biely assisted me during my child custody and my move to a different county with my children. The case took a lot of team work from both of us. During the court hearing he was clear and precise. I'm very satisfied with his communication and legal advice. If you want an attorney that would fight... for you Mr. Biely is who you are looking for.

Family Law Court Case

I was intimidated by my court proceeding. I felt that I knew what was right but I did not know what to do or say. Mr. Biely, took control of the process on my behalf. He gave me clear advice and in the court he was calm and knew the law. I am grateful that I had Mr. Biely to represent me.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
