Brian Beckwith’s unwavering dedication to the needs of his clients is unmatched. I first engaged Mr. Beckwith’s services in mid-2018 for a consultation to review a complex appellate issue.

Brian has handled a few appellate matters for me. In all cases Brian has shown substantial general legal knowledge and experience and was readily able to conduct further research related to the specifics of my case; he had no problem finding the “on-point” case-law for my situation.

Brian is an excellent attorney. He listens to your situation and advises you of your best options. I have used the services of The Law Office Beckwith and found Brian to be very informative and competent.

Brian has successfully appealed two family law decisions made in the California Superior Court for me resulting in money returned to me well in excess of fees paid for the appeals. If you feel that you have a valid appeal, consult with this attorney.

"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Mr. Beckwith for over 30 years to be a highly competent and ethical practitioner. I have worked on cases with Mr. Beckwith and saw his advice on legal matters many times over the years. I have discussed many of the appellate cases that is handled and know him to be extremely diligent and well prepared"
"I endorse this lawyer. A few years ago, I opposed Mr. Beckwith in a high-conflict family law case involving multiple layers of complex legal issues. Mr. Beckwith is a seasoned and highly-respected advocate who represented his client in our court proceedings with great skill. In the end, thanks in large measure to this sound judgment and practical approach, the case settled in its entirety to the considerable benefit to both clients. Since then, he I have conferred informally on other cases. In those conversations, his opinions are consistently well measured against the facts and law of each case. I can recommend with confidence Mr. Beckwith's service as trial counsel, appellate counsel or consulting counsel in mediated cases."
"I endorse Brian Beckwith based on over twenty years of experience working with him or otherwise observing him earnestly handle appeal, civil rights, family law and estate matters."
"Brian is a highly-skilled appellate attorney, who is not afraid to take challenging cases. His expertise, attention to detail, experience, and friendly personality make him great at what he does. I recommend Brian to anyone who needs an excellent appellate lawyer familiar with both California and Oregon laws."
