Beverly Lerch Nored

Bev will advise you in a compassionate and firm manner. Bev handled my case until opposing counsel 'billed' me into financial ruin in an effort to Win without concern for children. Bev always recommended we meet hostility with dignity and grace, stressing the high road will be harder now, but in th...e end, less difficult to heal from and move on. Bev will make certain the kids in your case are not pawns of leverage, at the same time, Bev will not sacrifice your parental role to avoid response to a conflict brought by the other side. There are lawyers out there who will bully and bluster.. and they may be more to your real-time emotional satisfaction. If you want the healthy long term closure that comes with knowing you didn't get down in the mud because you selected an attorney who would not allow herself or you to do so, Bev is an excellent choice!

She is a very knowledgeable and empathetic lawyer. My divorce was emotional and highly personal process and I felt comfortable to share with her some of the personal details of my life. She patiently answered my questions and guided me through it. She understood my position that my child needs must g...o first, and worked toward the mediation outcomes which were in favor of the child’s wellbeing after the divorce. She definitely had solid understanding of my complex financial issues. It was also helpful to know that she shared and supported my attitude toward the divorce and my desire to finish the difficult process as soon as possible. I highly recommend her for competent and personal representation.

Bev stepped into a complicated divorce just one month before trial and did an amazing job. She was skilled, insightful, patient and doggedly hard-working. She went the extra mile to make sure we had the best possible legal representation under the circumstances. On top of that, she is a kind and comp...assionate person, a definite necessity in our case with all the emotional upheaval and distress. She kept us rational and reasonable under pressure. Thank you Bev! Great job.

Beverly was instrumental in getting me through my divorce with my sanity in tact. Beverly took over my divorce case in the 11th hour, after my first attorney withdrew from my case less than two months from the date we were due in court for the final review. His reason was due to my non-ability t...o pay his bill. While I had felt, he had mismanaging my case. First, his office filled out all documents for Pierce County courts. This after I had asked if he could do a case in King County and had asked that questions many times before, during and after I hired him. I lived in King County as well as my spouse; I wanted my Legal Separation filed in King County. I fell he did not keep me well informed. He missed court dates. He did not ask enough questions in the discovery stage nor request a list of all assets, as well as not filing required documents with the court when needed. Over the eight months, it turned into a Divorce case. Once I had hired Beverly Nored, Beverly was able to sort out the most important aspects of my Divorce in short order (THREE MONTHS); she was able to understand me even in my overly charged emotional state. (I did not want to be divorced). Beverly was able to keep both sides balanced, the other attorney on track and focused. She was able to keep costs to a minimum. As well as being as fair as she could within a very short time, she had the case to work on. Once the case was in her hands, she has an agreement that I could live with in place and the divorce is now final. I believe the outcome would only been better had Beverly Nored been my attorney from the very beginning. I have already recommended Beverly to others who are in a position of thinking of Legal Separation or Divorce.
