Very disappointed

Lexie, one of his assistants is absolutely hopeless. Do not expect her to help in your case. Don't expect help from her with how the law works or what are the best tactics to take in your divorce or what you might be forgetting or what would be helpful to you. If you are a lawyer yourself then they w...ill be great for typing up your motions etc., but if not, you will be on your own. Expected to know the law and what you ahould and shouldn't be doing. Lexie also sends reems of useless paperwork to opposing lawyers for their client to fill out and then does absolutely nothing with this information other than tick off the other side. If you are a normal person they will not be helpful or proactive with your case. Bevan meets with you only minutes before your hearings, doesn't remember or seem to take your situation seriously. I basically did all of the work myself and Bevan, along with Lexie, forgot or failed to address very important issues in the case. They are a very "after the fact" firm. I did manage to come out of it ok, only because I ended up doing a lot of research on my own, but that can only help so much. I am not a Lawyer, so I missed a lot of things that should have been a no brainer had the firm been helping the way you expect them to. I really believe things could have been much better and less stressful if they were much more proactive, had a game plan already laid out for their clients so that everything was covered and helped their clients BEFORE court and before issues were out of hand. They assume you know what should be done. They don't lead you through the process with all of the bases covered. And they allow you to waste valuable time and money on things that don't matter or won't even be discussed in court. They seem to be flying by the seat of their pants at every turn. Very disappointing considering they came highly recommended.

Family lawyer | Apr 04

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I had a client come to me after using Bevan on a domestic violence case that turned into a full blown divorce and custody battle. Bevan was very cooperative in helping me "get up to speed". In my work I drafted an appeal of the decision of the Commissioner before whom Bevan had argued previously. I listened to his arguments to this Commissioner. I found him to be calm and commanding, erudite and firm in his advocacy, even when the Commissioner was ruling against him and his client. I recommend him highly."
