Not professional

I hired attorney Beecher for a personal family matter. He was very reassuring, and I'm sure he thought he could help me. He was successful on some of my issues and helped, but he is very unprofessional in how he handles things. His voicemail is always full, so you can't leave a message. He is ve...ry unresponsive and hard to get a hold of. It is hard to meet with him. It took a very long time to just have a letter sent, like many months!. I also do not feel like the billing was right. Everything about how he runs his business is like a kid is doing it.

Excellent Attorney!!!

Mr Beecher is a EXCELLENT Attorney he took on my case after my another Attorney never showed up after the 2nd court date. He fought for me filled in for me, He knows what he's doing, Very good at it got mine dropped from Felony to a Misdemeanor. No problem and his cost is affordable.

Defective and Greedy Lawyer

I hired him and paid him $1,500.00 for a matter that was pending at a Court. FYI: I am the wounded person of the other case that created by several people: Moon, Chan, and Eden Automotive, Inc., etc. The Court Administrator and the Commissioner really had no reason to dismiss my case because it wou...ld not serve in the best interst of justice, peace, and harmony. So, I found Stephen Beecher from one of his former client's ex-husband. I paid a large sum of money to Atty: Beecher to reverse the decision. Beecher totally misrepresent his own skills, knowledge, and abilities to me when I met with him on October 2008. He told me he very experienced in this kind of matter. The truth is he is not!
