I went to Eric several years ago with my case when I had no one to turn to. He was full of knowledge and actually cared about what would happen to me and my family if I didn't get the right representation. To be honest, Eric was and is still charging less than he's actually worth for his years of experience. He is not out for your money. Had it not been for his legal advice, I would not be happily married right now. Thank you, Eric!

An answered prayer! That's what I want to say about this firm. From the moment I walked in I was always greeted warmly and treated with the utmost respect. I have been a client for over 2 years now and I don't plan on using anybody else ever.
I have been blessed enough to have the counsel of Eric Beal, Constance Mims, and Ana Bachmann in a child custody matter. My daughter is healthy, safe, and happy because of the expertise of this group. She is thriving and I can't begin to express how hard they have all worked on my case. Every penny spent has been more than worth it because they have provided a way for me to have the best for my child.
Thank you Beal Law Firm for everything!

Eric, his attorneys, and his staff, all provided the highest level of competent and efficient legal services as they helped guide me through a difficult divorce and accompanying child support issues. I could not recommend his firm any more highly.

Eric was #1 in his Law School Class. That says it all, but there is so much more. I have known Eric for a decade and have seen him in a variety of situations: attorney, husband, dad, friend, business man, CEO, a man of faith who actually lives it, and an officer in the United States Marine Corp. The judge told me, “Eric beat the two most expensive attorneys in the city. He was so impressive.”
Words which describe him are highly ethical, intelligent, hard worker, caring and kind.

Eric was so helpful, knowledgeable and advised us of all the avenues we had in order to fight against our case. He won!!! Eric was easy to talk to. Explained everything to where we understood what was happening and advised us in all areas of our case. He treated us with respect and a caring concern about the issues we were having. One in a million & we were blessed to have him in our corner.

Eric is the ultimate professional. He not only provides input and guidance on the law but uses his counselor title and techniques to aid you in what can only be described as the worst time of your life. His military background connected with mine and we immediately were on the same wavelength. His knowledge is second to none! His ability to cut through the haze/fog that the client is in to get to the heart of the matter is superb. I have NEVER met a more distinguished professional lawyer!

Outstanding bearing in court room. Outstanding tactician. Stayed at least 1 step ahead of opposing counsel. Wargamed all possible scenarios and outcomes. Always open and honest regarding potential outcomes which could be achieved in the courtroom, both positive and negative. Extremely fair in billing, and was well worth the expense. Extremely familiar with the court and the judges and of course the entire process.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
