I hired Mr. Beeler after my first attorney charged me $3000.00 upfront and told me i could expect temporary support of $2460.00 per month. Then, just before my court date he called saying i had used up my retainer and would need to replenish it before he could appear in court for the filing of my OSC. No OSC means no spousal support. I was totally broke!!! For over a year I scraped by, dealing with no money at all from my soon to be ex husband until finally i managed to afford another one. Mr. Beeler, who is a horrible thief of an attorney, was actually referred as part of the "Modest Means" program. Through the Orange County Bar Association, residents of Orange County who are unable to afford legal assistance and who meet specific income guidelines are screened by a LRIS Representative and then if qualified are directed to attorneys who agree to assist them at substantially reduced rates. Well, after my screening they sent me to Mr. Beeler. When we had our consultation I explained to him that I needed support from my husband and he assured me that all would be taken care of. Instead of demanding a $2000 - $3000 retainer up front though he was willing to take "whatever i could afford". Before i knew it, I was paying him all I could. Apparently the $2900.00 I paid him just wasn't sufficient from me, because 2 days before my big court day he quit for non payment. Just like that. I had a bill outstanding for $400.00 and I had no more money so he quit! I had to show up to court "in pro per" which means I was my own attorney. It was the worst day of my life. i was so nervous about being in court with no attorney and i completely lost focus. My husband's attorney suggested we sit in the cafeteria and try to come to an agreement BEFORE we went before the judge. He said its better if we agree so the judge doesn't have to make the choices because anything could happen then! BIG MISTAKE! They had me so worried about losing custody of my daughter, which was actually just a game they played because I didn't know any better! It was horrible! I actually left that day feeling pretty good because I managed to get half custody (primary physical custody) of my daughter and 1 year of spousal support. It wasn't until later that evening i realized i had forgotten all about the $50,000.00 we had in the bank that i was entitled to half of as well as back child/spousal support! I filed for divorce in Sept. 2006 and finally went to court in June of 2008. That's about $50,000.00! Add that to my half of the $50,000 in the bank... I should have been awarded $75,000.00 that day. Thanks Mr. Beeler! I never did recover from all that happened that day... Please think twice before hiring an attorney and putting your whole life in the hands of someone who's only doing it for the money... because if you make the wrong choice it could cost you everything in the end...

Gary Beeler handled my divorce with the utmost professionalism. He walked me through every step of the process. This was the hardest thing I ever had to do and Gary was right there with me. At times I felt like I was his only client. He was always available when I had any questions. I highly recommend Gary Beeler.

Gary was amazing in handling my custody case. He worked not only for me but for the best interest of my daughter. He was able to prove the judge wrong a couple of times and get what we knew was right. I highly recommend him to take on your case. He will fight for his clients and get them what they want/need!

Hiring Mr. Beeler who took over my Divorce after my first Attorney got paid and didn’t care about what was in my best interest she just wanted it done and over with. Mr. Beeler saw that my ex was keeping assets from me, he did a great job sorting out what was messed up by my first Attorney and I came out better than expected. Thank you Mr. Beeler for looking out for my best interest. I had my day in court, couldn’t of done it without you and your team. Thank you

Gary Beeler was wonderful to me and my girls. He didn’t “sell” me anything. He gave me everything straight-up. I honestly was hoping to use one attorney for my divorce, but given my ex-husband’s personality (being cheap and mean), it became necessary to obtain an attorney that would fight for me every step of the way. My ex-husband knew I would file for divorce at some point and therefore, had a plan to quit his job (saying that he “retired”) after I announced I wanted a divorce so that I would have to pay him spousal support. Didn’t work!!! Obtained all of my ex’s performance reviews at his last job; which indicated no evidence his job was threatened. Gary saw right threw him and knew a judge would too! My ex also tried to get Right-Of-First-Refusal to parent my girls on my time. Nope…denied! No court! He doesn’t need a fancy, swanky office. Fees are not crazy. He’s a no-frills kind of guy and won’t put up with anything. He’s your man! Thank you Gary and Carolyn!!! Janice S.

Hired Gary to handle my case. He sounded good on the phone consultation but after I paid him he did nothing for my case put push paper work. When I tried to get updates on my case the only person I would get a hold of was his secretary. She does not know the law and would never get back to me on the key the key issues of the case. When Gary did go to court all he did was extend my case costing more money. I would look elsewhere.

I was so thankful that I found Gary to help me with my complicated divorce!! I own my own business and my wife's attorney was burying me in paperwork before I found Gary. Because he is a former CPA, he knew exactly what documents I needed to produce for the complicated discovery requirements that Opposing Counsel was demanding. During the trial, It was extremely helpful that he had so much experience and had been in front of our judge many times. The outcome was just as he predicted. Call GARY BEELER if you need a GREAT attorney!

Gary was so helpful with my sons child custody case. He knew exactly what would matter and what wouldn't. He got my son even more than we had hoped for. I strongly recommend Gary Beeler for all of your family law needs.

Gary worked with me during a difficult divorce, I was in Iraq during my divorce and Gary and team worked with me at odd hours to help with my divorce. Gary is not only a lawyer to me I view him as a friend. Gary Thank you for all of the hard work you put in working with me.

I had quite the journey with my legal case. A complicated situation involving multiple lawyers and states. Gary shared his vision and strategy for the case confidently and triumphantly leading us through it. His knowledge and experience is vast expanding beyond just the normal legal practice. Further at any point, I could call Gary or Carolyn to explain legal terms/situations or just vent my frustrations. I truly felt they take care of their clients like their own. The practice does not have fancy bells and whistles- just great advice and counsel!

during one of the most challenging times in my life i came to Gary for help. I was so impressed with his professionalism, compassion, ability to help me navigate such difficult waters, and be willing to travel a long distance to the courthouse on my behalf. He was not only professional, but his services were done neatly, accurately and on time. The peace of mind of having such competent legal counsel is one of those things in life that no amount of money can pay. Yet Gary was very reasonable with his legal fees, for which I will always be very grateful. During one of the hardest times in my life, he was there to help and he did a superb job. Thanks Gary! I can not ask for more in an attorney. You'll be in the best hands with Gary Beeler and his very competent and caring staff.

I have endured almost 14 years of divorce, custody and related hassles with my two ex-wives. And I have three great kids for which I am very thankful. When I came to OC from Los Angeles, I met and hired Gary Beeler. I found his aproach refreshing, open, honest and with a distinct attitude designed to cut through all the typical lawyer games and posturing. I cannot say enough good things about how Gary Beeler comports himself in his office, in the courtroom and with his own family members. I strongly recommend that any person looking for legal representation have a consultation with Mr. Beeler so you can recognize what a refreshing approach he takes to a most unpleasant task. Like I said, Gary Beeler is The Best of The best.
