I was surprised by a divorce filing and things weren’t working out with the attorney I hired on short notice. I was in a very difficult situation. Luckily for me, Joe Beale agreed to take over my case. Joe is a knowledgeable and compassionate attorney who has done an excellent job of representing me and my children. I recommend Joe for anyone who needs family law representation.

Mr. Beale has been assisting me with a very painful, complicated, and unexpected divorce case involving shared tax debt, a co-owned business, and the custodial arrangements for 4 homeschooled children between the ages of 4 and 13. I have found him to be sensitive to my emotional trauma, knowledgable, professional and yet approachable in his demeanor, honest in his assessments, responsive to my calls and texts, and reasonable and transparent in his billing. He helped me find a private investigator who was efficient and effective in confirming the suspected adultery. He was always receptive to, and respectful of, my input. He reviewed written exchanges between myself and my estranged spouse to assess the nature of our relationship and of our disagreements, and to protect me from conveying things that could be misunderstood or misconstrued. He encouraged me to stand up for myself, while helping me keep my focus on the most important aspect of the situation - the wellbeing of our children. Due to the high costs of divorce cases, from the beginning, Mr. Beale encouraged me to pursue mediation before involving the courts. He recommended two different mediation groups, and was open to helping me prepare my position for presentation to those parties, either with or without his attendance. I was warned many times by others I was speaking with that attorneys commonly drive these cases into the courts and bleed you dry. But Mr. Beale never encouraged that, and has always respected and supported my desire to avoid unnecessary formal litigation. I have always felt that he legitimately cared about my wellbeing and my financial security, and that he feels he does not need to take advantage of clients to support himself. I have been pleased with Mr. Beale's service and advice, and would recommend him to friends and family without reservation.

Even though family law is never easy, Mr. Beale was thorough since the beginning in terms of expectation/scope of work, and crystal from a financial standpoint. I would definitely recommend hiring him.

Overall satisfied and happy with the results. I would recommend his services

Mr. Beale is by far the best attorney I've ever worked with. He is thoughtful in framing legal arguments and passionately represented me. He was always extremely prepared for hearings. I have found that many attorneys call you the day before the hearing and then improvise. Mr. Beale is just the opposite. He carefully flushes out the arguments and prepares to win as his did in my case. He also didn't price gouge me and I found his fees to be reasonable considering the dedication he showed towards my family case.

I hired Joseph to handle my divorce. I was married for 10 years, and assumed I would lose most of my assets. Joseph walked me through the process, explained the plan of action, and we went to battle. Glad he was on my side, opposing council didn’t know what hit them. Trust me Joseph is the guy you want in your corner when dealing with family issues.

I was referred to Mr. Beale by my insurance plan and Mr. Beale took my case. The whole process was very smooth and Mr. Beale is very professional and responsive. Mr Beale spent even weekend and nights to prepare my cases. I am highly recommended Mr. Beale's service.

Mr. Beale did an outstanding job at representing my case this last time around. He made plenty of time to prepare for trial until I felt confident and answered all my questions honestly. Very professional and responds in a timely manner, even on weekends. Would definitely recommend!

Mr. Beale is an excellent attorney. He has helped me for a year and a half with several cases in family law including divorce, child support, custody and protective orders. Mr. Beale knows the law thoroughly and represents his client very well. Paperwork gets filed in a timely fashion, he contacts you via text/email/phone quickly and is always available. I highly recommend him.

I used services of Mr. Joseph Beal in the last two years during my 2 year long divorce process which has been finalized just last month. Services of Mr. Beal were extremely helpful and his experience and sound knowledge of the law help to resolve many complexities of my legal case. His timely legal advices for needed actions, quick response communicating with other party attorneys, timely preparation of needed documents help immensely with the case. Mr Beal was always available for a conference call or a meeting during work hours and in the evening or weekend which helped a lot especially during negotiation phase of the case.

Joseph's experience and knowledge was a real benefit to my case. He drilled down into the details and was able to put together a solid case at a time when I was very unsure. He helped defend me in a Protective Order case and his confidence and ability helped get the case dismissed! Thanks Joseph!

I hired Joseph as my divorce lawyer (for a very messy complex divorce) and I couldn’t be happier! When I say Joseph did an outstanding job that’s an understatement. Not only does he know the law inside and out....he respectfully kept me in check when I was veering off course and making emotional decisions vs what was best for me in the divorce. He was extremely flexible meeting me off hours to accommodate my crazy work schedule and several times over the weekend. I will definitely be returning to use his services again to update my will and any other legal matter.
