My first experience within the business world was horrible. I got burned. I had an idea for a unique doll and like many people before me, I trusted the wrong business/woman to help me create and manufacture her. I was devastated both emotionally and financially. I called Beverly. She met with me right away and gave me the peace of mind I needed. She immediately started working on my case. I was paid in full, 2 hours after the demand letter was sent! She also took care of all my copyrights. I would highly suggest Beverly to anyone starting out with a new business, never try to do it by yourself, let Beverly walk you through the steps. She is worth every penny you pay her.
I hired Mrs. Griffor for a parenting time increase and objection to child support ruling. I have dealt with a couple lawyers before, so I get a little nervous whenever using a new lawyer. Mrs. Griffor was a great find! She was kind, she listened, and you could tell she wanted to help. I was filing for more parenting time and she took the case and owned it. She kept me up to date on everything that happened and I always knew what she was sending to the court or what the other party was saying to her; other lawyers I have dealt with never did this. In every interaction with me, or the other party, she was professional and kept a level head. Some responses from the other parties sounded mean or they were attacking me, her responses to them were always calm and fair. I can't tell you how much this helps when it comes to talking to the other side or dealing with the judge. After our win with the parenting time the other party filed a Motion for Reconsideration, Mrs. Griffor was instantly all over that. She had prepaired herself for the responses as she was calling me to let me know that they filed this Motion. I cant describe by message how impressed with or happy I am with Mrs. Griffor and what she does. If you are looking for someone who will watch out for your best interest, keep you up to date, and be there for you, then look no further. Hire Mrs. Griffor with confidence that your case will get the attention it deserves and that you have the best representation you can have. I hope that I never have to hire a lawyer again after my cases are done, BUT, if I do, I know where I am going.
I have been in court for a while trying to get my ex to let me see my son, but she wouldnt. I worked with another lawyer who was ok but didnt do work in the area. I had seen Beverly in court and when she came onto my case it was much better. She was more of a partner and tried to get what I wanted without having to go into court cuz my ex presents real well when she talks to the judge with her lawyer. She woked with my ex and got me the time I wanted without making me go to court again.
I would recommend Beverly without question. The ratings of trustworthy, responsive, knowledgeable and kept me informed speak well the type of person she is. I have no regret for having chosen her as my lawyer. Although I'm a new client I have known her many years.
Character, Honesty and Follow thru! As a 26 year military officer, these attributes are what I hope to find in dealing with professionals. Ms. Griffor exceeded the standards of customer service, sound counsel and excellent communication. She made a difficult situation easy to live with and she has my sincer thanks and respect.
My wife and I hired Mrs. Griffor when my brilliant son was arrested for drunk driving. Not only did she make sure we all knew what was going on the whole time, but at the end she had charges dropped. She's a great lady and I recommend her firm to anyone!
