We met with Richard Beckman and his associate Justin Goodman about a small claims judgment that was wrongly entered against us for $10,000.00. After reviewing the judgment and the plaintiff’s case and our defense, he believed the judgment would be reversed if we appealed it, though he was concerned that the cost of legal fees could be a concern, since the amount in the case was ‘only’ $10,000.00. However, he agreed to represent us for a flat fee, which we thought was reasonable. We went to the appeal court trial, with his associate Justin, who convinced the judge to overturn the prior judgment and award the tenant plaintiffs nothing. We were very pleased with Mr. Beckman’s handling of our case, and the efforts by his associate Justin. We would be happy to recommend them both to any of our friends.
