What recent reviews say

Beacon Family Law performs strongly when clients connect with seasoned staff like Kerri Eyles or Dirk Klicker at their best: they deliver favourable property and custody outcomes with empathy and clear explanations. However, the firm has a troubling pattern of complaint about misleading consultation advertising, slow communication after engagement, and staff who lack patience or professionalism-enough reviewers cite pressure calls, rudeness, or feeling financially exploited that potential clients should confirm fees and expectations upfront.
