Mowrey Shoemaker Beardsley PL

I have worked with Brandon Beardsley on two occasions. He handled a divorce case for me and did what I consider to be the best job possible under the circumstances. He was professional, responsive, and made sure my questions were answered in a timely fashion. When a subsequent frivolous lawsuit was filed by my ex wife he agreed to join the defense team on short notice. In my opinion his participation stopped that case from proceeding or ever coming to court. I will work with him again should I have other legal needs. I have referred other people to him for family law matters and will continue to do so.

I hired Brandon Beardsley because I wanted a divorce attorney that would look out for the best interest of my children and I. His work with Kids Bridge and the Family Resource Center demonstrate that he truly cares about what is best for the children involved in divorce. He far exceeded my expecations in the prompt and accurate reponses I received from both himself and Kelly, his asst. Although it took over a year to finalize due to the backlog in the St Johns county family courts, Brandon consistently showed his knowledge of Florida Family Law statutes and it's application in the court room. He was upfront with me from day one on what to expect, and always let me know what I could do to save money. I would recommend Brandon to anyone that cares about being treated with respect in the St Johns county courts.

I have recommended Brandon Beardsley to my friends. I have had the pleasure and peace of mind by having him represent me for over 2 years. He is not the first attorney I've had, but he is the best. Every time we have gone to court, he has demonstrated that he is a brilliant attorney. I have walked out impressed. Mr. Beardsley has my best interest at heart & does the discoveries needed for the case & investigations on things I don't even need to know of. All of his diligence= We are READY! He has Proven to be exceptionally accomplished throughout Mediation, Divorce, QDRO, Alimony & Child Support and Child Custody.

I hired Brandon Beardsley as my divorce attorney to help me win custody of my daughter. He told me that he knew about these "20 factors" that the court considers and that no other attorney knew about them, so he had an "edge". He sent me financial affidavit paperwork to fill out without instructions. Whenever I called he was never there. I left messages and he never called back. He did not respond to my emails. He sent interrogatories to my husband without telling me or asking for my input. He did not ask me for any "facts" regarding me or my husband. Brandon received financial statements from my husband and never shared them with me. He set a 2 hour practice session to go over things before my first hearing and cut it short at one hour claiming that we were "ready". During the hearing, he allowed the opposing counsel to control 75% of the time, and only objected to testimony twice. He asked me questions that we had not practiced, which caused me to hurt my own case. He did not ask me my side of the story for any of the lies my husband told on the stand, so his story became "fact". He failed to even mention my husbands documented suicide attempts, which I thought were highly relevant. He didn't file contempt charges when my husband removed the entire contents our home and took everything.
