Beverlye Brady & Associates - Auburn, Alabama

Lisa McDaniel

Do not hire this woman! She isn’t worth your time or money. Worst lawyer I’ve ever had. She Told me she would do my mediation for her retainer of a whopping 10,000 and then sent me a letter stating she wanted another 20,000 before she would do it and another 35k or more for court!! This woman is all about getting your money. She never helped me get child support or anything else. So she took my 10k and ran! She made my situation worse! I regret ever hiring this firm. Now I’m without a lawyer and can’t afford another one. I’ll be at my mediation alone.

This firm allowed the oppositions firm to run the show. So much was left out of the brutality our family went through. The bulling from his attorney and himself won everything. The ex husband got primary custody of their 7 year old daughter. All the equity in their home. And our rights are very limited while his breaking of rules is allowed since we cannot afford an attorney to fight this through the courts after a $80,000 attorney fees. The sad part is the child lost. The Court let the child down and was sucked in by a narcissist and a Psychopath. You need someone who will work harder than this firm.

Elaine with Beverlye Brady & Associates was an attorney I was referred to by a trusted source. From our first meeting, Elaine explained every step in great detail. I trusted her from the beginning and there was never a doubt throughout the entire process that she had my best interests at heart. Elaine is very passionate, caring and extremely competent with the legal system. She showed professionalism and fought hard until the end for me. When going through a legal process it's important to have someone fight for you and do it the right way! I am so grateful for her services and will forever be grateful for her time and patience with me throughout my case. Thank you so much, Elaine ❤️

Beverlye and her staff are hands-down the BEST. She has stood by my side and fought for me time and time again. She is kind, empathetic and caring while also has a bulldog spirit which you want and need when going through the hardest time of your life. She's a straight shooter and won't waste your time or money. She and her team work hard to get the results you need so that you can get back to your life. I recommend her to anyone who asks if I know a good lawyer!

Words cannot convey the level of appreciation and gratitude that I have for Beverlye and Elaine and the firm. The single worst and most painful experience in my life would have been less bearable without the guidance and support of these two women. They ALWAYS made me feel valued and understood. Although they encounter many different levels of emotions in their day to day practice, they made me feel like I was their only client. There are people that you meet along your journey in life and although you may not remember the task, you will ALWAYS remember how they made you feel! Thank you for making me feel like family !!!

If your reading this you are most likely searching for lawyer dealing with family court matters. Well look no further!

Elaine Thomaston, is a wonderful choice for advocacy. What made me choose Elaine? At our initial consultation, she was client focused/orientated. She didn't sell me a dream. I was representing myself (Pro Se,) during the time of my consultation. I had a hearing right after. Elaine looked at me and said "no matter the outcome today, you remain calm and thank the judge for his time". That advice coupled with some pointers and court etiquette suggestions, spoke to her character as an attorney. She didn't have to do any of this...but she did! No matter how good or bad the case looked she NEVER promised a win/good outcome. (always remember in family court there are no wins/losses) She is not in it for the money. Although she is worth every penny. I don't regret choosing Beverlye Brady & Associates.

When I hired Elaine, it wasn't like now that I retained her she turn on the switch to work mode. Elaine had the same attitude from consultation to the end of the case. The professionalism was top tier.

I will say this, Elaine and everyone are always willing to be "all hands on deck" if need be. Elaine always answers emails and calls, and if she not available she will get back to you at her earliest convenience. Elaine has told me hard truths, even if it was something I did not want to hear but it was for the best.

Results of these matters take time. Have faith in this team whether good or bad they will advocate to ensure that you are receiving the best possible outcome.

MOST importantly Elaine is client centered. She is not money driven. With that being said you don't have to worry about her doing anything for bill related purposes. I expressed to Elaine my desires to settle in mediation. Some how I was leaning towards trail and Elaine said "Well lets see how mediation works out. I'm a big proponent for mediation" (trail cost way more than mediation)(disclaimer my case could have went either way, I'm not saying that this will be your outcome). I would go into details but I don't want to give away any of her "secret sauce".

Elaine gave me a hug at the end of my settlement. She assured me that just because my case had come to an end that I can reach out to her at anytime.

I recommend Beverlye Brady & Associates. Although Elaine was my attorney they all are equipped to get the job done.

I would never forget this time in my life and Elaine.

It had taken me many years to write this review. As I have noticed in other reviews, Beverlye passes you off until court. She actually made my personal situation much worse than it had to be. Mentally I was just broken and she took advantage. I have since found I had a small stroke and basically she accused me of being on drugs however every drug test taken was clean. The bottom line is she basically took advantage and after all was said and done I basically ended up with nothing much , yet took 70k from me. I was not in a place to make decisions and instead of having compassion and empathy (not a lawyers strong suit—I know) she actually used me as an example in another court case which basically had nothing to do with me. I find her very overrated and only out for the money. I realize that is what you should expect from a lawyer but I was not in a mental state of mind of mind to handle the situation and she took full advantage. It physically makes me sick to know she represented me.

One of the most devastating events in a person's life is a divorce. It is my opinion the team at Beverlye Brady & Associates truly understands this and makes this their first priority. My divorce was anything BUT standard. It involved a minor, many assets and criminal charges which resulted in many "first" situations that required some digging and research. The entire team got on board when needed. They are highly experienced and professional and do their job with the utmost quality. They are not counselors but they will do their best to help you work through the emotional roller coaster to help you make the best decisions for your circumstances and this means they will tell you no, when you need it, for which I am ever grateful! I thank the Lord everyday for sending these ladies into my life!
