Beal Law Firm, PLLC.

Trusted Texas Divorce Attorneys

Beal Law Firm began in May 1992 when Eric Beal left the big firms of Dallas and started a solo practice in Arlington, Texas. At the time, the firm was called the Law Offices of Eric Beal. The very first paying case that the firm signed up was a family law case involving termination and step-parent adoption, and those clients became friends for life.



From the very beginning, Beal Law Firm has handled family law work, in fact Eric Beal handled his first divorce case while working for one of the largest (350 attorneys) and most respected firms in Dallas, Johnson & Gibbs, P.C.



Eric's first solo jury trial was a custody case involving a request for termination of parental rights. Eric represented the respondent against Child Protective Services. Eric won the case with a unanimous verdict after 15 minutes of jury deliberation.



Over the next 15 years, the firm handled hundreds of cases in a wide variety of areas including family law ? divorce, child custody, child support, enforcement, termination, etc. ? juvenile law, breach of contract, deceptive trade practices, insurance code, employment law, intellectual property, adult criminal law, misappropriation, probate, mental health law, and personal injury ? both plaintiff and defense.



In 2007, having changed the name of the firm to Beal Law Firm, moved to Southlake, Texas, and with a docket that by then had become about 75% family law, the firm decided to focus exclusively on family law.



Over the last 13 years, the firm has represented hundreds of clients throughout Tarrant, Dallas, Collin, Denton, Bexar, Johnson, Erath, Parker, Wise, Rockwall, Kaufman, Ellis, El Paso, Midland, Atascosa County, Wilson County, Frio County, Guadalupe County, Kendall County, Kerr County, Medina County, Uvalde County, Comal County, and other Texas Counties.
