Gerlach Beaumier Pllp

Excellent attorneys, friendly and knowledgeable staff.

Do not hire Kartrina Viegas and her assistant Aprille! I hired her for a simple non-contest divorce that she said would take about 2 weeks to finalize and tops $2k. It took 7 months because she purposely dragged it out to charge me more. At the end I paid $6K, and she's still sending me bills. Married 5 months, no children, no shared assets, and zero income made while married. Do yourself a favor and find another firm!

Wasted large amount of my time and billed me for it, I'm heavily considering reporting to the board of ethics. I retained Mr. Beaumier in November and started giving him all of my court documents. I had to physically drive up to Two Harbors to gather documents cause he refused to submit himself as my lawyer to the courts until he'd finished the actual motion. It took him about 3 months to file my motion, in that time he continuously charged me to 'review' my case and then charged me to write emails requesting information I'd already given him. When confronted about this he refunded 1 hour of paralegal time, and blamed her, even though a lot of the information had been given directly to him. When we finally got to the early neutral evaluation, I wanted a piece of information that was granted in my arbitration agreement, but he advised to wait until the agreement became an order. I begrudgingly agreed and then after it became an order and I asked about it, he charged me another $700 to read 3 emails each about a paragraph long (in which I tried to assert my rights) and then advised me he wants a larger retainer to go back to court for something I should have had in the first place. Mr. Beaumier shows a complete lack of empathy for his clients and zero desire to actually perform the work you pay him for as he takes on average 1 week to respond to any email and will only correspond via his para, that way you have to pay both of them to type out an email. I cannot recommend to stay away from his practice highly enough.

I'm always happy to send people to this firm as I know they're compassionate to their clients. They provide great representation and are affordable.

Had a great experience with Mr. Beaumier and his associates. Answered all my questions and provided excellent service. Highly recommended.
