Beall & Mitchell LLC

Beall & Mitchell LLC represents a powerful combination: deep trial experience, genuine compassion for clients in difficult circumstances, and aggressive legal advocacy when circumstances demand it. Located in Wichita, Kansas, this firm has built its reputation on the principle that people navigating divorce and family law disputes deserve both compassionate care and skilled, determined representation.

Terry D. Beall, the founder of Beall & Mitchell LLC, brought to his legal practice a unique perspective shaped by both rigorous academic training and real-world exposure to the legal system. He earned his Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Wichita State University in 1991, a background that gives him genuine insight into the emotional and relational dimensions of family law disputes. Rather than viewing family law cases as abstract legal problems, Terry understands the human dimensions—the grief of relationship dissolution, the anxiety of custody disputes, the complexity of parenting arrangements.

Following his undergraduate education, Terry pursued law at the University of Tulsa College of Law, earning his Juris Doctor in 1995 and becoming admitted to practice in Kansas that same year. However, rather than immediately opening a private practice, Terry made a strategic choice to deepen his understanding of the legal system by serving as an Assistant City Attorney, advising local government on various legal issues. This role gave him invaluable exposure to how government entities approach legal problems, how courts operate, and how legal processes actually function in practice—knowledge that would prove essential to his later success in private practice.

Terry's co-founder partner is Patrick Mitchell, an attorney whose own background contributes complementary skills and experience to the firm. Together, Terry and Patrick have built Beall & Mitchell LLC into a respected Wichita law firm with over 35 years of combined experience in family law, criminal defense, probate, and bankruptcy matters.

What makes Beall & Mitchell LLC distinctive is its founding philosophy. Terry Beall founded the firm based on a fundamental belief: residents of Wichita and the surrounding community deserve compassionate care and aggressive legal representation. This commitment manifests in how the firm approaches every client interaction. From the initial consultation, the attorneys focus on providing clear answers to difficult questions, setting realistic expectations based on the specific facts of the case, and developing practical plans that clients can understand and support.

The firm's family law practice addresses the full spectrum of divorce and custody matters. Whether clients are facing relatively uncontested divorces where parties generally agree on major issues, or fiercely contested disputes involving custody battles, property division, or support disagreements, Beall & Mitchell LLC brings sophisticated legal knowledge and trial-ready advocacy. The attorneys handle matters involving child custody and visitation, negotiating parenting plans that prioritize children's wellbeing while protecting parents' relationships with their children. They guide clients through division of marital property, ensuring equitable distribution of assets and liabilities. And they represent clients in child support and alimony disputes, seeking appropriate support levels that reflect the parties' respective financial circumstances.

A particular strength of Beall & Mitchell LLC is its knowledge of the Wichita court system. Over 20+ years of practice, Terry Beall developed relationships with local judges, learned their individual preferences and judicial philosophies, and gained deep familiarity with local court rules and procedures. This local expertise is invaluable; it allows the firm to anticipate how specific judges might approach particular issues and to structure arguments and strategies accordingly. When clients work with Beall & Mitchell LLC, they're not hiring attorneys unfamiliar with the local legal landscape; they're engaging experienced advocates who understand the Wichita judicial system intimately.

The firm demonstrates its commitment to accessibility through practical client service. Beall & Mitchell LLC offers free 15-minute consultations, allowing potential clients to discuss their situation and determine whether the firm is a good fit without financial commitment. The firm also provides services in both English and Spanish, removing language barriers that might prevent Spanish-speaking clients from accessing high-quality legal representation.

Client satisfaction is evident in the firm's strong reputation. With over 151 reviews on Birdeye and consistently positive ratings, Beall & Mitchell LLC has built a track record of satisfied clients who appreciate both the legal results and the quality of attorney-client relationships. Clients report that working with the firm feels different—less like working with a law factory and more like working with attorneys who genuinely care about their outcomes.

Beall & Mitchell LLC's criminal defense and bankruptcy practices complement its family law work. Many family law clients face related legal challenges, such as criminal charges or financial complications. Having a firm that can address these interconnected issues with comprehensive legal counsel creates significant advantages for clients.

For anyone in Wichita facing divorce, custody disputes, property division, or other family law challenges, Beall & Mitchell LLC offers experienced, compassionate, and aggressive representation. The combination of Terry Beall's psychology background, his trial experience, and the firm's commitment to local court expertise creates a powerful resource for families navigating difficult transitions.
