Fantastic Lawyer and a great guy

I had a few lawyers interested in my Medical malpractice case and I definitely made the right choice when I chose the Beasley Firm. I believe the verdict could have gone either way and without Jim's legal expertise, medical knowledge and likeable personality we may have not won. I consider Jim a frie...nd and I appreciate the hard work he and his firm did to win my case. I highly recommend Jim Beasley if you are in need of a Medical malpractice lawyer.

Aviation Accident Attorney

I contacted the Beasley Firm following my husband’s tragic death in an aircraft accident. As pilots and expert aviation accident attorneys, Jim Beasley, Jr., and Lane Jubb immediately understood the complexities of this unusual accident. They judiciously examined the official reports and circumstan...ces. With attention to detail and dogged determination to establish the truth, the Beasley Firm pursued its own aggressive investigation while successfully navigating the intricacies of filing a federal case in a state known to be especially harsh on individuals regarding wrongful death suits. They assembled experts in aviation and with laser-focus proved conclusively that this accident was not the result of pilot error. Moreover, from the onset, Jim and Lane treated me with compassion and respect. They persevered on my behalf, kept me abreast of developments, and gave me a hope I never imagined possible against such a formidable adversary. The Beasley Firm’s success not only gave me emotional peace and a future with my remaining family, but preserved the integrity and reputations of the general aviators involved. The Beasley Firm has my unequivocal gratitude.

Great guy and amazing lawyer

I could have written this review before the verdict. Jim is truly an amazing attorney and now considered part of our family. He was professional and compasionate throughout the 2 plus year ordeal leading up to the trial. We always felt comfortable with him and well cared for. We actually came upo...n Jim by random chance and it was the best luck we've had in years. His knowledge of the systems and litigation are second to none. Thanks to Jim our little boy will have a much better life.

HIghly skilled atty for a baby

When my newborn son died unexpectedly at a local hospital, I was left with a little green box of his effects and a mess of questions. I wasn't looking for a lawyer when I called The Beasley Firm, I was looking for answers. Jim Beasley, Jr was a compassionate, knowledgeable and highly engaged advocate... for me and the memory of my son. In addition to his appreciation of the humanity in our case, Jim brought a unique skill set as a medical doctor and attorney. He navigated depositions, trial and post trial motions masterfully. Jim welcomed (if not encouraged) my full participation in all aspects of our case, was able to explain to me what the answers meant in a way that I could understand. Every call, every email, and every repeated inquiry of mine were quickly and respectfully answered. Jim knew it was my case. He never pressured me to move the case in a direction I was uncertain of. Despite a significant settlement offer, he did not hesitate to take the case to trial. Jim didn't rehearse me, he prepared me. At trial, he maintained a professional and experienced presence. He was a potent presence in the courtroom. His preparation for trial was so thorough he caught the large defense team of multiple attorneys off guard numerous times. When I was fragile and tender on the stand, he protected my interests and the needs of the case simultaneously. He understands that every case is more than a docket number, while making sure I understood that litigation would be painful for me to endure. I could not have asked for a better lawyer to represent me from the earliest stages of possible litigation all the way to post trial motions. Jim Beasley, Jr is the best.

Outstanding legal help from Mr. Beasley and the Beasley Firm

Mr. Beasley is an intelligent, sharp and ethical attorney. I have known Jim and utilized his expertise for almost 11 years. As a former US Air Force Fighter Pilot and now as a businessman, I look to associate myself with others who share my core values of integrity, honesty and excellence. Jim and hi...s firm share my core values and have represented me over the years in a manner consistent with those values. In my opinion, Jim is a straight shooter and an outstanding attorney that you want on your side when you have a legal issue to be solved. I am 100% satisfied with Mr. Beasley and his firm.
