Riley believes in fighting for the common man and standing up against large institutions who take advantage of those who are not represented.

Since joining Douglas R. Beam, P.A., Riley Beam has helped take on some of the biggest personal injury, civil, and criminal cases at the firm. Riley follows in the tradition of the firm and believes in taking cases to trial.

Riley's first trial was historic for the firm and record-breaking for Brevard County. Working alongside a team of talented lawyers, Riley helped land a $28,500,000 verdict. Since then, he has been instrumental in securing positive results for clients in personal injury and criminal defense law.

Riley's work is focused in motor vehicle collisions, civil rights, trucking, premises liability, slip/trip and falls, negligent security, nursing home negligence, medical malpractice, and many other personal injury incidents where clients have suffered paralyzation, brain injuries, life-long physical and emotional injuries, or death.

 

Riley attended the University of Florida during their historic championship runs and graduated with a B.A. in Advertising. After graduating, Riley went directly to Florida International University College of Law. Riley has continued his involvement in the community in various neighborhood sports leagues, support for local high school athletic programs, the Vassar B. Carlton Inn of Court, American Association for Justice, the Florida Justice Association, and the American Diabetes Association. He has been published in the Florida Justice Association Journal regarding damages in personal injury cases, has given presentations at the Workhorse Seminar on the topic of personal injury and the Vassar B. Carlton Inn of Court on the topics professionalism and burdens of proof. 

 

Riley was named a Top 100 Trial Lawyer in 2013 through 2020 by the American Association for Justice.

 

You will not find Riley or Doug Beam on a TV ad or billboard. The firm was founded in 1987 and built its reputation through word of mouth from their clients, results in the court room, and aggressive approach to their cases.

 

Riley currently lives in Melbourne, Florida with his wife and daughter.

Excellent References
I had a legal question that didn't really pertain to Mr. Beams type of law that he practices. Mr. Beam took the time out of his schedule to give excellent references in the area of law that was my concern. I commend his professionalism! Thank you!

Awesome lawyer
Riley Beam is an extremely friendly and personable man who makes both prospective and actual clients feel very comfortable when discussing their cases with him. As an actual lawyer, he is incredibly knowledgeable in both criminal defense and personal injury law, and I highly recommend taking your case to him. While Riley is only in his late twenties, his father, Douglas R. Beam, has been an extremely successful trial attorney for the last three decades. The Beam team of father and son work together out of their very successful Melbourne firm, and have thousands of former clients who can attest to their incredible dedication to their clients and their cases. Riley is especially great at keeping the lines of communication open with his clients, and is constantly keeping in touch throughout the different stages of the case. Personally, I could not have been happier with the result that Riley and his firm achieved for me in the case that I brought to them. However, while many attorneys can win your case for you, it is much more rare to be treated as well as I was by Riley and his entire staff at his Melbourne firm. From the first day I walked in to the final day of my case, I felt like I was their most important client. I never had to wait more than a day to have my calls or e-mails returned, and he was always extremely friendly and gracious when updating me on any developments. If you are looking for a lawyer who really cares and will work tirelessly for you, while also treating you like you're family, Riley Beam is the man for you. At the very least, I would encourage you to take your case into his office for an initial consultation with Riley, and it will not take long for you to realize that I was not exaggerating about either the customer service component or his intellectual abilities and tireless work ethic for defending his clients.
