Couldn’t have asked for a better lawyer

Riley and his team were amazing! They were with me after my car accident and helped answer any questions I had! They were awesome and helped me throughout the whole ordeal! I would recommend them to anyone who needs!

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 ca...se 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.
