Mr. Bean has never been a stereotypical attorney; immediately gaining a unique perspective on the "art of lawyering" with his first paid legal position, stationed in Tokyo, as a United States Air Force attorney (Judge Advocate "JAG"), practicing in many locations and in many areas of law.  Overall, Mr. Bean’s practice has included: eight years of experience in Family Law (i.e., divorces, paternity, child support, child custody/time-sharing, alimony, prenuptial and post-nuptial agreements, and more), Mental Health Cases (i.e., Marchman Act, Baker Act, Incapacity), Guardianships & Conservatorships,  Estate Planning, and Probate, plus 4 years of experience as a Captain in the U.S. Air Force JAG Corps.  These experiences give Mr. Bean the ability to quickly create a plan of action to meet the needs of his clients. In addition to working with thousands of issues with different clients, Mr. Bean has attended many advanced training courses focused on Estate Planning Law (including, Elder Law and Guardianship Law), Military Law (including Health Law, Criminal Law, Tax Law, and National Security Law), Mental Health Laws (including, Substance Abuse Law and Incapacity Law), and Family Law.

Since Mr. Bean was admitted to the Florida Bar in 2007, he’s been very blessed, receiving awards and accolades for his noted first-hand work in a vast array of exciting cases and projects.  In 2011, due to numerous service-connected illnesses, he was medically retired, honorably, from the United States Air Force JAG Corps after four years of distinguished service. During this time he spent working with the heroes of our Nation, Captain Bean earned the Department of the Air Force "The Air Force Commendation Medal", "Outstanding Unit Medal", "Global War on Terrorism Medal", "National Defense Medal", and "Air Force Training Ribbon". Additionally, Captain Bean was a Distinguished Graduate from United States Air Force Officer Training School. Judd continues to put his 'service before self' while applying the unique personal and professional talents he learned serving our country towards new experiences with Judd Bean Law.

Mr. Bean graduated cum laude from the University of Florida in 2004 with a Bachelor’s of Science degree in Sport Management. He later graduated and earned a J.D. from Saint Thomas University School of Law in 2007, finishing at the Upper % of his class. Mr. Bean was admitted to the Florida Bar in 2007.  Last Spring, Mr. Bean earned his Master of Laws (LL.M.) in Health Law, graduating at the top of his class from the Loyola University School of Law Beazley Institute for Health Law and Policy, which is one of the nation's leading health law programs.

Mr. Bean is an active member of the Florida Bar, American Bar Association, Hillsborough County Bar Association, Brandon Bar Association, United States Air Force Court of Appeals, Entertainment and Sports Law Section of the New York State Bar, Federal Bar of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces, University of Florida Alumni Association, and Saint Thomas University School of Law Alumni Association.

Thank you
Estate planning is so easy to put off until later. Years fly by and often family member’s passing makes us realize we need to get our affairs in order. Exactly my position when I found Judd Bean. He walked my through the maize of papers. Made me feel at ease and thankful to have it completed. Thank you

Highest recommendation for Judd Roy Bean II
As parents of a special needs child, it was necessary for us to pursue guardian advocacy for our daughter. Judd R. Bean, Esq. was appointed by Hillsborough County to represent her in this case. Judd showed himself to be a sincere and compassionate advocate for her and we were so thankful for his experienced, competent help and guidance during this process! Thank you Judd. Kerry and Kim

Amazing Attorney
Not only has Judd Bean been the best attorney I have ever known but he is also one of the most caring people I have ever met. His passion for helping people was clear from the beginning, he has helped my family legally and provided emotional support during our proceedings. There is no alternative to Judd Bean, he will always be the first call for us.

Honest, Sincere, Dedicated & Extremely Fair! Thrilled to have hired Mr. Bean!
I am very pleased to have the opportunity to review Mr. Bean! My family hired Judd Bean Law to represent us during a Marchman Act case, which we were compelled to file to help save my daughter's life. My daughter is now a recovering heroin addict and is doing remarkably better! Mr. Bean helped with our Marchman Act petition and subsequent court hearings, which ordered her "involuntarily" into a drug rehab center. Not only did Mr. Bean provide professional and effective service to my family, but he gave our family a great sense of compassion and empathy, as he openly shared his family's story with his best-friend & sister, Brooke, who they lost to a terrible combination of substance abuse (alcoholism) and an eating disorder. After seeing his successful techniques, hearing his emotional stories, plus witnessing his positive attitude and unbelievable dedication to helping us in our situation where substance abuse is threatening a loved one, I (plus my family) feel fully confident in recommending him to other people in similar circumstances. Thanks and best wishes to all who read this - it can get better! Stay positive!

So Thankful for Attorney Judd Bean!! He's Out There to Save Lives!
In February of this year, I attended an addiction seminar held in my area. My son and his girlfriend have more than one addiction that has taken over their lives. I was looking at filing the Marchman Act for my son, so he could get some help. To my surprise, there was a lawyer by the name of Judd Bean II that was also present at the seminar. His family had walked the same path of addiction with his late sister. He now helps families with the Marchman Act and other family issues,regarding addiction. I hired Judd Bean II after my son was charged with DUI. I made the decision to file the Marchman Act, so he could get the help he needed. Having a lawyer sitting with you and helping you make the hard decisions was very helpful. I will hire Judd Bean II again, if I need legal advice in the future. Sincerely, Connie W.

A great guy with an awesome personality.
I am currently in a case with Judd as my attorney. Judd is the most nicest guy I have met in a long time. He is a good honest Christian guy that goes out of his way. I have actually recommended him to a few friends already. I would rather not go into any details as the case is still in courts.

Mr. Judd Bean is Wonderful!
Judd Bean is simply wonderful! I contacted Mr. Bean to help me with my divorce. From the start he was honest, patient and understanding. A God fearing Man who brings so much to the table; more than a lawyer he is a counselor, Mr. Bean offers guidance, he listens, he helps calm your fears, while understanding what you need and your wants into giving you the best advice possible. From the start he knew I was battling a war within myself by wanting to save my marriage, my family, all the while being terrified as a disabled and sick woman who suffers from a multitude of neurological disorders and organ issues. My relationship with God as a Christian woman, my family and health had me stressed out and overwhelmed. He understood where I sat as a Christian woman and only offered realistic advice. He knew I wanted to take my time. He did not push me to make a hasty decision, and told me he would only file when I was ready. He never at one time told me what I should ask for and respected my decision in only wanting to look out for my children and security. Mr. Judd Bean is a miracle sent from God. He did not want to make a quick dollar, he wanted me to be safe, secure and of right mind in my decision. I will always be grateful to Mr. Bean! I am so glad God has put a lawyer in my midst that I can trust for me and my family’s future needs. Thank You again Mr. Bean

Marchman Act representation
My husband & I contacted Judd to represent our son with his Marchman Act while he was in jail. Judd spent a lot of time talking with both of us to help fully understand how to best serve and help our son. Judd did a wonderful job guiding our son & us through the process. Judd took calls, replied to our texts and emails no matter what time day or night. We had multiple court appearances in which Judd was so helpful to help navigate through each hearing. Judd made several visits to jail to help our son and because of Judd's help, compassion and support our son is in treatment. Judd truly exhibits the level of professionalism and caring all of us needed. We highly recommend him as a first class attorney.

Review for Judd Roy Bean by Maria C. Ruiz
It was a pleasure working with Judd on my divorce case. Divorces are never easy but I am glad to say that Judd made the experience a lot better through his professionalism, clear communication, willingness to help and genuine, honest nature. I would definitely recommend his services to a friend.
Posted by Amanda | February 3, 2014
Truly a blessing
Judd is by far one of the most knowledgeable, compassionate and dedicated attorneys I have had the pleasure of working with. I, myself, have been a paralegal for several attorneys and have not had such a pleasurable experience as I did with him. He is truly empathetic to his clients needs and what they are going through. He was my attorney for my Dissolution of Marriage last year, and was with me every step of the way. Also, my friends still joke with me today, as they say it was the quickest and most efficient process they have ever seen. As opposed to other attorneys, I was always able to speak to HIM on the phone, he showed up for every hearing and appointment, and was available whenever I needed him. You can't say that about many attorneys today. He is passionate about his work, and his clients, and this shows through in his work and in his life. He is extremely trustworthy and I highly recommend him to anyone. I not only refer to him as my attorney, but now also, as my friend.

Posted by Kelly | January 21, 2014
Wonderful! Would highly recommend!
When going through my recent divorce, Judd Bean was responsive, informative, and kept a positive outlook for what would normally be a very difficult time. He took the time necessary to gather all the information, gave excellent advice, and was encouraging. I am blessed that he was part of my proceedings.
Posted by John | January 15, 2014
Professional and personable
Judd is a knowledgable and capable attorney. The thing that I think sets him apart is his demeanor, care, empathy, and professionalism. He is a person who connects with his clients in a professional, but also personal way. His car and concern for the wellbeing of his clients is evident. He has been a joy to work with during a difficult life situation. Instead of adding to the headaches, Judd helped me navigate the legal process like a trusted friend. I recommend him highly.

Judd Bean- Client Review
Judd helped me when I elected to initiate divorce proceedings and I could not have been happier with his representation. I have dealt with other attorneys in the past and was pleasantly surprised by his work ethic and availability. He did everything in his power to make sure I was satisfied and comfortable with how the divorce was proceeding. He always returned my phone calls as soon as he could and was always available to answer any questions. I could not have asked for an attorney that could have done a better job and been more sensitive to my situation than Judd Roy Bean II.

Judd is he man
Judd did a great service for us. He was reccomended to us from friends. Judd explained all the documents to us and all the ramifications of what we were doing. Judd spent additional time wth us to verify that we were completeley informed I would recommend Judd to any one who needs a attorney
Posted by Mindy | November 18, 2013
Amazing experience. Highly recommend.
During a very difficult time in our lives, we needed to hire a family lawyer to help us with some very hard decisions. Judd Bean did an amazing job at not only meeting our family needs, but he exceeded our expectations. When you think of lawyer, you think of someone who is about money first and family second. Judd Bean was so personable with us and took the time to explain everything to us and even did so at the hospital. He sat with our family and treated us like a family, not a paycheck. I am not sure how we would have gotten through this difficult legal matter if it was not for Judd Bean.
