Great Employment Lawyer
Will has been helpful in a very difficult situation. He knows the law and was aggressive in getting me a good settlement.
Posted by Willie | May 29, 2015
Excellent Lawyer
Mr. Beckum did a great job on my discrimination case. He was patient and hard working and never gave up on me - even after my prior lawyer did. I can't say enough about how good a job he did and I was very happy with my settlement.
