This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Review - Brian Beckcom

Brian Beckcom was instrumental in a successful outcome for my son's injury case. His investigative skills uncovered some shocking revelations that strengthened the case. He was also very compassionate and a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend him and his firm VB attorneys.

Maritime case concerning deceased spouse

Mr. Beckcom handled a maritime case for me concerning my deceased husband. He and his staff were excellent. He is extremely knowledgeable and left no stone unturned as far as details and research for this case. One aspect I truly appreciated was the constant communication and willingness to expla...in what was happening. In my opinion, he truly cares about the cases he accepts and treats his clients with respect and professionalism. If the need were to arise for an attorney in the future I would not use anyone but Brian Beckcom.

Best Legal Advice I've Gotten

Working with Brian has been a great experience. He is one of the most honest people I have had the honor of knowing, and he makes sure I know exactly what my best options are. He is trustworthy, and once you become his client, you definitely know you're getting the best legal advice out there. I sp...ent a lot of time looking for the right attorney, but the moment I came across his firm, I knew they were the right people to help me, and talking with Brian sealed the deal. I wanted him to represent me. Hands down, I would recommend him to anyone who needs a maritime/admiralty attorney.

Posted by Patti | September 9, 2010

Highly Recommend

I have had the honor of working with Brian for almost two years. Brian is a relentless advocate for his clients. Innovative and smart, Brian uses his talents to help his clients get excellent results. He is respected as an expert in Martime law and has written several books on the subject. As an adde...d bonus, he has a great sense of humor and is a dedicated family man. Anyone would be lucky to have him as their attorney and friend.

Aaron Worley's review of Brian Beckom's professional services-

Mr. Beckcom took my case when no one else would and he won me a settlement. He and I are in agreement about the injustice of the mammoth cruise lines treating people totally unfairly and illegally, and he was able to secure me a cash amount from the largest cruise company in the world... without him ...I would have simply faded away into the large group of unrepresented victims of the cruise lines' indifference and apathy...I highly and very enthusiastically recommend Brian Beckcom.

"I have worked with Brian for over three years. Brian is one of the smartest people I know. I suspect his IQ is off the charts. While there are many raw-IQ-smart lawyers, more than any lawyer I know, Brian’s able to put his MENSA skillset to use in developing and implementing winning litigation strategies. He does it all the time and makes it look easy. This would ordinarily be annoying, but Brian’s made me a better lawyer, so for this I’m grateful to him. Another thing: If Brian is involved in the litigation, you’ve got have him on your side. If he’s on the other side, ugh."
