The Beasley Firm's main website also profiles our Areas of Expertise.

The Beasley Firm typically represents plaintiffs in civil litigation and trials in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware and, on occasion, Washington, DC, and New York City. We take difficult plaintiffs' cases and see them all the way through investigation, filing, pleadings, discovery and trial, and through appeal and re-trial, too.

The Beasley Firm is a full-service civil litigation and trial law firm with a forty-year history of excellence. Our reputation as trial lawyers is unparalleled, with multiple record-setting verdicts, and the record (held by the founder) for million-dollar verdicts by a single attorney. Slade McLaughlin and I set a new verdict record -- for punitive damages in a Pennsylvania medical malpractice case -- in May of 2008.

The Beasley Firm is unique in that it has many attorneys who specialize in particular areas like automobile accidents or medical malpractice, multiple appellate attorneys, and many general practitioners who focus on cases that don't fit the normal pattern, all under one roof that retains the nimble energy of a boutique firm where everyone knows each other and bounces ideas off one another. We adapt as the case demands; if a case needs a dozen attorneys and assistants, it gets them.

Most firms put up lists of the types of cases they work on; it's hard to do that for us. In the past year we've worked on automobile accidents, aviation accidents, breach of contract breach of fiduciary duty, business torts, civil rights, commercial litigation, copyright infringement, defamation, dram shop, employment discrimination, fraud, insurance coverage / bad faith denials, medical malpractice, private equity / shareholder disputes, personal injury, product liability, wrongful death, and wrongful use of civil proceedings / abuse of process cases.

We use alternative dispute resolution methods like mediation frequently and have experience in commercial arbitration, including large, complex commercial disputes.

My practice is largely unlimited -- at any given time, I generally have multiple cases representing people who have been physically injured in accidents or through medical malpractice, and multiple cases representing people and businesses who have been financially injured through breaches of contract, breaches of fiduciary duty, or downright fraud.

If you think you have a case, please contact our offices for a case review. We don't charge to review cases and we generally represent plaintiffs on a contingent fee, where our fee depends upon our success. Please see the Contact page for contact info.
