Details
An experienced personal injury attorney, James E. Beasley Jr., M.D., is a managing member of The Beasley Firm, LLC, based in Philadelphia. Focusing his practice on personal injury matters involving professional malpractice, trucking accidents, birth injury, libel, aviation accidents and business torts, he extends his services to people throughout Pennsylvania.
Carrying forward the proud legacy of his father, who was also an acclaimed attorney and the founder of The Beasley Firm, LLC, Mr. Beasley has attained the stature of an established advocate in his practice areas. He earned his Bachelor of Science degree in molecular biology from Temple University in 1990, after which he secured his medical degree from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine in 1994. In 1997, he secured his Juris Doctor from the University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School, and he proceeded to graduate with honors with a master’s degree in trial advocacy from the Temple University Beasley School of Law.
Mr. Beasley is compassionate about his work and strives to help his clients understand the specifics of his case, enabling them to make independent decisions. His in-depth knowledge of the medical field and the law regulating it make him a good choice for medical malpractice cases. He does not refrain from fighting a complex trial in court instead of settling if it is the right thing to do.
Rated “Superb” on Avvo, Mr. Beasley has 24-plus years of invaluable legal experience to his credit, gaining him a loyal clientele. He has successfully obtained more than $300 million as compensation for his clients in a variety of complex matters. He has been recognized by the Best Lawyers in America in the fields of medical malpractice law and personal injury litigation for plaintiffs. Knowing the importance of contributing to the community, he dedicates much of his time to volunteering for legal projects. His pro bono activities have also won him the Philadelphia Volunteer for the Indigent Program Award in 2009.
