Here at our nationally-recognized firm, we have won over $2 billion on behalf of our clients and nothing is too complex for us. We thrive and succeed when presented with difficult, complex, and challenging issues at The Beasley Firm. Not only do we take on cases that other law firms do not, we win them.
The largest defamation award in Pennsylvania history.
Sprague v. Philadelphia Newspapers, Inc.: The largest defamation award in Pennsylvania history. The Beasley Firm sued the Philadelphia Inquirer and won $34 million on behalf of Richard Sprague, who was accused of quashing a murder investigation when he was acting as Philadelphia’s Assistant District Attorney. Tried twice, with the first verdict of $3.4 million, but when retried a different jury also found that the newspaper had intentionally harmed Mr. Sprague and came down with the record setting verdict: $2.5 million compensatory and $31.5 million punitive damages. This case lasted for more than twenty years and is a testament to The Beasley Firm’s tenacity in fighting for what’s right on behalf of those that have been injured.
