Since 1958, The Beasley Firm has set the standard for representing injured people and the families of people who have died in accidents or as the result of negligence. Firm founder Jim Beasley, Sr., was known as "the people's lawyer" because of his history of taking on so many giants on behalf of the little guy. "Philadelphia's version of the king of torts," was how Philadelphia District Attorney Lynne Abraham described Beasley.
