Profile

Jim Beasley Jr. is The Beasley Firm’s 21st century leader. Focused, resolute, and driven, his role at the Firm is to be a potent courtroom advocate and a manager par excellence. Jim, also an M.D., has worked on or tried some of the Firm’s largest cases. These include the $104 million 9/11 verdict as well as the largest medical negligence verdicts in the history of the state. But his overriding focus is to ensure that all of his clients are treated equally, fairly, and with respect. Jim has both his medical degree and his law degree from the University of Pennsylvania, and a Masters in Trial Advocacy from Temple University’s Beasley School of Law. He is a fellow of the American College of Legal Medicine. Like his father, Jim understands that the law is all about public safety, public welfare, and public policy. He has been a guest on television shows like Today and Good Morning, America and has been interviewed countless times for magazines, newspapers, and radio shows. For four years in a row, Jim has been named by his colleagues in Pennsylvania Super Lawyers. In 2006 and 2007, Jim was voted by his colleagues as a “top 100” lawyer in Pennsylvania. Jim Jr. was the architect of The Beasley Firm's winning strategy in Vlazny v. Cavarocchi, a 2000 case involving a severely brain damaged baby. The result: the highest medical malpractice jury verdict in the history of the state, $100 million. Under Jim's direction, The Beasley Firm continues to be the go-to destination for doctors, lawyers and judges pursuing libel, business tort or malpractice claims. In July 2008, Jim Beasley Jr. and Dion Rassias won a $650,000 malpractice claim on behalf of a local medical professor against Dr. Terrence R. Malloy, a promiment Philadelphia urologist. The case involved an inflatable penile implant that wound up in the patient's bladder. Like his father, Jim Jr. is also an accomplished pilot with commercial and multi-engine instrument ratings. He's one of a dozen civillian pilots licensed to fly alongside U.S. Air Force pilots at air shows around the world. Jim Jr. was one of the featured performers at the Aug. 20, 2008 Atlantic City Air Show -- "Thunder Over the Boardwalk" -- flying his P-51 Mustang over a record crowd of 700,000 spectators.
