Beasley Allen was founded in 1979 by Jere L. Beasley. Mr. Beasley served as the state’s 22nd Lieutenant Governor and briefly as Acting Governor when then-Gov. George C. Wallace was shot. After leaving politics, Mr. Beasley envisioned a career using his legal skills “helping those who need it most.” The firm was established to provide legal service to both individuals and businesses who have been wronged by no act of their own, a protection provided by the Seventh Amendment to the United States Constitution, and that is a principal that still holds true at Beasley Allen. What started as a one-lawyer firm has grown to a firm of more than 85 lawyers and over 200 support staff in Montgomery and Atlanta, who work tirelessly to represent clients from all over our great nation.
