Mr. Beacham is eastern North Carolina born and bred with a passion for helping the people and communities in which he grew up.

It is important that people understand that the law, and how the government’s implementation of it can impact them at a personal level as well as their families and communities. Mr. Beacham’s passion for fighting on behalf of individuals and businesses against the government has led him to work with numerous experts finding different approaches to make sure that individuals with affected properties have the best opportunity to recover from the government for what has been taken from them. He has tried several cases to verdict and used multiple presentation and negotiation techniques to successfully increase offers from the government; but also to make changes that could help an owner maintain a preferred or profitable use from a property.
