I enjoyed working with you. I thought you did a superb job for your client. You also did a great job of navigating the various lawyers’ personalities efficiently. I would hire you for my personal injury case, and I am a very picky lawyer.
Defense Lawyer in Maritime Injury Case
Houston, Texas
When we are injured and vulnerable, we must be careful who we turn to for help. I am thankful in my time of need I had Curtis Bickers and his staff on my side. Large corporations care very little for individual employees, often times treating people like machines. Sadly the voice of the individual is not heard. Mr. Bickers gave my voice power. He did not allow a large corporation to treat me like a piece of broken equipment. His staff was courteous and helpful through the entire process. Mr. Bickers set out his plan clearly from day one and followed through on his word. My sincerest thanks for Mr. Bickers and all those in his office who helped me in this difficult time.
Gratefully, Brandon H.
I write this testimonial about the attorney Brian Beckcom who help me on my case and settled it quick and obtain enough money to perhaps buy a business. I am very grateful with Mr. Brian and his employees and also happy above all with Cindy who speaks 2 languages and help me a lot when I didn't understand something.
Once again, thank you very much.
Sincerely,
J. Ayala Injured Offshore Welder Port Arthur, Texas
I, Rosie, thank you, Mr. Curtis, for doing such a wonderful job for me, because without you, it would have never happen.
-Rosie T.
First of all, I want to thank my attorney and his secretary for the kindness I was treated with. I want to express my gratitude because they valued my rights without discriminating my race, color, or religion. It is always good to have people like them stand up and speak for us humble people. I am delighted with this firm and thank all the wonderful people within. I will always keep them in my prayers so God will always bless them.

Dear Mr. Beckcom:
I never got a chance to say thank you for the wonderful job you did on my daughter's case. She will be graduating in June from High School with cum laude status. She will be attending college at U.T. Austin and majoring in Communications. Thanks to your efforts her college education has been taken care of. Thank you again from both of us.
J. Perez
Houston, Texas
Mr. Beckcom fought diligently on my behalf against my former employer, without a retainer from me. He was reassuring and easy to communicate with and always made me feel like I had a true ally, which was important to me as we went up against a team of lawyers working for a multi-million dollar company. I was truly grateful to have Mr. Beckcom on my side and would recommend him to anyone without reservation.

I hired Brian Beckcom in 2009 for the injury case I had after I was hurt as a deckhand and within 11 months Brian had settled my case. He did such a fabulous job and I recommend using his firm for your maritime injury case. J. McKeone, Deckhand
Livingston, Texas
Brian and his staff are courteous and professional, and they work diligently to make sure the client transitions through the process as easily and comfortably as possible. Your sincere and satisfied client.
Steve T. Houston, Texas
I was hurt on a boat offshore. Brian and his law firm worked hard on my case. They helped ease my concerns and stabilized my world when it was very uncertain. Brian stepped in and made everything go as smoothly as possible. He got me the medical attention I needed as well.
The settlement he got for me will take care of my financial needs for the rest of my life. If you are looking for someone to take your interests at heart Brian and his law firm can give you the attention your case deserves.
Tim M.
Austin, Texas
I hired Brian after I was hurt on an offshore oil platform. The company wasn't taking care of my medical care and I was losing a lot of money not being able to work. Brian was able to get the company to pay me a large settlement in less than 12 months.
I would recommend Brian and his law firm to anyone who needed a good injury lawyer, and especially to any offshore worker who needed someone who knew how to beat the offshore companies in Court.
Jackie R,
Houston, Texas
There are only a small number of attorneys who could handle such a complex case as mine, and Brian was at the top of the list. His response time is unsurpassed, replying within minutes to my initial enquiry. he has an instinctive understanding of the legal issues, and consummate people skills, an essential attribute in the negotiation phase of any litigation. Thanks to Brian the case was settled favorably within a year.

Brian, your book was a real eye-opener. If I had read your book sooner, I would have avoided a lot of costly mistakes. They really have a "bag" of tricks waiting on an injured worker. I found everything in your book to be true. These companies have a "kennel of pit bull attorneys" who attack injured workers legally, and use every trick in the book to keep from paying medical bills.
Captain Jim Vickers
I was hurt on an offshore oil rig. I was unable to work or get proper medical care from the company. I was referred to Brian by another law firm because that firm knew Brian specialized in Jones Act cases. Brian settled my case in less than 12 months. The settlement will enable me to take care of my family financially for a long time. I would highly recommend Brian and his firm to any injured worker.
