"I throw myself into a case" Beard said. "I thrive on mastering the facts in a complicated civil litigation. I believe in being thorough. It's the only way to succeed, especially when the odds may be against you."
Many of Beard's cases are very technical in nature, which makes it his job to distill the information into a story a jury can understand. He has had cases that deal with product design and failure, and is credited with changes that make products and the workplace safer.
"I am comfortable in the courtroom because of my knowledge of the facts and the team of good people from Marsh, Rickard & Bryan that go into the courtroom with me."
It is imperative to be thoroughly prepared, according to Beard. "Success is driven by thorough preparation."
