Thank you to those of you who helped us achieve the rank of Best Attorney(s) in Americus for 2025. In 2013, when I walked away from a career I loved as a firefighter to become an attorney, I never had my sights on such. To achieve this in a profession where it is impossible to keep every client happy, we are honored and appreciate those who left reviews that helped us reach this ranking.
I personally want to thank Mr. Peter Banse and Wesley Larkin for their undying dedication to me and our law firm. Yes, I say “OUR” law firm because the two of them and our staff have helped Beamon Law achieve this honor. Americus and Ellaville are home to me, and it has been an honor to serve my community as a firefighter/paramedic and attorney. Starting a practice from scratch has not been easy. Wesley joined me shortly after the doors opened five years ago, and Mr. Banse has been with us from the beginning as a Senior Attorney, offering his guidance.
As I set out on this journey, my focus was to prove to my children that you can achieve anything you set your mind to. In my first semester of law school, I almost failed out, and my advisor told me that the statistics were not in my favor. As I politely exited his office, I tactfully told him what to do with his statistics. After law school, I knew I would struggle to pass the Bar Exam, as I knew I had never been good at taking exams. I have never been ashamed to admit that it took me four times to pass the bar exam, as I hope it motivates others not to give up.
I wish to give a special thanks to my wife for supporting and motivating me throughout the process. I would also like to thank every attorney in the district and all the Judges for their help and guidance along the way.
Wes Beamon
