John Beer

Attorney at law

 ‘To me it has always been an obvious choice to only represent victims in personal injury cases. They fight an unfair battle against professional parties such as insurers, who have more knowledge, more experience and more means to protect their interests. Good legal aid can level that inequality and help attain a fair outcome.’
