About Alan Ray Beard

I was born in Chicago Illinois, and had a great childhood in Chicago in a large family. When I graduated high school I worked three years in a steel mill while attending college part-time. I eventually joined the military to finish my schooling on the GI bill. In the Army, I worked as an operating room technician (handing the surgical instruments to the surgeon) for 3 and 1/2 years ina military hospital in Honolulu, Hawaii (a wonderful assignment as you might expect). As planned, I finished schooling after I left the military, and the GI bill funded my tuition all the way through law school at Southern Illinois University.I am forever grateful that I was afforded that luxury that so many others are not. Upon my graduation from law school in 1986, I returned to the U.S. Army as a JAGC attorney, where I practiced as a criminal defense attorney at Ft. Campbell, Kentucky for three years. Upon my discharge in 1990, I entered private practice first in Nashville, Tennesseee for three years, then in Chattanooga, where I have remained for the past 20 years. I love Chattanooga, and I am very impressed with the legal history andtraditions of our town, and the first rate judiciary our town seems to consistently produce. Having worked in so many other jurisdictions, I am keenly aware how lucky Chattanooga is to have such a friendly, competent bar, and fair, concerned judges. My staff and I try our best to honor and uphold the high standards of the Hamilton County courts, and we will do our best to help every client that puts their faith in us.

Hired Attorney Alan Ray Beard

I am extremely pleased with the representation that I received from Alan Beard during my recent divorce. His extensive knowledge of the law and years of experience made the most intimidating of situations manageable. He was easily accessible when I needed advice and could meet to go over issues at length with short notice. I had the utmost confidence in the fact that my interests and rights were being well protected. I will always recommend this law firm to anyone that needs legal assistance.

Hired Attorney Alan Ray Beard

My case required a great deal of fact gathering, planning, and legal research. Mr. Beard and his staff were more than capable of handling that. We successfully navigated around every obstacle which was put in our way. And in the end we achieved not just a good result but the best result possible. It is extraordinarily rare to get everything you want from a court case while working against the system. Mr. Beard is the only attorney who could have gotten that result. I recommend him to anyone.
