Who We Are
Donald Beekman, Esq. (1949-2017), the firm’s founder, established his legal practice in 1975 and opened the current office at 47 Main Avenue, Ocean Grove circa 1981. He worked as a solo practitioner from 1994 to 1997. His nephew, Jeffrey Beekman, joined him in 1997, and they were later joined by Don's son, Christopher Beekman, in 2008. Jeffrey and Christopher continue to advance Don’s legacy and the firm’s reputation.
We are proud members of the Ocean Grove Area Chamber of Commerce, and we enjoy participating in community fundraising events and other activities. Being a family-friendly firm, our clients are often drawn from generations of families, yet we always welcome new clients and their families. We’ve grown up here, and continue to grow here, just like many of our clients.

Our town, Ocean Grove, NJ
It has been a joy to grow up in and now raise a family in Neptune Township, New Jersey. I have had the opportunity to work with different generations of my own family at our firm, in a place I’ve known and loved for most of my life.
As an attorney, it has been my philosophy to make sure our clients not only focus on their personal goals but also consider how those goals might impact their family or business lives and their community. It is often those conversations about how a client’s initial requirements may clash with their other life considerations that can make a positive impact on, and provide a personal touch with, our client’s decision-making, and also on the firm’s reputation.
This philosophy is embraced by the firm’s attorneys and staff, and it has created a reputation that enables our firm to grow with positive referrals and testimonials from both clients and colleagues. It also may be what separates us from other firms and attorneys.

I used The Beekman Law Firm to help me with the purchase of a new construction home. It's a little different than buying a home that is already built. Jeff was informative, easy to get a hold of and walked me through the entire process. I would highly recommend his services.
