Praise for Jim Beasley and Courtroom Cowboy
F. Lee Bailey on Jim Beasley:
“If I had big trouble, who would I choose to represent me? Jim Beasley would have made the list of every Titan of the Trial Court who knew of him. He was top shelf, always.”
F. Lee Bailey on Courtroom Cowboy:
“Ralph Cipriano has brought Jim Beasley back to life, jumping off the pages through chapter after chapter. . . . Don’t start this one if you have something important to do early the next day. It’s damned good, just like its subject.”
Don King, boxing promoter, on Jim Beasley:
“One fightin’ motherf—er.”
Larry Kane, broadcast journalist, on Courtroom Cowboy:
“Jim Beasley’s life was the stuff of legends. Ralph Cipriano provides a journalist’s hard edge along with extraordinary writing. . . . This book is really one for the ages.”
Sal Paolantonio, ESPN correspondent, on Courtroom Cowboy:
“This book will make you like a lawyer and what lawyers do. What book does that?”
Michael Smerconish, radio talk show host, on Courtroom Cowboy:
“I love this book. . . . It is a fabulous read. . . . I see a movie in this.”
“If you are a lawyer or if you have a son or daughter who wants to be a lawyer . . . this is the book.”
Angelo Cataldi, anchor, WIP Morning Show, on Courtroom Cowboy:
“I have done nothing but read this incredible book since I opened it. Wow! Congratulations on the best read I’ve had in a long time . . . . A true tour de force. You accomplished what only the very top tier of writers are able to — a work that will provide immortality to the subject and its author. ”
William P. Murphy Esq., Pensylvania Law Weekly, on Courtroom Cowboy:
Ralph Cipriano did his homework and provides a penetrating view of his subject. . . . In short order, Cipriano gives the reader a palpable sense of Beasley’s power of persuasion . . . . . With an eclectic span of court dramas and an easy style, “Courtroom Cowboy” develops all sides of the Beasley persona and, in my opinion, oudoes even Louis Nizer’s classic, “My Life in Court.” . . . . Maybe the book will serve as an inspiration.”

I started working for Jim Beasley when I was 16 as a file clerk. My sister Donna was his personal secratary for about 15 years. It was called Beasley and Ornsteen then. I remember Sheldon Albert, Houston & Casey came latter. They were on the 5th floor of the Broad and Locust St. Building and Cameo/Parkway records were on the 6th floor. Beasley took rock & roll to court because of the noise Chubby Checker and Bobby Rydell made when recording.
Those were the days my friend.
JEB was as hard and tough as they come yet cared deeply about the folks who ordinarily had no voice in the corporate world. JEB frequently, tirelessly and with an instinctual skill became that voice for the little guy.
Anyone who wants to read about an American hero that marched to his own tune with unparrelled success in the courtroom ought to read Courtroom Cowboy. JEB comes alive off these pages and it was nice to be able to visit with him once more as I miss him terribly.
Thank you Ralph for the words that allow us to once again share in the celebration that is Jim Beasley’s life.
