Michael T. Beason
Personal History
Mr. Beason grew up “out of the concrete” in Dallas, Texas, where he graduated from a private parochial high school, but he is a southwest Oklahoma boy at heart. Prior to entering law school Mr. Beason worked as an insurance claims adjuster for nationally recognized insurance companies. Silently hoping the law firm would fail so he could go “home” to Dallas, Mr. Beason realized a few clients and three (3) girls later that there is no better “home” than Altus, America.
