Amazing writing

Ben is a very bright, sensitive and caring man. He does incredible research. Everyone of his write-ups for my complaint (charges, complaints, rebuttals etc) struck fear into the opposition. They were far better than anything they responded with which just made the opposition get dumber and meaner. Be...n anticipated their reactions. He tactics and approach were very carefully thought out. Ben is a great man to have on your side.

A Staunch Advocate!

I randomly found Benjamin Flam online when I was searching for someone with employment law expertise. I was drawn to the fact that Ben and the firm are dedicated solely to employee advocacy, rather than representing employers. To me, this purposeful differentiation sent a clear message as to which ...side they are on, and eliminates any potential conflict of interest. When I first ventured an introductory call to Ben, I was unsure what to do and unaware of my options. Ben listened patiently, asked relevant questions, quickly grasped the nuances of my corporate environment and engaged in a genuine dialogue that demonstrated not only his legal expertise, but also his level of care and compassion for his clients. His candid approach and client-centric focus put me at ease immediately. Ben provided solid advice and solutions for a course of action that was targeted to my unique scenario. During a difficult time in my life, Ben seemed to lift the burden from my shoulders and place it completely on his. He managed every aspect and kept me informed. I found him to be a quick thinker, strategic, and a worthy negotiator. He earned my trust and was resolute in looking out for my best interests. Throughout, Ben greatly surpassed my expectations in the level of customer service, responsiveness and compassion he demonstrated by his actions as my legal representative. He returned calls and emails in a timely manner, often surprising me with a response after 5:00 pm or during the weekend. He is straightforward, diligent and sincere in efforts to help you win, yet simultaneously, move forward in a positive manner. At times, his sage advice was almost therapeutic. I feel lucky to have stumbled upon Benjamin Flam, and along the way, I found him to be a person of integrity, dedication and principled conviction. He is a staunch advocate that you will definitely want on your side.

Excellent Service

I retained Mr. Flam a little over a year ago and found his services to be top notch in every way!! I found Mr. Flam to be professional, courtious and extremely responsive. He also goes the extra mile to work with the client and the firm he works for to come to an agreement that works for both. Be...ing a single mom times were tight and he worked hard to help get me the best agreement. And he won my case!!! I highly recommend Mr. Flam to anyone in need, you will not be disappointed.

Glad that I worked with him

Benjamin Flam was not only my lawyer, but he was extremely supportive, like a friend, at a critical situation when I really needed to consult a knowledgeable and trustworthy lawyer. He is an energetic and determined individual who did keep me informed at each stage throughout the process until absolu...tely my case was successfully resolved with desired results. I would surely recommend him to a friend, as I would once again seek his help/advice in a similar case.

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
