Simply the best!

Ben Flam is a dynamic, professional, intelligent, supportive, responsive and knowledgeable employment lawyer. He handled my hostile work environment case with a confidence and compassion that is truly unique. I cannot recommend Ben highly enough. You will not find a better employment attorney - Ben ...is the best! He exceeded my expectations (won the case) while also being great to work with.

Responsive, knowledgeable employment attorney with Integrity

Ben went above and beyond in negotiating separation agreement for me with former employee- 33% more than what they originally offered! During this stressful time he was courteous, professional and kind. He was extremely knowledgeable in employment law and responsive. He kept his word throughout the p...rocess and sets a high bar for integrity in his profession.

SVP & General Manager, Global Brands

Ben was instrumental in not only obtaining an equitable resolution to a very difficult situation but achieved it with the professional grace and tenacious accountability. He became a champion for what was fair and what was right, without the need for litigation. I am grateful for support and insight ...and will call on him again should the occasion arise.

Eagle eye for detail

I found myself involved in a nasty dispute with a former employer over a non-compete agreement that was overbroad and just plain unfair. Ben took the reigns immediately and through his extensive knowledge of contract law and keen sense of how to negotiate, was able to resolve a dispute which had bee...n going on for almost 9 months in about 1 week. I could not be more grateful for his time, dedication and attention to detail. If you have a dispute with your current or former employer, hire Ben to manage it!

Kind, Compassionate and Efficient

Benjamin is an incredibly compassionate attorney and helped me immensely in my case. He is thorough, intelligent and very efficient. My matter was resolved quickly and in the process, I gained a new friend. I highly recommend Benjamin for your legal needs.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
