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.

Ben Flam will not only meet, but exceed all expectations

If you're looking for someone who will be dedicated to getting the job done for you, look no further than Ben. I cannot recommend him highly enough. He will not only meet, but exceed expectations while also being a true joy to work with. The first time I reached out to Ben was a Friday night at ...~9:30pm. I had just received an email from an attorney on behalf of my (soon-to-be) former employer. My response was due back to them by COB Monday, giving me less than 72 hours to find a lawyer and respond. I was panicked, devastated, angry, and incredibly confused. Enter Ben. Ben had been recommended to me by a close friend and former coworker. He had no idea who I was, yet still, within minutes of receiving my email, Ben responded and he even offered to have a quick call as he knew it would ease my mind. Within minutes of speaking to him, I knew I was in good hands. Ben literally spent that entire weekend working with me to compose and finalize an effective response. He went above and beyond to take care of me. Ben is by far the most personable, supportive, generous, responsive, knowledgeable and competent lawyer I have ever met or done business with. A thorough professional, I cannot recommend him highly enough. Ben truly is the best!

Biotech executive

Ben did a terrific job reviewing and advising on my employment contracts. He was readily available for discussions at any time and provided invaluable legal advice. Ben also led all interactions with my company’s legal counsel and did so in an extremely professional manner. I will definitely be work...ing with Ben again on any future agreements as the need arises.

An absolute super star !

Ben is the Drew Rosenhaus of attorneys. His confidence on our very first call made me think of the NFL super agent that all the pros sign with. Ben was so communicative through the whole process and not once did I ever feel in the dark about anything. It was so comforting to have someone with his exp...erience and confidence to handle my case. Ben was able to get money that was owed to me from a previous employer in less than 2 months. Don’t think twice - call Ben and you will be in fantastic hands !

Very helpful

Looked over an employment agreement for free and was great to interact with. I didn’t have the most complex case but he was happy to help and genuinely just wanted me to do well. Very prompt in communicating.

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.
