Honesty and Integrity ...

Ben was not only knowledgeable, but rather accurately able to predict the outcome that we achieved! He was fully engaged, communicative, detail oriented and thorough. He always represented the voice of reason and always with a very high ethical standard! The sort of lawyer you want on your team advis...ing you! He offered multiple pricing options that were all not only reasonable, but also quite flexible. Absolutely a pleasure to work with Ben and look forward to in the future too!

Outstanding advocate for short term family leave

We consider ourselves beyond fortunate to have been referred to Ben during a confusing and highly emotional time. Ben was incredibly responsive and sensitive to time critical aspects in requesting an employment leave for health reasons. He helped us to effectively navigate nuanced requirements, comm...unicate appropriately with all parties involved, and ultimately successfully return to work. "Effective advocate" in the truest sense of the phrase, we hold Ben in the highest esteem. He is an attorney who truly cares about his clients and their families.

Finally, an honest lawyer!

I worked with Ben twice. The first time, I explained my situation to him, and during the free consultation, he spent several hours with me and helped me figure out how to solve my problem on my own, and didn't charge me a dollar! Then, over a year later, when I lost my job, Ben remembered not just ...me, but even my kids names. He took the same great care to work through the facts with me, and this time, explained why it made sense to have a lawyer negotiate on my behalf. Working with Ben was a great experience. He not only kept me updated along the way, but was honest in explaining he could not guarantee results...even though he got me more than twice what I was expecting! If you need an honest lawyer who gets great results, don't think twice about hiring Ben!

Ben fights for you - so you don't have to

Ben is highly capable and passionate about finding just solutions in an employment dispute. He took my case and confidently mediated for a fair separation agreement, all the while expertly advising me on the situation and the best options that he would fight for. Ben is also highly personable, em...pathetic, and believes that people should be treated fairly. I was struck by his genuine nature and enthusiasm for doing what he believes is right. Furthermore, when it comes to brass tacks, Ben gets you the deal that you deserve. He did for me, and he did so within just 4 days. He took the weight and worry off my shoulders, gave me some friendly affirmation about my ability to move on to a successful career, and made sure that I received an outstanding settlement. I will definitely call Ben whenever I need someone to fight on my behalf. You will not be disappointed, and you'll enjoy the experience of working with him.

A lawyer with a passion to help people

When I was laid off by my formal employer in ways that I felt unfair and unjust, I contacted Ben to explore my options. As I started to explain the situation, Ben was able to very quickly grasp the key dimensions of my case. He educated me on the relevant laws and legal framework and based on which t...he different options I could pursue. Through the conversations, I found Ben both very knowledgeable and very trustworthy. Unlike many other lawyers I met before, he seems to care genuinely the clients' interest and well-being. My decision to detain Ben to represent my case turned out to be a great decision. He was very responsive and kept me informed all the way. I believe he pushed as hard as possible for my interest and helped me to achieve the best possible result. I would highly recommend Ben for any employment related cases.

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.
