great advice

I contacted Attorney Flam several years ago regarding possible MCAD retaliation claim. Attorney Flam reviewed the documents and spent a good deal of time on the phone with me discussing the situation. He thought that, though the case had merits, the efforts required to prosecute it would have to be ...significant compared to potential damages/recovery. I took his advice and I'm glad I did. Thank you!

A Consummate Professional

Ben is a trusted advisor who is more concerned with his client’s well-being than “running the meter”. I have engaged him several times personnaly and have recommended him highly as well. He is extremely well schooled in employment law, generally knowledgeable,and is a fantastic negotiator. Ben unders...tands what it means to stand by his clients and deliver on his commitments. Bottom line, Ben is the “real deal”.

Efficient, effective and knowledgeable

I was referred to Ben when my employer of 10 years unexpectedly threatened to withhold a large bonus unless I signed an 11 page legal document. Ben provided much needed insight, helped me lay out a strategy and made sure I had the important pieces in place to execute on that strategy. His guidanc...e and insight were invaluable. Not only did I get the bonus with minimal risk to me personally, but his counsel helped make sure the relationship with my employer remained positive and never contentious. I would highly recommend Ben.

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!

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!

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.
