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.

Posted by Renae | February 22, 2019 | Wrongful Termination

Saved my career

I honestly can’t begin to describe how incredibly thankful I am for Ben. I was wrongly fired by a company in which I didn’t even have a blemish on my record in 4 years. I had given 60-80 hours a week to this company and always tried to help with picking up shifts if they were in a bind. I was just ...going to let it go, knowing I could easily get a job somewhere else in that field, especially considering the recent rumors surrounding the company were not of a company I’d want to even be employed by anyway. But when I found out that my termination had jeopardized my chance to achieve my dream career, I had to take steps to remediate the situation. I had no idea what to do so I googled local lawyers, saw the high ratings for Gordon Law Group, sent a consultation message, and was contacted by Ben that very day. Ben could’ve easily gone the money route and built a case to get both of us paid, but instead he had my well-being in mind and gave me advice that literally saved my career. As nice as it would’ve been to get some compensation, Ben advised me to look at the bigger picture. A month after taking Ben’s advice, a new opportunity arose that was even better than the first. And because I took Ben’s advice instead of fighting for money, I’m now working my dream job. All this to say, Ben isn’t only a good lawyer, he has the well-being of his client in mind as well, which honestly, is a rare trait in successful lawyers. I’m incredibly grateful that Ben was the lawyer that contacted me that day, and I truly owe the success of my career to him.

ABSOLUTELY, WITHOUT A DOUBT!

From the first conversation with Ben, I knew I picked the right lawyer for what my son and I required. Ben is Relentless, full of energy, professional, clever, positive, knowledgeable, and he makes you feel like part of his family. We are very grateful for his assistant. I would not hesitate to reach... out to Ben again. You can bet I will refer my friends and family to Ben any time an attorney is needed. If there were 50 starts here, he would score a 50. Thank you Ben. H&B :0)

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.
