This man has been god sent

Ben was hired to conduct an exit stragedy from unbelievable hostile environment at the work place that took place for four and a half months prior. I was so very scared before I called Ben and I have never endured such treatment before. He helped me to take the emotion out of my situation, stated t...he facts, provided clarity and helped me decide the next steps that was best for me. He kept me strong when I did not have the strength. He kept, what was best for me, in his mind throughout this unpleasant situation and expressed it with compassion. He is caring voice of reason. I believe, my angels knew I needed him and worked hard and played a large role in finding him through his angels and I am so grateful for that. He is great people. Ben would shine the brightest light in the darkest moments of any potential clients' lives. He did mine. Thanks Ben!

A very positive experience

Ben is an outstanding attorney who truly cares for his clients. He is very skilled at his job and knows how to execute a plan to ensure that I received the best results possible regarding my case. I would highly recommend him for any legal matter.

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.

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!

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.
