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.

Ben Flam Is a Lifesaver!

I was in an dangerous employment situation, but too afraid to leave my job and take care of my health. Then a colleague gave me Ben Flam's number, and it was the luckiest break I've gotten in years. Ben swiftly took action to protect me, despite not really having the time to, stepping in to negotiat...e my entire separation as it was unfolding. He continually expressed an earnest desire to help good people, which he proved in kind from the get-go by taking my initial consultation call while pulled over in his car. His dedication impressed me, and the rapport he established put me more at ease during an extremely difficult time. He was cordial, but spoke with refreshing candor about my situation. He was so transparent and supportive that I felt respected as person, not just a client. Logistically, he made the painful ordeal a breeze by handling everything remotely. I wholeheartedly recommend Ben to anyone in an unjust employment situation. He'll stand up for you.

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.
