A great attorney and great human being

I felt very supported, both legally and as a human being, when Ben helped me to amicably resolve an employment matter with my former employer. He helped me to avoid costly and risky litigation, while also taking the time needed to negotiate a fair resolution. That’s all I’m legally allowed to say gi...ven the terms of my agreement with my former employer - but I’m happy with the outcome.

The GOAT

As a business owner I have found myself needing his services twice. Ben is superhuman and will go to the end with you and I can't think of better guy to protect or fight for you. He is bright, articulate, works 14 hours a day, and an absolute sledge hammer in the court room.

Definitely a professional I'm coming back to

Mr. Flam helped review my severance agreement and he was exceptionally courteous, professional, and knowledgable. He helped with within a short turnaround time and I was left more certain and comfortable with the next steps. I highly recommend Mr. Flam and he's certainly my go-to going forward.

Rockstar

Benjamin bought a sense of calm. He came across as someone with deep values and it was a pleasure working with him. He is definitely someone to have in your corner. Looking forward to building a long term professional relationship with Benjamin.

Superstar!

Hands down the best attorney out there. I quickly had to get legal counsel and lucky for me, I was referred to Ben Flam. Without his help, I know that I would not have had the successful outcome I had. Ben was professional, personable and efficient. He understands his clients, very insightful and an... expert in his field. I appreciated working with an attorney that cares for his clients on a personal level instead of just handling you as “a case.” The rapport and guidance was outstanding at all times prompt, timely and open for calls and quick updates, and worked through all of my questions and issues on the case. I am eternally grateful to Ben for his service and highly recommend Ben Flam without reservation.

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.
