Ben is such a competent, brilliant, compassionate lawyer he should be knighted. But he one of the toughest guys (not just as a lawyer) on the street, in the courtroom and most importantly at the negotiating table. Ben spoke to me for an hour about my case just as I was retaining a Norwood lawyer. ...After winning probable cause findings Pro Se at MCAD I was exhausted, humiliated, financially compromised and unfortunately purposely being embarrassed as I had to deal directly with my boss, HR lawyers, 100% male work force and a very difficult work environment. I was so impressed after I spoke to Ben that I went back inside the Norwood law office, paid them for their time and took back my retainer. That was the best and the only decision I had to make alone ever again in regards to legal issues with Ben. From then on, every other decision I made included Ben's precise legal opinion, his carefully weighted options, his basic common sense mixed in with his savvy ability to read and react to opposing counsel and even the courts intentions or actions. Ben's rustic street smarts combined with his true friendship and compassion supported his being selected Best of Boston Magazine's top civil rights and employment attorneys' that year. The magazine said he was the young guy all the old lion lawyers sought out in employment and civil rights issues. Ben proves himself right at every turn and proved that Boston magazine hit the hammer on the head in selecting him as one of the best of the best of Boston's up and coming attorneys that year. Like me, you will know you have a legal guardian angle representing and watching over you each day if Ben agrees to represent you. Ben immediately takes your legal worries and burden off your shoulders completely, carrying the lot to fruition himself. It was amazing to see Ben preform on my behalf to my total satisfaction in legal areas needed by me. He not only saved my career, he propelled me into my next one, restoring my sanity, family and became my legal guardian angle.
