Retired

Highly recommend his and staff's services. Has extensive knowledge of worker comp law and procedures. Resolved an ongoing claim of eleven years. Offered multiple settlement plans. Kept me informed of developments as necessary. Had full trust in his skill with the results as proof.

Perfectionism at its best!

Ben Grant and his paralegal Heather are an incredible legal team. I signed on with them in 2018 when my employer wasn't wasn't paying what they should have been and missing deadlines, etc. My injury turned my world upside down. Ben made sure I was treated fairly and kept everything at a stress-free l...evel. He is a unique attorney who has great ethics, believing things run smoothly and you are successful by doing the right thing. I felt well taken care of by both him and Heather. I highly recommend him and will continue to recommend Ben to anyone who crosses my path needing help in his area of expertise(and I will emphasize expertise because he's the best I've seen). You won't get the care, professionalism, honesty and integrity anywhere else that Ben and Heather provide. They make you feel as important as family. Thank you Ben!

Worker’s Compensation case

I hired Ben and his firm for a Worker’s Compensation case. This is the first time ever being in such a situation. He and his staff were everything that anybody in my situation would want or need. Very professional very upfront honest. I would definitely recommend them to anybody.

Outstanding Results by Ben Grant

From the first time I contacted Kaplan and Grant Law firm regarding my Workers Compensation case, Ben and the staff were fantastic. They continuously kept me updated during the progression of the case, and most importantly I was given excellent advice which resulted in a successful settlement. I wo...uld definitely hire and recommend Ben Grant if needed, he is the “Best of the Best” and his staff are second to none. Thank you Ben!

On My Side

After being injured at work and my injuries left me unable to perform work functions and limited my driving capability, I sought out legal counsel. This lead me to the offices of Kaplan & Grant. Ben Grant and his team have many years of experience. When faced with a serious challenge in your life you... want someone on your side. Ben and his team were there every step of the way. For three years they fought for me. They helped me through difficult times of emotional, mental and physical setbacks. His staff, especially Ben’s Paralegal Heather Gosch, was always there to help me along the way. Ben’s legal expertise helped navigate through a very difficult process. If you need an SSDI or Workman's comp lawyer, and someone on your side, he is your guy! He fights for you! Thanks Ben!
