Potential federal lawsuit

Ben was highly recommended by another attorney and far exceeded my expectations. After an hour long meeting that included his partners, Ben agreed to review my lengthy file and write an opinion for a nominal fee. The resulting five page analysis was impressive. It was thorough, well written, and c...learly defined my options. I had a difficult case to pursue and understanding this difficulty made it easy for me to reach my own conclusion that pursuing the case was a financial risk that I can't afford to take. What Ben did for me was liberating and, yet, if I decided to file a lawsuit, I can think of no attorney I've ever worked with that I would be more confident of a positive outcome.

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.
