Great Attorney

I have worked with Ben in numerous business contract related matters. His business knowledge and legal prowess is extraordinary. Ben has been very helpful in many strategic moves i have made with my Company. I would highly recommend him.

Posted by William | November 20, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Employment & Labor

Outstanding response in an emergency!

I never expected to be harassed by another employee at my work place. When it happened, I was overwhelmed. I'm glad that I turned to Ben Folkman, Esq. and his staff who flawlessly guided me through the steps necessary to document this with my employer. Ben is truly someone that you can count on when ...you are in a difficult situation.

Mr. Folkman represented our family in litigation involving a contract dispute. He did an excellent job and kept us informed throughout the process. I would highly recommend him.

A lawyer you can trust!

Ben Folkman is a lawyer you can trust! No other lawyer would take our case. They only told us reasons why we shouldn't pursue it. Ben took the time to listen to us, gave us his professional opinion and discussion, then accepted our case, a wrongful death case against our parents murderer. He pu...t a team together and went to work for us right away. During this burdensome time for me and my family, we were finally able to feel a sense of ease. When the trial began, Ben was fully prepared. He and his team won our case with a judgement that took the jury less than 30 minutes to decide. Would we recommend Ben Folkman? Ben's expertise covers several areas of law. We highly reccomend Ben Folkman and his firm.

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.
