Superior Lawyer

Ben handled my case when it went to trial. He is a brilliant lawyer and is exceptional in the court room. He did an incredible job from start to finish. Ben's assessment of my case and what would happen along the way was extremely accurate. Ben is also one of the rare lawyers with an MBA. He underst...ood the financial complexities of my case and was able to craft the best financial deal possible. Ben is an extremely tough negotiator. He knew when to fight and when to back off. He went way above and beyond the call of duty for me, I was glad to have Ben on my side of the table.

Elite attorney with a heart

After disappointing results with my previous attorney -I was left legally vulnerable and emotionally drained. I am very grateful that a close friend referred me to Benjamin Schub. He is skilled, honest and kind. The service, information, advice, response time, results and overall experience with B...en was outstanding!

Great services and advice

Ben Schub did an excellent job working on a marital agreement. He did a great job drafting and negotiating the agreement, as well as advising on the meaning and significance of the various provisions. Ben also did this great work in a very efficient and cost-effective manner. I highly recommend.

Ben served as my divorce lawyer. He was trustworthy, knowledgeable, and kept me informed . His business background proved invaluable in my case. He was not inflammatory. He knew how to craft a fair settlement without going to court.

Ben was my divorce lawyer, and he was always available for me. He answered emails, calls, and texts at any time to put me at ease. He got the job done in a timely manor, he was kind, and very knowledgable.

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.
