Review Benjamin Schwartz

Great lawyer

Posted by

Attorney Collins was very thorough in his research and explained everything to me patiently. He made suggestions without being pushy or judgmental.

Best Lawyer in Delaware - Hands down

Posted by

Ben handled a car accident case for my wife and I. She was rear-ended by a texting driver and was injured pretty bad. Ben took the time to meet with us several times throughout the case and resolved it successfully. The insurance company for the young lady who was texting tried to deny liability, but Ben set the straight and won our case.
