This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Excellent service

Mr. Treywick litigated my case. He did his homework well and that work allowed us to settle my case satisfactorily. The settlement I got was within the range I told him that I wanted to put in my pocket. He made it happen. He was forthcoming with the entire process and informed me on what to expect a...t each step that had me interacting with the defense. His hard work concluded with my getting a sizable settlement.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"In the past decade, Ben and I have been on opposite sides of cases numerous times, and from both sides of the aisle. Ben has always been professional and friendly, but also firm in his representation of his clients. He practices law the way we are supposed to, and it shows in the results he obtains for his clients."

Personal injury lawyer | Jul 28

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Ben is uniquely qualified to handle injury matters due to his having worked on both sides of injury claims. Like most good trial attorneys, Ben started his career in a defense firm prior to establishing his own firm which now assists those harmed by the negligence or intentional misconduct of others. He knows the tactics insurance companies use to limit the recoveries clients deserve. Ben has the advantage of being a local who can use is contacts to assist his clients and has the intelligence and drive to maximize results for his clients."
