Ben Persons's Lawyer Endorsements

Kenneth Peter Crosson headshot
Kenneth Crosson

Personal injury lawyer | Jul 28

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Ben has tremendous experience and knowledge gained from being on the defense side of personal injury litigation, and he brings that knowledge to bear on behalf of his clients on the plaintiff's side. I frequently turn to him for advice or to bounce ideas off of him, and am consistently impressed by his depth of knowledge and his thoughtfulness. This is a great lawyer."

Medical malpractice lawyer | Aug 25

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Ben is a first-rate lawyer. He has extensive experience on both sides of cases and his clients benefit from it. Ben and I have worked several big cases together and I have always learned a great deal from just being around him. He is smart about how he litigates, he pushes hard when needed, and he knows how try a case. One of the best compliments I can give any lawyer (and it's definitely true of Ben) is that he treats every case with the same amount of respect and attention. The less valuable cases where he wants to help get the same attention as the ones where the settlement/verdict will likely be many millions."

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.
