Excellent Attorney! He fights hard for you!

Ben Yormack of Yormack Employment and Disability Law is an extraordinary Attorney! Five star all the way! Ben jumped in at just the right time to help me in a very complex and aggressive employment case. Ben was able to successfully represent me in my complex case with laser focused skill and determ...ination. Ben was always responsive to my needs and very patient with my distraught emotional state. Ben provides extraordinary litigation with superb knowledge and skill. Ben will fight hard for your rights. I highly recommend Benjamin Yormack!

Honest and Hardworking Lawyer

Benjamin Yormak breaks the stereotypical idea that society has created for lawyers in a positive manner. Him and his staff are extremely friendly, easy to talk to, and great communicators. He set realistic expectations from our first conversation and his knowledge regarding legality of the subject wa...s outstanding. His staff was extremely supportive in getting the proper documentation filled out and explained what was necessary as well as why things were done in a certain way. He went above and beyond to ensure success and genuinely cared about my case and the success of it. I would recommend his services to anyone that had legal issues that he practiced law in, and if he practiced law in all fields he would be the only attorney I would hire for my services. I cannot properly express how grateful I am for having the opportunity to work with him and his firm as it not only changed my opinion towards lawyers for the better, I learned a lot regarding laws concerning my case thanks to his ability to explain it in a manner that I would better understand, and I never left a conversation with him or any member of his staff that made me feel like I wasn't properly being taken care of. I view him now as the gold standard for what I should expect from an attorney should the need arise in the future to hire another one again, and I know he will continue to bring success to his clients and leave more positive impressions on all the people him and his firm represent in the future. Thank you again Ben, your hard work and dedication to my case will always be remembered and I know you will continue to do well in the future and good things will follow you in life because of how good of a person you are.

Yormak is an excellent attorney that I would recommend to anyone

Yormak provided me with incredible expertise and recommendations on how how to proceed with my case. He was always available if I had questions and responded to me in a extremely timely manner. Not only did he get a positive outcome for me but he was very personable and I enjoyed every conversation w...ith him. Ben made everything very easy for me and I would recommend him to anyone that needed an highly competent and experienced attorney.

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.
