Ben Ford is a great lawyer

A little over a year ago, I was hit by a car while on my road bike. The car was going the wrong way on a one way street, however, I did run through a stop sign because the intersection looked clear. Because I biked this route daily, I never thought that there would be a vehicle heading the wrong dire...ction. As a result, I was severely injured; my collar bone was fractured, I suffered a severe abrasion on my left arm, had a major concussion (luckily, I wear a helmet), and nerve damage to my left shoulder. After a year and quite a bit of physical therapy, I still cannot fully lift my left arm. Being an avid cyclist and rock climber, this was a major hinderance. Ben told me in all honesty that this was not a clear and cut case. I knew that I was in fault for running the stop sign, but Ben fought hard and we were able to settle outside of court. The settlement covered all my medical expenses and I received a handsome amount for my suffering. Every time I called Ben he was on top of it; filling me in on the details of the case and what was very transparent on what would happen from one day to the next. He was always straightforward and honest and, quite frankly, did not bullshit me at all. I am 100% happy with the way he and Marsh, Rickard, and Bryan handled this case. I couldn't be more pleased. I can't say enough. He's a great guy and a great lawyer!

Excellent For Personal Injury Issues

Ben Ford recently settled a personal injury case for me. Working with him made a very stressful issue much easier to deal with. He fought hard to get me the compensation I was due. Ben researched my case, made many phone calls to insurance companies and various medical entities involved. His profe...ssional demeanor and ability to negotiate was extremely helpful. He kept me updated along the way and explained everything to me so I had no doubts about the status of my case. Ben has the perfect combination of professionalism, intelligence and congeniality. I highly recommend Ben Ford for any legal needs.

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.
