GREAT LAWYER!!!

Ben represented my family in a case against a major corporation five years ago. Even though the whole process took a long time (and Ben said it would) I am more than happy with his services and the awesome results all his hard work got us. I would definitely recommend him to anybody who, like my fami...ly, needs someone who will really fight for them.

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.
