MCU Specialist

He has a feel for what the carrier needs. He assists in developing the litigation strategy and he carries out plan. He does not surprise me with late facts, witnesses or change in evaluations that was or should have been known earlier. He has a great legal mind and is very proactive.

William Benson

Bill is an excellent lawyer. He handles my catastrophic cases in a very thorough, detailed manner and is able to get excellent results either via mediation or trial. I have worked with Bill over 15 years and never was I disappointed. He is also very open to suggestions and corroboration at all sta...ges of the case.

Relationship: Worked for lawyer

"I worked for Bill Benson for more than 5 years. During that time, I learned a number of valuable skills from Bill that still benefit me today, and which I believe I will utilize for the remainder of my career. In addition to being very smart, Bill is incredibly practical. If I even need a litigator to represent me, I would not hesitate to hire Bill."
