This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Top-notch person, attorney.

I'm an employment attorney, and I can tell you right now that if I myself ever needed an employment lawyer, Ben would be at the top of my list. He is an incredibly compassionate, thorough, and deep-thinking lawyer. Not only does he practice law for the right reasons, but he consistently seeks to unde...rstand everything in the bigger picture. That leads to him providing his clients with the best kind of advocate they could hope for -- a cause lawyer who thinks practically and fully dedicates themselves to his work.

Ben is the most knowledgable, helpful, and compassionate lawyer I've ever crossed paths with.

Ben helped guide me through a really horrible and emotional work situation. He was dilligent with communication and gave me a lot of helpful and useful information. He is an incredibly kind person and I could tell he genuinely cared for me and my well being. I did not end up using his services but he... was able to give me resources and point me in the right direction to navigate my specific situation. I would highly recommend working with him if your sitiuation warrants representation and you're looking for not only knowledge of the law but peace of mind and compassion.

Ben Kwan - expert counsel on employment law topics

I connected with Ben for an employment law consultation and was extremely impressed with his graciousness, frank and wise counsel and his overall approach to life in corporate America. I appreciate Ben as an attorney who gives all attorneys a good name.

Phone Call

Just from a quick phone consultation Ben was professional and honest. I talked to another lawyer prior to Ben that actually sounded like a car salesman. I just need advice and an honest opinion I got it from Ben even though I didn't work with him direct, a 15 minute phone call told me he is a man o...f honor, and cares.

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.
