PRO
I am proud to represent people and businesses that have been harmed by the actions of others. In the summer after my first year in law school, I worked for a lawyer in Kansas City who specialized in personal injury and workers' compensation law. He represented plaintiffs, or those who had been injured by others. I fell in love with the work and the clients. I knew from that point forward that was the work I wanted to devote my career to.
There are two qualities I bring to my practice which I believe are of great benefit to my clients---compassion and creativity. My clients are not a commodity or a business transaction. They are real people with real problems and I take the time to get to know them and understand how their lives have been changed by the negligence of others. I use my creativity to think outside the box and find ways to help people prevail against the odds. I get really excited when a legal theory comes to mind that will help a client win a tough case or when I unearth evidence that gives my client the edge they need to win.
I am married to Erin and we have two daughters, Isabelle and Ella Mae. We enjoy biking, hiking, working in the yard and church activities. We attend McCarthy Baptist Church in St. Joseph and serve in a number of roles there.

No longer just a practice, but a relationship.
In 2006 Ben represented me in a breach of contract case. Not sure of the whole procedure I greatly appreciated the peace of mind that he offered by sharing what I could expect before, during and after court.
