Biography
Attorney Jeff Benton, founder of Benton Accident and Injury Lawyers in Dallas, Texas, has built a distinguished career advocating for victims of negligence. Specializing in personal injury law, his practice includes motor vehicle accidents, truck accidents, premises liability, workplace injuries, wrongful death claims, and select commercial matters, such as breach of contract and deceptive trade practices cases.
Known for his dedication to justice and attention to detail, Attorney Benton has a track record of achieving significant recoveries for his clients, even in cases other attorneys declined to pursue. His fearless approach to representing individuals against powerful defendants has earned him widespread recognition. In 2018, he was named one of D Magazine’s “Best Lawyers in Dallas.” He also received the Dallas Trial Lawyers Association’s John Howie Award in 2013 for his unwavering pursuit of justice in the face of adversity.

He began his career at Locke Lord LLP, an international law firm where he gained experience in complex litigation, before founding his own firm.
