This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Outstanding, caring advocate

We contracted Ben Yelverton to aid us in our battle with a major insurance company. He was knowledgeable, friendly, always helpful, and down-to-earth. Ben assembled a case, spending many hours to go above and beyond. He also cared about us as people. Thanks to Ben's diligence and intelligence, we pre...vailed in a process of about 20 months. Ben is the best!

Genuinely Concerned about my well-being

Ben Yelverton took the time to listen to my situation, make recommendations, and give me the option of hiring him to represent me. I appreciate his willingness to listen and his genuine concern for my health and well-being. He has gone above and beyond the norm to investigate my options and to sett...le my case. He is dligent and detail-oriented. His attention to minute details has helped me tremendously. I trust him, rely upon him and would recommend him to those in need of an attorney.

Thank You!

I was extremely satisfied and impressed by everyone here. I came in the first time very nervous, and left feeling very comfortable. Everyone I dealt with was very professional. My case was taken care of pretty quickly. I know if I need anything in the future I would be coming back to this office.

"Ben was my mock trial coach throughout law school. He is a good lawyer and has the knowledge necessary to develop a trial strategy that will work for your case."

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"It is rare that a lawyer possesses the acumen to understand a legal issue and the communication skills to argue it zealously. I have known Ben for over five years and he is at the top of my list of colleagues that I go to for advice. Having worked with Ben in both an academic and professional setting, I have observed first-hand how he is able to dissect the nuances of a legal argument and use that knowledge to his client’s advantage. He is not only a sharp legal mind, but also a fierce courtroom competitor, able to speak passionately to juries, judges, and adversaries. Ben is an asset to the legal community and a true champion for his clients."

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Ben is incredible. Absolutely incredible. Not only is he a phenomenal advocate for his clients, but he is a phenomenal asset in the legal community, one other attorneys turn to for advice and insight in personal injury cases – myself included more times than I can count. He fully embodies what a personal injury attorney should be – dedicated, determined, focused, skilled, invested in his clients, and constantly advancing himself and the profession. I cannot think of an attorney I trust or recommend more in personal injury cases."

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.
