Ben J Himmelstein

This may be cliché, but I became a lawyer because I love helping people save money and make money. In the complex world of corporate and personal litigation, it is vital to have counsel that you can trust. I have earned the loyalty of my clients by offering personalized attention tempered with solid legal advice and strategy. For the past three years in a row, I have been selected to the Superlawyers Southwest Rising Stars list, a distinction granted to no more than 2.5% of lawyers in Arizona. In addition, this year I was selected as one of Arizona's Finest Lawyers. Just recently, I was also rated AV by , the highest rating a lawyer can receive.

When a business needs a lawyer, cost can play a large part in selection. Having represented small to medium sized businesses since 2004, I recognize the necessity to focus on the bottom line. Businesses priority should be to grow revenue, and legal troubles can certainly stand in the way. 

Each case or issue I work on starts with a conversation to determine the client's desired end result. Understanding and listening are crucial pieces to creating a successful legal strategy that resolves the issue as quickly as possible within budget. Above all, I leverage my experience in commercial litigation to create positive outcomes on behalf of my clients.

My broad background (spanning commercial litigation in a wide variety of matters including commercial real estate, construction, breach of contract, zoning and regulatory matters, employer and employee relations, contract negotiations, commercial debt, and intentional torts), ensures a single landing pad for small and medium sized businesses. By nurturing long term relationships with my clients, I am able to minimize costs while providing expedient legal solutions.

Specialties:Versed in both business law and general litigation, I use a forceful approach based on sound legal precedent to swiftly conclude settlement discussions and produce a winning verdict at trial. I am licensed to practice in the following:

• All Arizona State Courts
