Amazing Attorney

I retained Ben to litigate a wrongful termination matter against a California entity. They were so arrogant and superior acting, basically dismissing my attempts to remedy their misuse of the law, and then letting me go. That was all researched and represented well when I brought Ben in. He methodica...lly presented my claims in a thorough and comprehensive manner, and we achieved a generous settlement without having to go to trial... I felt cared for as a client and fully represented in my case. I would recommend Ben to anyone in need of a real determined fighter.

Ben Galante did a very professional job handling my case, and got me more money then I expected. I have no problems to recommend him to anyone.

Profession and Passionate! Fights for His Client

I was weighing my options between several different lawyers and Ben was the one that actually listened and cared about my case the way an attorney should. He fought for me tirelessly and kept me through the loop the whole way through. I was stressed throughout the case but Ben was able to take so mu...ch of that burden on himself. He is punctual and delivers what he says he will. For anyone that has a case that is an uphill battle or would just like a second opinion I highly recommend Ben as your guy. I was more than happy with the outcome of my case and if I ever had to do it again I would choose Ben to be in my corner . Thank you for your compassion, courtesy, and professionalism. 5 stars for Ben.

Wrongful Termination

Ben was great in handling my case, explained everything as it progressed, kept me informed and updated in a timely manner. I had a lot of questions and concerns which he was able to answer and put me at ease. His knowledge and professionalism helped me to feel comfortable with the process. Ben worked... hard and my case was finished in a timely manner. I would recommend him in the future to friends/family that may need legal help in the future.
