Highly recommend!

Ben is an exceptional employment attorney. Not only did he truly believe in my case and fought hard for me, but he was kind and patient with me throughout the process. He explained each step of the legal proceedings, answered all of my questions, and responded to my emails/text messages in a timely m...anner. I cannot recommend him enough.

Great consultation and expertise

I reached out to Ben for some insight on an issue I'm having with my employer. He provided me with some great advice and threw out a few different options and outcomes. Best of all, this came at no charge. I highly recommend Ben to anyone going through employment issues!

Direct, Compassionate & Exceptional Attorney

Ben guided me through a very difficult employment situation in a manner that provided me with clear, easy to understand legal counsel, security, and protection. With his experience and insightful advice, I felt a sense of peace at the eventual resolution of the issue. Ben is personable, caring while ...also being direct in sharing all options on the table. I highly recommend Ben as an attorney that is impactful, efficient and effective.

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.

Exceptional Attorney

Ben represented me and provided legal counsel for an employment issue I was dealing with. What first drew me to Ben was the fact he took my initial call, without having to submit any legal forms or intake documentation. I appreciated the fact that he took the time to listen and address all my issue...s and concerns with an unbiased, pressure free opinion. During the initial phases of the case, Ben was very clear, upfront and honest about the legal process, which set my expectations moving forward. I always felt very well prepared every step of way, never feeling caught of guard. Ben handled himself professionally, and his experience and background in the field proved to be very valuable in achieving a positive outcome. On a personal level, I appreciate the advice and guidance Ben provided throughout the duration of my case. I was going through a difficult time in my life, and he provided practical, sound advice, which helped me make the best, informed decisions for myself. I honestly could not have gotten through my situation without his help and guidance. I am truly grateful for all of his time, energy, and support.
