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.

Don’t Look Any Further

Many time attorneys get a bad rap and all the negative things you hear about attorneys do not fit here. Ben is ethical, he cares, he’s professional and he will fight for you. Unlike other attorneys, he is extremely responsive and I trust him completely and thats really hard for me because I don’t tru...st many and have had terrible attorneys that I have dealt with in the past. If you are looking for someone honest and treats you like a person and will give it to you straight, go with Ben, you will not be sorry.

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.

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.

Professional, personable and effective

Ben Galante showed compassion for what I had gone through, did not pass judgement, yet looked at my case objectively. He is very strategic and does not get rattled. I was able to go about my life while he handled the case and he only consulted with me when he needed to, so I truly didn't have to thin...k about it every day. When things occurred that confused me, he explained things to me so I felt comfortable and informed. He made the witnesses feel comfortable as well and open to give information that truly helped the case. It was like having a good friend walk you through a tough time and take care of things. When the arbitration happened, he handled it in the same calm, strategic manner that he had done throughout the process and we sailed through and got an even better result than we expected. Mr. Galante made the process bearable and painless. I am so happy with the results and we avoided a trial.
