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.

Wrongful Termination

I have never hired an attorney before. I was terminated while on medical leave with an exact return to work date. I knew I was wrongfully let go. I met with Ben Galante and reviewed my information and took my case. He always kept me informed via text,emails and phone calls. I was happy with the outco...me and I would gladly recommend him.

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.

Great Service and advice

Ben worked really hard for me. He was able to settle my employment claim with superior results and within a year. He was easy to contact at any time, day or night and kept me aware of everything that was happening with my case. His advice was well thought out and stellar at every turn. He made me... feel like I was his most important client-- always! I've already recommended Ben to several of my friends and would recommend him to family as well! I know that he will give them his undivided attention and best service. I would hire Ben again in a heartbeat. Thank you Ben for making sure that I was awarded what I deserved with integrity and professionalism.
