The best choice I made after my accident!

Just over a year ago I was involved in a car accident. I was hit by an uninsured driver and was injured. I had no idea where to begin getting the help I needed, and even though I had insurance - they were not nearly as helpful as Ben Arsenian. When Ben stepped in, he immediately found me the medical ...care I needed at no cost out of my pocket. Not only did he find me a doctor but he found me an INCREDIBLE doctor. Throughout every step of the process Ben was knowledgeable, helpful, and extremely prompt. Whenever I had a question, it was answered quickly and thoroughly. He kept me up to speed on the entire process and made everything so easy on me. He handled everything that related to my injury and dealt with my insurance. Once he got me a settlment (that was beyond my expectation!) he also handled all the disbursement of payment to my doctors and everyone else involved so that I didn't have to deal with any of it. Hiring Ben was the best choice I could have possibly made after my accident. I have referred him to friends and will continue to refer him. I hope I never have to use him again - but if anything like this comes up again - I know I will call Ben because I can trust him and rely on him for the help I need.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
