When you need an attorney who will fight for you

Benjamin has been at my side in my David vs. Goliath fight for the past two years. His terrific representation levels the playing field. I have never seen another attorney that gives the same care and attention to individual clients that they give to their F100 clients. Having founded and served a...s CEO/CTO of a number of successful tech start-ups, the DMS team is my weapon of choice.

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.
