Phenomenal choice, fantastic lawyer!

Ben was absolutely wonderful to work with, he's understanding, patient, detail oriented and a great listener — all standout aspects of what I look for in a lawyer. I had the opportunity to work closely with him during my class action suit where he kept me on an even keel and helped me understand wha...t was to expect during my deposition so I was comfortable during this experience. He was always willing to jump on a call and talk through my concerns, was quick to respond to emails and exceeded my expectations overall. Plus, we settled my case, so all-in-all a great outcome! I would absolutely work with Ben again and would encourage others to experience his committment and professionalism for themselves as well.

Great class action/personal injury attorney!

Retained Mr. Lopatin for help with a class action lawsuit. He did a wonderful job preparing me for the depositions so nothing caught me off guard. He was always available when I needed to talk, and he consulted with other attorneys to make absolutely sure we giving ourselves the best chances for succ...ess. The outcome was a private settlement that saved me a lot of time and the hassle of going to court. I would absolutely work with him again and recommend him to others looking for representation.

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.
