I care deeply about my clients and my work as a lawyer. I am so blessed to genuinely love my job and the people I get to represent. In 2012 and 2013 I have been named a Top 40 trial attorney under the age of 40 years old, an Up and Coming Lawyer under the age of 40, Rising Star from Super Lawyers, last year I was awarded the Membership Service Award from the Oregon State Bar.
It has been a pleasure to be a featured presenter on DUII Defense, cross examination of police, DMV hearings and jury selection. I have a passion for trial work and regularly have jury trials.
I grew up in Portland and attended Oregon Episcopal School. At the University of Washington I was named to the All Conference Team and the United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association Academic All American Team in 2001. After graduating, I attended the University of Oregon School of Law. During law school, I worked as a prosecutor before joining Thuemmel and Uhle as an Associate. In 2012, I became a partner at Thuemmel Uhle and Eder.
I have successfully argued before the Court of Appeals on DUII cases and received not guilty verdicts afer jury trials on misdemeanor DUII and Felony DUII trials in multiple counties across the state.
In my free time, I plays on a local and national kickball team, enjoy cooking, eating, traveling and discussing cases/trial strategies.

The attorneys at Eder Sturm Eder are fantastic!
I’m also practicing attorney and although I never wanted to be someone’s client, I know expert lawyering when I see it. The lawyers had clear goals and implemented strategies to build my case and also take advantage of opposing counsel’s mistakes. It was immediately clear that all the lawyers care ...

EXCELLENT care
Ben handled my case with patience, care and expertise. He inherently knew that holding out and playing the long game would be the better choice. He also knew EXACTLY how the other side would play their hand. I'm so grateful I hired Ben.

Above and Beyond!
I read good reviews about the lawyers at Thuemmel Uhle and Eder. Honestly, it’s hard to know based on reviews if the lawyers good or not. In retrospect, I wish I had hired Thuemmel Uhle and Eder right after the accident. I waited because I thought I didn’t need a lawyer. I was rear ended. It was...
"Ben stands among a select few trial attorneys at the very top of our craft. Not only is Ben a force to be reckoned with in the courts, he is also a teacher among experts.

I endorse Ben wholeheartedly."

DUII law is very specialized, and Ben Eder is an authority on Oregon DUII law, and respected speaker and lecturer on the subject.
