About Bennett
Biography
Bennett P. Dalton was admitted to the Oregon State Bar in 2005 after graduating from Lewis and Clark Law School. He received his B.A. in 2001 from Portland State University and attended high school in Troutdale, OR.
Bennett began working for Guinn & Dalton while in law school. Having identified with Mr. Guinn’s background and with the philosophy behind the practice, he was hired as an associate attorney upon admission to the bar.
Bennett’s practice focuses on representing injured and disabled workers in claims for benefits under Oregon workers’ compensation and Social Security disability laws. Bennett strives to serve as an equalizer for injured and disabled workers against the powerful insurance companies and bureaucracies that attempt to avoid paying duly-owed benefits. Bennett also handles personal injury, wrongful termination and discrimination cases that are sometimes involved with these claims.

Absolutely outstanding
A knowledgeable professional Bennett is able to give great explanations. Mr Dalton has stayed on top of my case for years. I had a great deal of anxiety and many reservations about what was next for me when I was injured. Mr Dalton's explanation of how things would work out for me has been right ...
