Civil rights lawyer | Dec 24

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Benjamin Haile is a thoughtful, principled, compassionate and highly effective attorney. Benjamin's law practice is dedicated to standing up for the dignity and liberty of individuals against abuse and mistreatment by the state. He lives the phrase, "be the change you want to see in the world" by taking cases that matter and change things for the better -- from changing police and jail policy to recovering a multimillion dollar settlement for medical neglect. When my clients' civil rights are violated, I tell them to call Benjamin first."

Civil rights lawyer | Nov 05

Relationship: Worked for lawyer

"If you need help because your rights have been violated, Ben is the lawyer for you. People often use the terms "tireless advocate," without really analyzing what the words mean. Mr. Haile embodies these words. He really believes in the causes he fights for, and stands for all of us in his pursuit of justice and keeping the government honest. I absolutely recommend him. He fights for us all."

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.
