Exceptional property injury attorney

Ben Cox represented me in a case that was long, challenging and complicated, Throughout the over 1.5 years that Mr. Cox managed my case, he was the ideal mix of professional, thorough and realistic, including during negotiations and trial preparation. Throughout this process, it became clear how well... he prepared for key events and how highly regarded he is by the legal community in Portland, OR. Mr. Cox successfully settled my case approximately two months prior to the trial date in an amount that was realistic, matched my expectations (which were reasonable), and was also fair. My career has required that I work and negotiate with attorneys on a regular basis. I can recommend Ben Cox without hesitation..

Ben went the extra mile!

My wife and I were in a car accident, I had pretty sever neck and nerve injuries. My chiropractor, massage therapist, and physical therapist had no idea how to handle my case so I was recommended to Ben. He got me the fairest settlement that he could. And when the money was delayed he even went and ...deposited it in my bank account for me as soon as he received the check. Thanks again Ben!

In sincere appreciation to Ben Cox

I cannot say enough about Ben. I was in an auto accident and had multiple injures making it difficult for me to travel. He came to my home and listened tentatively about my accident. He assured me he could help me with my concerns about medical bills and insurance payments during my recovery. He ...stayed in constant touch by phone calls or emails. He was sincerely concerned with my recovery and suggested a therapist to help with my physiological fears of riding in/or driving after my accident. Ben worked diligently with the physicians, hospitals (3) and insurance companies to reduce their fees allowing me the best settlement possible. He also only took a minimal fee for himself. I cannot thank Ben Cox enough for his excellent knowledge and diligence in giving me the best he had to offer and getting me the largest settlement possible. Truly the most memorable experience with Ben is while dealing with my healing process, I did not have to worry about any of the above mentioned issues. He told me to focus on getting better and he would handle the rest. He did. I also cannot say enough about his assistant Heather. She also was wonderful and a solid member of his team. My sincere Thanks to you both. Pamela

A Personal Injury Lawyer that does the best!!!!

Ben was very professional and did a great job that really helped me and my family. I was involved in car accident that hurt my back. I hired Ben in October of 2011 and he help guide me to seek professional help. He dealt with the insurance companies, making sure that bills where paid, that I received... personal injury protection. My car was totaled out and he made sure that I was paid. He went out of his way to help me with my questions that dealt with work ( not his job ) because I was getting paid long term disability and working with my Health insurance company questions. He would ask me how I was feeling and how I was getting along which nice. He made sure that I was feeling the best I was going to be before we settled. This took almost a year and he stayed in touch, returned phone calls, emails and looked out for my best interest. I wouldn't wish anyone the pain I went through but you would be smart to take Ben Cox as your lawyer. My family and I say thanks. He really will have your best interest covered.

My Trusted Lawyer

Ben was sincerely great, he kept me informed with anything new and helped me understand my case in words that understood. I trusted him fully and he proved that by representing me respectfully and keeping my health needs in priority. Ben is a very honest man and I won't hesitate to use him again if ...needed in the future.
