Next Level

After 8 years of trying to settle an injury claim, we hired Ben's team. This took us to the next level of seeing justice and a settlement. Ben's team is down to earth, personable and cares for their clients! We always felt confident we were in the best hands! He knows his law and will work hard for h...is clients!

Excellent teammate/co-counsel

Ben jumps to it for depos and client calls, etc - he's a great teammate and co-counsel and I highly recommend partnering with him if you need trial counsel for a state in which he's licensed.

One of the best malpractice attorneys in the business!

Attorney Novotny was, without question, instrumental in seeing my wife’s malpractice case through to its success. Attorney Novotny will be the first to tell you that malpractice cases are an uphill battle from the outset and, to be successful, attention to detail, among many other things, matters.... Fortunately, for our family, having an attorney in your corner who prides himself on this very quality is pivotal. Attorney Novotny’s attention to detail was no more apparent than during trial preparations. Countless hours were spent meticulously covering all areas of the case to ensure we were comfortable with the plan put forth. It didn’t matter if this meant revisiting topics multiple times, Attorney Novotny was always there to support us every step of the way. Looking back over our two-week trial, Attorney Novotny demonstrated great poise, confidence, preparedness, attention to detail, and ability to connect with jurors, all which were contributing factors to our family’s case being decided favorably. Additionally, his previous experiences involving negotiations also proved beneficial both during trial as well as at the Appellate level. While I’ll be the first to admit the process of enduring a malpractice case can seem overwhelming, oftentimes resulting in families revisiting emotional life-changing events, having an attorney on your side who truly cares for the families he represents and someone who is vested in their advocacy can make all the difference in the world. In all honesty, being represented by Attorney Novotny was the best thing that ever happened to my family, given the circumstances involved, and if it wasn’t for his tireless efforts we wouldn’t be where we are today. He understands all that the families endure during the legal proceedings and is very much transparent with respect to the legal process itself, all the while conveying as realistic a perspective as possible. Over the years that our case was being litigated, I could always count on Attorney Novotny to address any questions or concerns I had related to the case. Attorney Novotny is first and foremost a dedicated person who takes great pride in his profession and is very passionate about the families he represents. It’s for this very reason that Ben has become a big part of our lives, even after our case concluded, and is also why I’m happy to consider him a friend.

Excellent and professional lawyer who got exceptional results for me and my family

Wonderful experience; even better results. Attorney Novotny was very professional, personable and did an exceptional job representing me and my family. I spoke with another attorney prior to deciding to go with Ben. He told me that my case should settle, and spit balled a number. It just didn’t feel ...right. Then, I read up on Ben and his accomplishments. I thought it was amazing how much he has accomplished for his age and he is an unbelievably talented trial attorney. I decided to meet with him. Ben was very honest and great at managing my and my family's expectations. The fact that he wasn't jumping to settle our claim off the bat and was willing to work the case up as if it were to go to trial set him above the other lawyer. I know this extra effort plus his trial record only increased the value of my case. I'm sure he has many cases and we only had one, but he treated us and the story of what happened to me/what my family went through as if it was the only case he was managing. His attention to detail, compassion, and willingness to take the time to get to know us shined through in front of the jurors. My family and I were very nervous to go to trial, but with him, we felt at ease. We wouldn't change our decision to fight on in the courtroom for the world - justice was served. I would recommend Ben to anyone looking for an attorney who is truly a triple threat in the law world. My family and I couldn't be more impressed or happier with our decision.
