Civil Litigator, Bar Leader, & Public/Motivational Speaker
Houston, Texas Area
Benjamin is an experienced civil litigator for both plaintiffs and defendants, individuals and businesses alike. After starting his career as a solo practitioner for four years (two in Houston and two in Dallas), Benjamin joined a six-attorney litigation firm in Dallas and quickly became its senior associate. Upon returning to Houston, Benjamin joined an eight-attorney litigation firm, where he became its senior associate and practiced for three years. Litigating commercial, construction, probate, and consumer cases, Benjamin is known for his common-sense yet aggressive approach in representing clients and his professionalism and integrity in dealing with opposing counsel and the courts. Benjamin not only is trial-tested but also understands that most cases are over before ever reaching trial. Therefore, Benjamin uses pre-trial maneuvers to maximize his clients' position in settlement negotiations and summary judgment proceedings.
Litigation: commercial, construction, probate, consumer, creditor rights, and insurance.
