As described above, every professional interaction I've had with Ben was to my complete satisfaction. View More
Q. How do you know this lawyer?
  • Classmate at Law School

Ben and I meet while in law school together and I have known him both in a professional and a personal capacity since that time.

Q. In the cases you were involved in with this attorney, which of the following apply?
  • Represented Me or My Company

I engaged Ben to represent me and my wife in multiple real estate and mortgage transactions. I have also referred Ben to other friends and family members, all of whom have provided only positive feedback.

Q. When did you work with this lawyer?
I engaged Ben in different capacities for real estate transactions in 2012 and also in or about 2008. I have otherwise done business with Ben multiple times over the years as well. Always to my complete satisfaction.
Q. Was this lawyer an effective advocate/counselor and why?
Yes

Perhaps the best professional testament to Ben I can provide is that, while I am a practicing lawyer myself in a law firm with over 100 lawyers, when I needed a lawyer to handle my personal real estate transactions, I did not represent myself or engage one of my co-workers; I hired Ben. Those transactions went exactly how all real estate transactions should go -- as Ben advised me they would, smoothly and without incident or issue.
