He regularly appears before the New Hampshire Department of Labor, the New Hampshire Commission for Human Rights, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and state and federal courts.An experienced appellate lawyer, Ben has also argued several appeals before the New Hampshire Supreme Court and the First Circuit Court of Appeals.

In the personal injury area, Ben represents clients in automobile accidents, slip and fall cases and product liability claims.

Ben has earned the respect of the judiciary, his fellow lawyers and his clients.  In 2013, the New Hampshire Federal Court appointed Ben to his second term on the Federal Court Advisory Committee, in which capacity Ben advises the Federal Court on Court procedures and issues facing federal court practitioners.

Ben’s fellow lawyers respect him as a leading employment law practitioner and regularly invite him to speak at seminars regarding developments in the field.  In recent years Ben has given presentations to such groups as the New England Chapter of the National Employment Lawyers, Association, the New Hampshire Bar Association’s employment law section, and the New Hampshire Adjusters Association on such issues as new case law governing employee rights and recent amendments to the law under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA).  Ben’s peers have also elected him an officer of the New Hampshire Association for Justice.  Ben has authored the “Superior Court Digest” for the Association’s magazine, the Trial Bar News, for the past ten (10) years.

Ben has been publicly recognized for his leadership and contributions to New Hampshire.  In 2008, the Union Leader named Ben to its “40 Under Forty” list honoring young adults who make New Hampshire a better place to live.  The Portsmouth Herald also recognized Ben in 2011 when the Herald received the Nackey S. Loeb First Amendment Award, citing Ben’s filing on the paper’s behalf of a Right to Know petition to compel the State of New Hampshire to disclose records of a police cruiser crash.
