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.

Several clients express their appreciation for the representation Ben has provided them, and the results he has obtained, on the Testimonials page of this website.
