He has experience litigating cases on behalf of employees at the U.S. Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB), Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the New York State Division of Human Rights (NYSDHR), and through JAMS Mediation, & Arbitration Services. He also has extensive experience negotiating settlement agreement on behalf of federal, state employees, and private sector employees, defending and taking numerous depositions and preparing successful oppositions to summary judgment motions.
Though he may not have realized it at the time, Ben’s diligence and passion for labor and employment law started while working at a summer camp in New Hampshire. It was there that Ben learned how to balance employee needs with workplace demands. He additionally learned the importance of clear communication, customer-minded service, and preparedness. One of Ben’s favorite parts about being a labor and employment law attorney is the continuing opportunity to hone and develop his legal skills. He firmly believes that the practice of law requires us to find ways to better ourselves, even if we think we are perfect.
Ben is a transplant to the area, originally hailing from Massachusetts. He quickly became attached to the Albany area while earning his undergraduate degree at UAlbany. His fondness for Albany stems mainly from the volunteer fire department he joined in 2015. He now serves as the department’s training officer. A graduate of Albany Law School, he took classes related to client counseling and advocacy, conducting legal research, and administrative law matters.
