Attorney Information
Overview
At a young age, Ben discovered his passion to stand up for those in need, and as one of six children, he understands the importance of seeing different points of view. He learned early on to treat everyone fairly and with respect, regardless of their gender, race or position in life. It's this mentality that drives him to fight for his clients to receive reasonable compensation from those who caused them harm.
"Many of our clients come to us because they have just been through one of the worst times of their lives and are looking for help. And many times, they haven't been treated fairly. We here at Marsh, Rickard & Bryan exist to fight for people in their time of need. When we take a case, it's full speed ahead. We make sure every one of our clients gets our best, from preparation to resources to the courtroom. That's one of the many reasons I joined this firm right out of law school. It's made up of caring and extremely talented attorneys and staff who do everything possible to get the best results for our clients."
