Attorney Information
Overview
Why did you become an attorney? The underlying education was the primary reason for the desire to first become an attorney. Obviously, to make a good living and enjoy what you do is the ultimate career. I found that becoming an attorney was half the battle; becoming a great litigation attorney involves mastering the art of legal persuasion, which is best acquired by trial experience and years of training. The reward of client satisfaction and obtaining a great result on a difficult case truly gives me great satisfaction. Growing up, I had a very strong influence with my Father, Joseph L. Benson, Sr. who was also a personal injury lawyer (recipient of the 2011 NJA Nevada Lifetime Achievement Award). He was instrumental in my decisions throughout my young adulthood and early law practice.

Verified ClientHired Attorney 2025On July 8, 2025, I was involved in a car accident in Las Vegas when another driver ran a red light and hit the side of my Toyota. The impact caused my car to spin and I ended up with serious neck and shoulder injuries. I contacted Attorney Joseph Benson and he handled my case with professionalism. From the beginning, he was easy to talk with, very supportive, and handled all communication with the insurance company which allowed me to focus on my recovery. He and the case manager Nellie Adami explained every step of the legal process and kept me updated about my situation. In the end, we managed to succeed thanks to their hard work and knowledge. A big thanks again to attorney Joseph Benson for handling my case. Highly recommended!

Verified ClientHired Attorney 2025In February of 2025, I was rear-ended by a taxi driver who ran a stop sign and hit my Ford F-150. My car suffered severe damage to the front end and was nearly totaled. The accident left me dealing with neck and back injuries, which made the whole situation really tough. I had to seek medical treatment and take time off work for my recovery. At this point I decided to hire Benson & Bingham Accident Injury Lawyers and they helped me deal with the insurance company and medical bills I couldn't pay for. Luckily, I had the pleasure of working with Attorney Joseph Benson, who managed my case with experience, confidence and was able to achieve the best outcome for my car accident case. He was very professional, explained everything with patience, and made the legal process less tough. The case manager Cassidy Kay was also very helpful, kept me updated throughout the process, answered all my questions promptly, and made sure all the paperwork and communication ran smoothly. I'm very satisfied with the legal services received and truly appreciate all the help and guidance provided. Thank you again!

Verified ClientHired Attorney 2025I had a great experience working with Joseph Benson. After being rear-ended on the Nevada freeway, I didn’t know what to do and it was also my first time dealing with a car accident claim. Their legal staff made the process so much easier and stress-free. The communication was clear and always knew what to expect at every stage of my legal process. Highly recommend this attorney and their staff at Benson and Bingham!
