Ben joined the firm in October 2000.  The following year, he became the head of the firm’s Medical Malpractice Section, which is responsible for a wide range of medical negligence and nursing home liability claims throughout the state in both state and federal courts.

He has more than 17 years of experience as a trial attorney. During the past 6 years, Ben’s practice has been concentrated almost exclusively on representing plaintiffs and their families in medical negligence claims and medical product liability claims.  He has collected millions of dollars in compensation for his clients in medical malpractice judgments and settlements and has returned hundreds of thousands of dollars to the Medicare and Medicaid systems as re-payment of past medical expenses.

Ben’s interest areas are obstetrics & gynecology, emergency medicine, ophthalmology, general surgery and the diagnostic process.

He is a frequent lecturer to judges, lawyers, adjusters, paralegals and legal assistants on topics such as medical malpractice, medical records, and trial tips and tactics.

During his legal career, Ben has donated more than 200 hours of free legal services to people in need through his participation in the Pro Bono Project of the Baton Rouge Bar Association.
