He is committed to assisting disabled workers and veterans in obtaining Social Security Disability and VA benefits, with a special emphasis on cases where benefits have been previously denied.

In 2008, Ben achieved membership in the Million Dollar Advocates Forum, a prestigious group of trial lawyers known for securing significant verdicts and settlements.

Ben became a Board Certified Specialist in Social Security Disability Law in 2012, a recognition by the N.C. State Bar's Board of Legal Specialization.
