A lifelong Pittsburgher, Ben attended the University of Pennsylvania from 1997 to 2000 (including a six-month stint at the University of Paris, VII), after which he enrolled in the Duquesne University School of Law and resumed his lifelong-Pittsburgher status. He began his legal career in general practice, family law, and litigation but has been dedicating himself to labor and employment law almost exclusively since 2014. A profound amateur of history and philosophy, Ben sees his mission as one of assiduously safeguarding his clients’ rights and ensuring that the law operates as it should.

 

Ben lives in Swisshelm Park with his wife and three children, where the family enjoys spending as much time as possible outdoors in the glory of nature. He is a professed Secular Franciscan and past Deputy Grand Knight of the Knights of Columbus. He enjoys snowboarding, crossword puzzles, studying languages, reading books written in Middle English, and other nerdy “niche” endeavors.
