Jumping into practice with the seasoned defense attorneys and former prosecutors at Greco Neyland, Ben quickly set out to prove his merit.. Ben is a lifelong Houston resident, and is the first member of his family to become an attorney. He worked his way through college where he would graduate from the University of Texas, Austin with a bachelor’s in Economics and a double minor in Psychology and Business Administration.. After finishing undergrad, Ben attended law school at Thurgood Marshall School of Law back in his hometown of Houston. Capitalizing on a merit-based scholarship earned from his undergraduate accomplishments, Ben was set out to prepare himself to hit the ground running once his inevitable graduation and licensure came to pass. After his first year of law school, Ben started an internship with Attorney Dustan Neyland. This opportunity allowed him to assist on serious cases, a far cry from the hypotheticals presented in the classroom. Such cases included the successful suppression of over 100 pounds of marijuana, not guilty trial verdicts, and practical appellate research.. As with any attorney at Greco Neyland, an understanding of what it takes to prosecute a case is paramount. Ben earned a coveted spot in the Thurgood Marshall School of Law’s academic externship program with the Harris County District Attorney’s Office.

Ben has found particular aptitude in utilizing the grand jury process to find success for our clients. A process avoided by many attorneys as they decry it a waste of effort which actually requires a defense attorney to work and not just “show up” to court.

Before going to law school I worked in construction, and thereafter in the oil and gas industry.  As a result, I experienced significant workplace harassment and discrimination.  Because of these experiences I dedicated my life to preventing such discrimination and harassment, (as well as the retaliation workers sometimes face when making complaints about such acts).  I focused my legal education on Labor and Employment matters, and after getting out of law school in 1993, I went to work in the Labor and Employment section for the City Attorney's Office in Houston, and then I went to work in Dallas for the largest Labor & Employment firm in the country.  I became Board Certified in Labor & Employment Law by the Texas State Bar in 1999, and in 2002 I started focusing my practice on helping employees that have been illegally treated in the workplace.  You will not find a lawyer that is more dedicated to protecting employees that have been subjected to illegal treatment in the workplace.
