I was born and raised in Janesville, Wisconsin and I’m proud to serve the good people in our community. I’ve dedicated most of the last decade to standing up and fighting for people who have been injured because of someone else’s negligence.. I help injured people stand up to insurance companies and big corporations. I fight to make sure regular people are treated fairly. People come to the Paul Benson Law Firm because they are frustrated with dealing with an insurance company or are bombarded with unexpected medical bills and need someone to help them fight and win. They need an experienced advocate. I have handled hundreds of personal injury cases ranging from car accidents and premises liability cases to civil rights claims.. I take the time to listen to my clients’ problems and build a strategy to win their case. I will go over all of your damages, medical bills and lost time from work and then focus on holding the responsible party accountable for 100% of your damages. I have jury trial experience in State Court, US District Court and have argued before the Court of Appeals. Every step of the way, I will personally update you on your case and explain what is happening so you don’t feel lost. I believe communication is crucial to a successful attorney-client relationship. My goal is to take away all of the stress of your injury and get you the very most money that is available.. I love being a trial lawyer because I believe our justice system is what makes America great. Everybody is equal under the law. No matter your race, religion, gender, creed or social standing, you are entitled to equal protection under the law and a fair jury trial in front of your peers. I get out of bed every day because I desperately want to make our small corner of Wisconsin a little more just and a little more fair.. I graduated from the Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law at Arizona State University (a US News Top 25 Law School) in 2011 and was voted a “Rising Star” in the legal community by Thomson Reuters in 2016 and 2017.. In my free time, I love spending time with my family, cheering for our Wisconsin sports teams, bicycling, and playing in local volleyball and basketball leagues.. I look forward to working with the people of south central Wisconsin.

Believing that trust is the centerpiece of a lawyer’s relationship with my clients, I practice in the areas of business and corporate law (including business acquisition and sales), real estate and municipal law, and banking and collection law.. Businesses rely on my expertise for a wide range of issues, including corporate legal compliance, employment matters, business succession, contract review and drafting, and sales and acquisitions.. There are times, unfortunately, when businesses encounter unavoidable disputes, whether they are with an employee, a vendor, a customer, or a business partner.  When confronted with these difficult and stressful situations, I am able to evaluate the specific needs and desires of the client and always seek to resolve the dispute in a way that serves the client’s best interests.. I also offer extensive experience in the area of foreclosure and collection law.  Banks and businesses have spent years building and maintaining their reputations.  Knowing this, I assist clients in resolving their collection disputes in ways that are consistent with their community values.. In the municipal arena, I advise and assist towns and local government bodies on a wide variety of issues, including ordinance drafting and enforcement, the open meetings and open records law, farmland preservation and other zoning issues, and contract negotiation, drafting and enforcement.. Whatever the legal specialty, I am driven to help put clients in the right position, by working with them to define their objectives while utilizing my creative problem-solving skills to reach cost-effective solutions.. A native of Adell, Wisconsin, I graduated from Marquette University Law School and have been with Nowlan & Mouat since my admission to the Wisconsin bar in 2005. I served as Chairman of the Board of Directors for the Leadership Development Academy, Inc., and am past President of the Rock County Bar Association.  I currently sit on the Board for KANDU, Inc.  I recently served on the board of the South Wisconsin Chapter of the American Red Cross and have served my church on various committees and councils.  I am a member of the Wisconsin State Bar, the Rock County Bar Association, and the Wisconsin Towns Association.
