Ben is your guy. I had another lawyer before hiring Ben, and that was my mistake. This other lawyer was well known in the local Humboldt community but honestly he didn't actually do much other than tell me how much experience he had, and then told me he had a "conflict" and told me he couldn't represent me anymore. When Ben took over my case he told me I should be prepared for a fight. To be honest, I thought I might be in for more of the same (all talk no walk). I was wrong. Within a month, Ben had an offer from the other insurance company that was more than I expected. When we met to tell me, I assumed we were done, but Ben told me he thought my case was worth more. A year later, because of Ben, I got 4X what the insurance company first offered me. I'll tell everyone I know to hire Ben Mainzer!

Ben is an exceptional attorney who aggressively represents his clients. He prepares his cases thoroughly and clearly puts the interests of his clients first. Ben is an extremely ethical, honest attorney who enjoys an excellent reputation in the community. I would highly recommend Ben in a personal injury case.

Ben represented me on a personal injury case. I always felt like he knew what he was doing and he always made sure to let me know what was going on. He never sugarcoated anything, was honest about the good parts of my case and the bad parts, and made sure I was ready for my deposition. Even when I felt like my questions were stupid, Ben was always quick to respond with an answer that made me feel better. If you need a lawyer, call Ben!

Mr. Mainzer is an excellent advocate for his clients. He is honest and friendly while remaining a zealous advocate for his clients. If I were in need of representation in Northern California I would have no hesitation in reaching out to Mr. Mainzer and I know he would work aggressively to obtain the best possible result for me and my family.
