Benjamin Soffer

About

EXPERIENCE.  I have been a litigation attorney for 23 years.  I am an excellent lawyer who has extensive civil litigation experience in various areas.  My experience includes contract law, business and commercial disputes, personal injury, products liability, and employment law.  I have successfully represented clients in federal and state courts in California, in business litigation matters involving fiduciary duties, trade secrets, and other business torts; contract disputes in a wide range of industries, including insurance, advertising, securities, commercial real estate, aviation, construction, food & beverage, and websites; personal injury and wrongful death cases involving asbestos-containing products (toxic tort); and serious accidents involving aircraft, trucks, buses, automobiles, seat belts, construction equipment, industrial machinery, and other products.  I have also represented businesses and individuals in employment cases.  I give back to my community through my pro bono representation of indigent clients.
Before founding The Soffer Law Firm, I was a partner at Perkins Coie LLP -- a prominent national law firm with more than 1,000 lawyers.
When you hire me, you get a highly experienced lawyer with the pedigree and credentials of a "Big Law" lawyer at far lower rates.
EDUCATION.  I am admitted to the California State Bar.  I graduated from Loyola Law School Los Angeles with honors (in the top 5% of his class), and was a member of the Order of the Coif and St. Thomas More honor societies.  I have a bachelor of science degree in civil engineering from Penn State University, and had careers in project and construction engineering, and computer programming, before embarking on my career as an attorney.
PERSONAL.  When I am not zealously representing my clients, I enjoy devoting time to my family, cooking, traveling, photography, and spending too much time following the English Premier League.
