Before co-founding Benson & Bingham in 2004, Benson built a formidable foundation handling complex civil tort litigation. Licensed in Nevada since October 2000, he has successfully resolved thousands of cases with ample experience trying cases in Justice, District, and Federal Courts. When massive insurance companies attempt to undervalue a car accident claim or delay the process, they know Benson is fully prepared to take the case before a judge and jury. His sharp analytical approach is reinforced by top-tier legal training, including studying international constitutional law at Trinity College in Dublin under the late U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia.
Benson focuses heavily on complex civil tort litigation, with a specialized emphasis on Product Liability, Premises Liability and Medical Malpractice. He is known for tearing down corporate defense strategies, exposing negligence, and pressing the opposition to take accountability for the full extent of damages caused.
His results-driven approach has earned him elite, national recognition. Benson was recently honored among the prestigious 2026 Lawdragon 500 Leading Plaintiff Consumer Lawyers, a distinction reserved for the country's most effective litigators. Beyond the courtroom, his legal expertise is frequently sought out by the media, with featured contributions on local NBC and ABC affiliates, as well as the Las Vegas Review-Journal, among other publications.
