Ben fights for the everyday people who are often marginalized and disenfranchised in America. Some of his high profile cases include representing: Trayvon Martin’s family in FL, Michael Brown’s family in MO, and currently Stephon Clark’s family in CA.
Ben shares how he identifies and combats racism not only in pre-trial but also in trial matters with jurors that have preconceived notions or bias against a man or woman of color.
In the interview he explains:
- What to do before voir dire to learn about the jurors.
- How to question jurors to uncover biased convictions they hold close to their heart.
- The biggest threat to our justice system and how to make people see things differently to win verdicts.
- How to establish trust in a case with a diverse clientele and bridge the divide between jurors from different backgrounds.
