Because of Ben’s experience and education, he has an insider’s knowledge of the defense bar.

Before attending law school at the University of Illinois, he was an Army officer for eight years, where he served in a variety of leadership and staff positions, culminating in company command. He had the privilege of serving in Korea, Iraq, Afghanistan and Italy. Ben applies the strategic thinking he learned in the Army to developing litigation plans that maximize the strengths of his clients’ cases, neutralize weaknesses and minimize costs.

In 2008, Jameson earned his Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering from Ohio Northern University. After witnessing firsthand the myriad legal issues that arise in construction, he went on to pursue his law degree from Ohio Northern University-which he earned in 2011. Currently, and for the past 5 years, Jameson has worked as a Project Engineer and In-house Counsel for a fourth-generation-owned construction company. He has had the unique experience of managing $25-$50 Million heavy highway construction projects, as well as participating in catastrophic personal injury and wrongful death insurance defense cases.
