John Benjamin Bireley

Ben Bireley is one of our most experienced commercial and civil lawyers. Now at Arnold & Itkin, he focuses his case on maritime accidents, trucking accidents, plant and refinery accidents, and other complex and high-stakes personal injury cases. Prior to joining our firm, Ben worked at a nationally-renowned commercial litigation firm in Houston. Here he gained valuable insight into how the best civil defense attorneys strategize, protect clients, and defend themselves from claims. He uses this insight to beat those same lawyers on behalf of our clients. Ben’s case experience includes complex multi-party litigation, handling claims against a dialysis provider under the False Claims Act, breach of fiduciary claims, and oil-and-gas contract disputes. Each of these cases involved enormous sums of money at stake, and Ben proved more than capable of ensuring the best possible result for his clients. By far, Ben’s proudest case as a lawyer was when he represented the Boys & Girls Harbor—a home for abused and neglected children—against the City of Morgan’s Point. He secured a multi-million dollar settlement for the Harbor against the city, helping them to continue doing vital charitable work. Outside of the courtroom, Ben spends time with his wife and 3 daughters, plays basketball (albeit not as well as he used to), and enjoys spending time on the coast.
