Benson is also the author of Tapped In: Lessons for Law Firm Growth and the host of Tapped In, a podcast for lawyers. In addition to his leadership and vision, Benson is an exceptional trial lawyer with a proven track record in both criminal and personal injury law. A former prosecutor who is Board Certified in Criminal Law — the highest designation an attorney can reach — Benson has tried more than 100 state and federal criminal cases before Texas juries, ranging from DWI to murder. He is widely recognized for his precision, preparation, and poise under pressure. Benson also has a unique perspective on personal injury law. While he now handles the firm’s most significant cases, he gained first-hand insights from the other side. Before starting law school, he spent a year working as an insurance adjuster — a perspective that now benefits the firm’s personal injury clients, whose lives have been upended due to negligence or wrongdoing.
