Benjamin Roberts

Founding & Managing Attorney

Ben has represented injured Texans since 2010, first at a prominent Houston plaintiff’s firm — where he tried cases first-chair, rose from associate to senior associate, and became the firm’s first partner — and since 2018 at the firm that carries his name. A fifth-generation Texan and native Houstonian, he focuses on 18-wheeler and commercial vehicle collisions, premises liability, catastrophic injuries, and wrongful death claims, and has represented injured clients not only in Houston but throughout the nation.

Ben started his career working for insurance companies. He learned how they value a claim, where they look for weaknesses, and how they decide whether to fight or settle. He decided that knowledge belonged on the injured person’s side, and it still shapes how every case at the firm is prepared.


Thorough preparation is what drives full-value results. Most injury cases settle without a trial, and Ben’s goal is always to resolve claims efficiently — but only after the case is fully prepared to demand what it’s worth. If an insurer won’t pay fairly, the firm is ready for the courtroom.

In addition to personal injury, Ben has extensive experience handling toxic tort and mass tort cases, including chemical exposure and smoke inhalation claims, representing plaintiffs in both single event individual claims, and mass tort events involving thousands of plant workers and nearby residents exposed to hazardous chemicals released from refineries and industrial facilities along the Houston Ship Channel and Texas City area. He also served as liaison counsel in the In re Chevron Refinery Fire, representing the common interests of over 17,000 plaintiffs who suffered smoke inhalation and other injuries in the Richmond, California area.


Beyond the courtroom, Ben serves on the Board of Directors of Arms Wide, a nonprofit committed to guiding families in the Greater Houston and South Texas region through the foster care, adoption, and kinship care processes. He also serves as Master of Ceremonies and committee member for the Houston Bar Association Fun Run, which benefits The Center for Pursuit in Houston. 


Outside the office, Ben enjoys traveling with his wife and their two young daughters. He is also an assistant coach in the West University Softball Association, where he helps coach his daughters' 6U and 8U teams.
