I'm an employment attorney, and I can tell you right now that if I myself ever needed an employment lawyer, Ben would be at the top of my list. He is an incredibly compassionate, thorough, and deep-thinking lawyer. Not only does he practice law for the right reasons, but he consistently seeks to understand everything in the bigger picture. That leads to him providing his clients with the best kind of advocate they could hope for -- a cause lawyer who thinks practically and fully dedicates themselves to his work.

Ben helped guide me through a really horrible and emotional work situation. He was dilligent with communication and gave me a lot of helpful and useful information. He is an incredibly kind person and I could tell he genuinely cared for me and my well being. I did not end up using his services but he was able to give me resources and point me in the right direction to navigate my specific situation. I would highly recommend working with him if your sitiuation warrants representation and you're looking for not only knowledge of the law but peace of mind and compassion.

I connected with Ben for an employment law consultation and was extremely impressed with his graciousness, frank and wise counsel and his overall approach to life in corporate America. I appreciate Ben as an attorney who gives all attorneys a good name.

Just from a quick phone consultation Ben was professional and honest. I talked to another lawyer prior to Ben that actually sounded like a car salesman. I just need advice and an honest opinion I got it from Ben even though I didn't work with him direct, a 15 minute phone call told me he is a man of honor, and cares.

Ben is one of the most outstanding phenomenal lawyers I have ever hired. His attention to detail along with his due diligence to find out extra information and follow up and ensure that the clients needs are met and exceeded his one of his cardinal principles. He takes the time to understand the situation and places itself in your shoes to understand your standpoint and really relates to you. He follows up on time and follows through every time

I RECOMMEND BEN 100% In my case Ben carefully and methodically understood my situation and provided clarity to the legalities associated. His process was to seek and present various alternatives for my consideration. Ultimately, finding solutions I would never have considered, supported the decision with facts and I ultimately received 50% more than I could have expected as a result. His pricing was clear, his effort was above and beyond the fees, he saw it through, he followed up....he cared! I recommend Ben and will hire him again if necessary.

I am beyond happy with my experience with Ben. I'm not sure where to begin. First, though, during my initial consult session, Ben went above and beyond to understand my situation and to confirm whether there were legal grounds. I was astonished by this; I was expecting a relatively generic and quick review. Throughout our entire engagement, Ben listened attentively and out of genuine concern for my situation. During the process, Ben provided sincere advice and counsel, even if it wasn't "stuff" I wanted to hear. Ben delivered loads of insight to make sure I understood all angles and was incredibly open, responsive and collaborative. As a result, the outcome was positive. Ben is a rockstar. I'd recommend Ben time and time again for all employment law matters, especially in cases where you are the underdog going up against well-funded organizations.

I have never needed a lawyer for anything in my life, until I did. The circumstances of a “Me Too” case is confusing, intimidating, emotional and overwhelming. Like being lost in a haunted forest. I couldn’t imagine a way out of the fog. The first time I met Ben to review the difficult details of my legal dilemma, I was terrified. Being in the situation was bad enough but having to explain it to a stranger was horrifying. It wasn’t long into the conversation before I felt completely at ease with him. His was compassionate, understanding and empathetic. I knew immediately that I could trust him implicitly. My situation was complicated, and I couldn’t see the forest through the trees. As we began to work through the details of my dispute, Ben quickly identified the crux of my case. Confirming what I had felt all along – that what had happened to me wasn’t just wrong, it was illegal. When I broke down, he kept me focused on the big picture and my goals. He was a sounding board when I needed guidance, he pushed me when I needed pushing and he successfully got me through it. I certainly hope nobody has to endure a legal battle with an employer, but if you do, you can count on Ben to guide you through the complexities of a legal claim with expertise, dedication and warmth. I have a long road ahead of me but I am forever grateful for Ben and everything he has done to provide a path to healing.

I cannot overstate, and I struggle even to articulate, how much Ben and his partner, Ted, helped me. From the moment I reached out to him, Ben treated me with respect and dignity, taking my case seriously and providing valuable advice long before we even signed any documents. Once the legal process for my case began to unfold -- what we could do, how they would likely respond to each of those actions, what our next steps would be, etc. -- Ben predicted each and every progression with stunning accuracy. At each crossroad, he provided honest, unfiltered counsel that allowed me to make the decisions that served me best. At no point did I ever feel pressured to go one way or another, e.g. to do what might have been easiest or most beneficial for him as an attorney. Instead, Ben laid out my options for me as a client and I knew, without any doubt, that I would have his full support no matter which path I chose. In the end, we avoided filing suit and reached a sizable settlement. The fact of the matter is this: regardless of the amount of money I received from my former employer, it is infinitely more than what I would have received otherwise. Had I not contracted Haller Kwan LLP, I would have received absolutely nothing, and been left with an interminable feeling of emptiness. Thanks to Ben, not only did I receive what I believe to be fair compensation for my wrongful termination but also a renewed sense of dignity and self-worth. I knew I had been wronged by my former employer. Ben believed in me and my case. He took a chance on me by working on a contingency basis. He fought for me and worked his tail off to ensure I got what I deserved. Hire this man. You will not regret it.

I was referred to Ben Kwan by another top-rate attorney, who said Ben was "one of the top two employment attorneys in the Twin Cities". After my initial consultation with Ben, I am convinced he knows employment law inside and out! He asked all the right questions. I work in Human Resources, and am very familiar with employment law. Ben was spot-on. I suggest anyone with an employment issue contact him, he's sharp, he's courteous AND helpful!

I was deeply impressed by all aspects of my consultation with Ben. I was dealing with a difficult formal complaint of racial and gender discrimination, and I came to Ben looking for legal information and professional advice on how best to engage the situation. Ben asked questions that got to the heart of my concern, listened very carefully, and offered exceptionally practical advice. From the ease of use of his website, the speed with which he responded to email, the clarity and transparency of his fees, to the thoughtful, warm, and highly reflective style of our consultation -- I was thoroughly pleased with the time I spent with him, and recommend him highly.

Mr. Kwan was a perfect attorney that helped me navigate the legal system. He made sure my best interest always came first, and that his strategy kept my views in mind. Not only was he a great lawyer and advocate, but I felt like Mr. Kwan was more of a friend.
