Walter Benson is a man of integrity and compassion.  He is widely regarding as one of the best civil trial lawyers in New York State.  He speaks to jurors’ minds and sense of justice, and they listen.  His reputation and results are such that attorney and former client referrals account for the majority of his pending cases.

Walter joined the Lynn Law Firm in 2001, bringing with him extensive personal injury experience, gained throughout New York State – including the New York City Metropolitan Area, the Southern Tier, and Central, Western, and Northern New York.  He continues to try cases across the State today.

His legal career began at the New York City Corporation Counsel defending the City of New York.  He rose to the level of Senior Trial Attorney in the Special Trial Unit, responsible for handling the highest exposure cases (catastrophic injuries; death; and extensive media publicity cases involving police shootings, civil rights claims, police chases, medical malpractice, and grievous personal injuries). In 1985, he joined Queller & Fisher, where he devoted himself to litigation of plaintiff’s personal injury claims. In 1998, Mr. Benson opened a law office in Elbridge, NY to serve the Central New York community.
