Benjamin A. Webster
Benjamin has helped business clients win tens of millions of dollars in jury verdicts and settlements. He currently serves as a co-managing partner of the Morgan & Morgan Business Trial Group.
As a trial lawyer, he currently focuses on handling professional liability claims, such as legal malpractice, accounting malpractice, auditor malpractice, engineering malpractice, and more. Benjamin also specializes in representing clients in pursuit of unpaid commissions and compensation, such as real estate commissions, recruiter commissions, sales commissions, and officer bonuses and compensation. While professional liability and commission claims are the current focus of his practice, Benjamin has years of experience handling a variety of other types of complex commercial cases, including contract disputes, business torts, construction defect and payment disputes, real estate litigation, partnership disputes, and others – from inception all the way through trial and verdict.
Benjamin’s litigation experience extends to both state and federal trial courts, in addition to the Florida Appellate Courts and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit. In particular, Mr. Webster has first-chaired several trials and obtained a number of significant jury verdicts for his business clients.
Benjamin’s professional background includes several years practicing at national law firm Baker & Hostetler, LLP prior to joining Morgan & Morgan. For 8 years in a row, he earned Florida Super Lawyers magazine’s “Rising Star” accolade, a distinction awarded to the top 2.5% of young attorneys in the state. He has also been named as one of “Florida’s Legal Elite” by Florida Trend on multiple occasions – a designation awarded to attorneys by their peers, given to less than 2% of attorneys in the state of Florida. Benjamin received his J.D. from the Florida State University College of Law and his B.S. cum laude from Grand Valley State University.
