Benjamin Shook – A Lawyer For Design-Defect Cases

Benjamin is dedicated to representing automotive and medical device manufacturers in design-defect cases, successfully representing them both during trials as well as appealing them successfully before both federal courts and North Carolina Court of Appeals.

Charlton Heston famously used the words, “Judah! Judah!” from Ben-Hur to refer to Judah Ben-Ari. But who was behind these iconic lines in real life?

Early Life and Education

Benjamin represented all that Adolf Hitler and his Nazi regime despised: as an outspoken “conscious Jew” and committed Marxist, he represented everything they loathed about European Jews as well as their culture from history.

Benjamin chose not to succumb to despair during his two months at Vernuche and worked alongside fellow inmates to plan the publication of a journal detailing camp life. Additionally, he secured payments from Georges Bataille and Roger Caillois as payment for studying camp art and writings from fellow detainees.

Even with his poverty-stricken exile life, Benjamin found refuge within an intellectual circle that supported and encouraged him. Max Horkheimer of New York’s Marxist Institute for Social Research sent Benjamin money and publishing opportunities, while Gretel Karplus helped financially.

Professional Career

Ben serves his clients well by guiding them through the legal process and crafting effective and efficient strategies tailored specifically for their business needs and objectives.
