Ben Cramer
Trial Attorney
Ben Cramer brings nearly two decades of trial experience to his current role at Stalwart Law Group, where he now exclusively represents victims of medical negligence and elder neglect.

During that time, he served as the lead trial lawyer for one of the largest healthcare organizations in Southern California and rose to managing partner of a firm office.
A respected figure in the legal community, Ben served as President of the San Diego Defense Lawyers and was selected to the California Medical Legal Committee, a group of elite defense attorneys recognized for their excellence in medical malpractice defense.
More About Ben
Ben was born at Fort Belvoir, Virginia, and raised on both coasts before settling in Carlsbad, California, where he attended high school. He earned a B.A. in History from the University of California at Los Angeles in 2005, where he was a member of the men’s rowing team and honored as “Best Utility Oarsman.” He obtained his J.D. from Thomas Jefferson School of Law in 2008, participating in national competitions as a member of the Moot Court team.
