Benjamin M. Esco

Mr. Esco is a partner in Gaebe, Mullen, Antonelli, Esco & DiMatteo. He has handled all aspects of more than thirty jury and non-jury trials in state and federal courts, from Key West to Palm Beach County, including briefs and arguments at the appellate level. Mr. Esco’s main focus in defending a case is to develop facts and evidence with an eye toward summary judgment prior to trial or directed verdict at trial on as many counts as possible. He has also handled nearly 250 civil mediations, always with his clients' economic interest at the forefront.

With a work ethic and an attention to detail as the cornerstones of his philosophy to be more prepared than one's opponent, Mr. Esco is involved primarily in litigation cases concerning premises liability, major over-the-road transportation accidents, common carriers, products liability, contract, liquor liability, insurance coverage issues, nursing home defense, and bad faith disputes.

Whether the client desires a "win at all costs" or a net economic bottom line approach, great care and extensive personal involvement are provided to all aspects of defending the claim, including collateral source resolutions, medical evaluation, IME support, on-site witness/evidence development, motion practice, discovery, and research. Mr. Esco is of the opinion that an attorney's continued personal involvement and knowledge regarding each aspect of the case from start to finish is much better-suited to the client's desire to continually be made aware of all significant developments in all phases and areas of every claim, be they factual, medical, or legal.
