Hi, I’m Ben Baker Shawaf

I am a graduate of the University of Oregon School of Law, where I developed a strong foundation in the law and a deep commitment to serving my community. During my legal education, I was fortunate to gain valuable experience through internships with the Oregon Department of Justice, the Oregon Court of Appeals, and the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon.

I am passionate about helping individuals, families, and businesses navigate complex legal matters with confidence and clarity. I understand that legal issues can be stressful, overwhelming, and deeply personal. My goal is to provide straightforward legal guidance, responsive communication, and practical solutions tailored to each client’s unique circumstances.

Whether assisting a family through a difficult transition, helping a business protect its interests, or advocating for clients in insurance-related disputes, I approach every matter with dedication, professionalism, and careful attention to detail. I believe that every client deserves to feel heard, informed, and confident in the legal process.

Outside of my legal practice, I enjoy spending time with my family, studying and practicing mixed martial arts, and supporting Oregon athletics. I value the relationships I build with my clients and strive to bring the same commitment and discipline to my practice that I bring to the things I care about most.
