About

Benjamin Scott Burnside is an accomplished attorney based in Greensboro, NC, specializing in Personal Injury law. As a member of Deuterman Law Group, he focuses on advocating for the rights of individuals who are mentally and physically disabled, particularly in securing Social Security Disability and VA benefits that they rightfully deserve, especially after facing prior denials. Ben's credentials reflect his commitment to excellence in legal representation. He became a member of the prestigious Million Dollar Advocates Forum in 2008, an exclusive organization for trial lawyers who have achieved million-dollar or multimillion-dollar verdicts, awards, or settlements for their clients. This distinction is held by fewer than 1% of attorneys nationwide, and only a select few in North Carolina have achieved this honor since the forum's inception in 1993. In 2012, Ben earned the title of Board Certified Specialist in Social Security Disability Law, a designation that underscores his expertise and performance in the legal field. This certification is granted by the N.C. State Bar's Board of Legal Specialization after rigorous peer review, continuing education, and successful completion of a board exam. Notably, Ben is one of only seven attorneys in the Triad recognized with this certification. In 2016, he further enhanced his qualifications by obtaining accreditation from the Veterans Administration, allowing him to represent veterans in disability claims. That same year, Ben was recognized as one of North Carolina's Outstanding Young Lawyers, a testament to his significant contributions to the legal community. A proud native of Greensboro, Ben graduated magna cum laude from the University of North Carolina at Wilmington in 2003, earning a bachelor’s degree in philosophy and religion. He went on to receive his Juris Doctor with honors from the UNC School of Law in 2006, the same year he was admitted to the North Carolina State Bar. His legal journey includes valuable internships with Deuterman Law Group and U.S. Middle District Court Judge James A. Beaty, Jr. Ben is actively involved in the legal community, serving as co-chairman of the Continuing Legal Education Committee for the Disability Advocacy Section of the North Carolina Advocates for Justice. He is also a member of several professional organizations, including the National Organization of Social Security Claimants’ Representatives (NOSSCR), the North Carolina Advocates for Justice (NCAJ), the North Carolina Bar Association (NCBA), and the Greensboro Bar Association (GBA). Residing in Greensboro with his wife Christine and their two children, Ben continues to be a strong advocate for those in need, ensuring they receive the benefits and support they deserve.
