About Ben Davis
Ben Davis is the Founder and Trial Lawyer of Davis Kelin Law Firm, focusing on personal injury law after transitioning from corporate defense work.
Davis earned his Juris Doctor from Baylor Law School in Texas, graduating in the top 20% of his class. He clerked for a Federal Magistrate Judge in Waco. He is admitted to the New Mexico State Bar.
Davis spent 3.5 years in corporate defense before founding Davis Law Firm, which later merged to create Davis Kelin. He has been recognized in Best Lawyers and Super Lawyers. His notable matters include a legal malpractice case resulting in a client's prison release, the Scott Pierce murder case (featured on NBC's Dateline), the largest jury verdict against a property management company in a condominium death case, and the 2023 largest insurance bad faith verdict in New Mexico history. He serves on the New Mexico State Bar's Professional Liability and Insurance Committee, the Board of Directors of New Mexico Trial Lawyers, and is a member of the American Association for Justice Leader's Forum.
Proven verdicts and settlements
An Albuquerque jury awarded $52 million in punitive damages against Professional Underwriters Liability Insurance Company after finding the insurer deliberately concealed notice of patient deaths and then refused to defend the physician it had covered.
New Mexico's child welfare agency agreed to a $5.5 million federal civil rights settlement after caseworkers placed an eight-year-old girl with her father, who then beat her to death, despite a documented history of abuse allegations against him.
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Each case is unique and depends on its own facts.
