A Board-Certified “Expert” Trial Attorney, Benjamin Jones has tried over 100 jury trials (and countless evidentiary hearings) since his legal career began in 2006. Over the years, Mr. Jones has garnered the recognition of his peers and the respect of judges, earning him an “AV Preeminent” rating from Martindale-Hubbell, which is the “highest possible rating in both legal ability and ethical standards, reflecting the confidential opinions of members of the Bar and the Judiciary.”
At Snedaker Law, Mr. Jones draws upon his personal experience fighting insurance companies to effectively seek justice for Florida’s injured and accident victims, as well as the doctors’ offices that treat them. To this end, Mr. Jones has battled insurance companies his entire life. After being diagnosed with cancer while in law school, his medical insurance company cancelled his policy while he was still undergoing chemotherapy. Several years later, after a tornado destroyed his home, Mr. Jones had to fight a 3-years’-long battle with his property insurance company, so that he could rebuild, move back into his home, and move on with his life. Today, these unfortunate events afford Mr. Jones unique perspective that motivate and inform his strategies as he focuses his practice on personal injury and “PIP” litigation.
With experience litigating everything from traffic tickets to death penalty cases; employment disputes to auto-accident claims; civil forfeitures to Visual Artists Rights Act violations; pre-construction condominium deposit disputes to corporate compliance; Qui Tam actions and Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act (“FDUTPA”) claims to municipal bond validations, Mr. Jones has the experience, knowledge, reputation, perspective and passion to give his clients the representation they deserve.
Mr. Jones is licensed to practice throughout the state of Florida and in the United States Middle District Court of Florida, where he has appeared as lead counsel in cases throughout these jurisdictions, including Miami-Dade, Broward, Collier, Lee, Hardee, Hillsborough, Polk, Osceola, Orange, Lake, Sumter, Marion, Volusia, Seminole, and Brevard counties. Mr. Jones has also been published in The Florida Defender magazine and regularly guest lecturers at “Public Defender College” for the 9th Judicial Circuit.
Ben grew up in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida and attended Emory University, in Atlanta, Georgia where he dual majored in Philosophy and Economics (with concentrations in Law and Business Policy Analysis). For law school, he graduated from the University of Miami with his Juris Doctorate. Currently, Mr. Jones lives in Orlando with his wonderful wife and 2 children. In his spare time, Mr. Jones enjoys rooting for UCF football, attending the theater, playing frisbee golf, and injuring himself in various adult recreational basketball leagues.”

The thought that I would ever be in need of a lawyer never crossed my mind. After a car accident I realized it was not something I could deal with on my own. Mike Palacios was amazing! He was responsive, supportive and guided me each step of the way. He went over and above with a perfect mix of caring and taking care of business. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to represent a friend or family member of my own if they found themselves in an unfortunate situation. And he would be my first call if the need ever arose again. – Melissa
