About Benjamin N.
Benjamin N. Griffitts built his legal foundation at George Mason University School of Law, where he earned his J.D. in 2001. He arrived there after completing a B.A. in history at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in 1997, carrying minors in philosophy and political science. Those academic choices left him comfortable at the intersection of historical context and contemporary legal questions. They also framed an approach that values careful reasoning and courtroom preparation.
He began practicing law in the early 2000s. In 2004 he joined The Herndon Law Office, PLC as an associate. That role offered steady exposure to client intake, case development, and trial preparation. By 2010 he moved to Livesay & Myers, P.C. as a senior associate lawyer, handling more complex litigation tasks and mentoring junior attorneys. In 2018 he became a partner at Robinson Law, PLLC, where he took on leadership responsibilities and a broader slate of courtroom work.
Griffitts is admitted in state and federal forums. His jurisdictions include Virginia, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, the Fourth Circuit, and the U.S. Supreme Court. Those admissions allow him to pursue cases at trial and on appeal. They also reflect a practice that has extended beyond local courts to federal and appellate levels.
Professional memberships have been a regular part of his practice. He has been a member of the Virginia Trial Lawyers Association since 2011 and joined the Prince William County Bar and the Virginia Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers in 2010. He also holds membership connected to the U.S. Supreme Court. These affiliations provide regular contact with peers and continuing legal education, and they shape the conversations he has about litigation strategy and courtroom advocacy.
Colleagues describe him as methodical in preparing cases and deliberate in courtroom settings. He has handled both pretrial and appellate matters during his career. His experience spans different phases of litigation, from early investigations through trial filings and appellate briefs. He is comfortable arguing in front of juries and judges alike.
Today he is a partner at Robinson Law, PLLC. He maintains admissions across trial and appellate courts and continues to handle matters that require both trial work and appellate advocacy. His current practice concentrates on trial litigation and appellate representation.
