About Benjamin Stanton
Benjamin Stanton Seigel is an attorney educated at the University of West Los Angeles, where he earned his Juris Doctor, and at the University of Missouri–Columbia, where he completed a Bachelor of Science. His academic background combined the study of law with a broader undergraduate foundation, preparing him for practice in California courts.
He practices law in California and serves as a lawyer at G&B Law LLP. His career has centered on matters that arise when financial stress reaches the courtroom. Over the years he has become a familiar presence in bankruptcy circles, moving between contested hearings and negotiated resolutions.
Seigel's work covers bankruptcy and related financial matters. He represents parties on both sides of insolvency disputes, including creditors' rights and debtor representation. He regularly handles restructuring questions, contested claims and the complex procedural issues that accompany bankruptcy filings. He also engages in pre-litigation strategy and claim valuation, helping clients assess options before a formal case is filed.
Professional involvement occupies a significant portion of his calendar. He holds membership in the American Bankruptcy Institute and the Financial Lawyers Conference. He serves as a director of the Los Angeles Bankruptcy Forum and as a director of the California Bankruptcy Forum. He is also a member of the American Mediation Association, Inc. Those roles have him working alongside other lawyers and judges on educational programs, panels and local forum events. The organizational work keeps him connected to developments in case law and practice trends across the state.
In practice Seigel balances courtroom advocacy and negotiated settlements. He prepares pleadings and attends hearings, and he also takes part in mediation sessions where resolution is still possible. The combination of litigation and alternative dispute resolution reflects the dual nature of many insolvency disputes: they can be resolved through adjudication or through agreement if the parties find common ground.
Colleagues describe him as methodical in building a case file and attentive to procedural detail. He draws on membership networks to stay current on statutory changes and judicial decisions that affect bankruptcy practice in California. He maintains an active role at G&B Law LLP and in local bankruptcy forums, contributing to discussions on practice and policy.
He currently practices bankruptcy and restructuring law at G&B Law LLP in California.
