S. Gerard Conklin (1903-1975), previously of Alexander, Buchanan, and Conklin, and Robert L. Benham, now retired, founded the firm in 1963.

Initially, Conklin Benham concentrated exclusively on matters of workers' compensation defense.  In order to more adequately meet the needs of its clients, Conklin Benham expanded its services to include liability defense representation.  As the reputation of the firm grew and to assist clients throughout the State, the Traverse City office opened in 1983. An office in Grand Rapids was then added, followed by the opening of our Ann Arbor office, which has enabled the firm to service clients in all counties in Michigan.

Conklin Benham attorneys provide the highest degree of professional legal representation while maintaining cost effectiveness.  Conklin Benham's appellate division is highly regarded throughout the state.  Arguing before the Supreme Court on numerous occasions, our appellate division has been involved in many cases resulting in a positive impact on insureds and insurance carriers in Michigan.
