About Ben
Attorney Ben Koshy joined The Greening Law Group in 2023, operating out of our firm’s Waco office. He is licensed to practice in the State of Texas, as well as in federal courts in the Western District of Texas.
Mr. Koshy graduated from Baylor Law in Waco, Texas, and has a love for the Waco area community. After working as a prosecutor in the Angelina County District Attorney’s Office, Mr. Koshy chose to shift into defense. He then served as a Public Defender in Dallas County, representing primarily indigent clients. With this distinctive background, Mr. Koshy has the advantage of having been on multiple sides of the courtroom. He has a unique perspective into the way prosecutors approach criminal cases and uses that knowledge to strategically and carefully craft each client’s defense strategy.
Though Mr. Koshy is skilled in all aspects of criminal defense, he has a passion specifically for helping juveniles accused of crimes. With the knowledge that criminal cases can often have a devastating impact on one’s life, Mr. Koshy knows that it’s important to show compassion and understanding to our clients. In juvenile cases specifically, it’s extremely important to have an attorney focused on reducing the long-lasting negative impacts a criminal case can have on the juvenile’s life.
Driven by compassion, integrity, and grit, Mr. Koshy seeks to connect with clients on a personal level. He sees the importance of taking the time to listen and understand his clients and their concerns, demonstrating that he has his clients’ best interests in mind through strong work ethic and honor, and consistently working hard to achieve the best possible outcome for each client.
When meeting a new client, Mr Koshy’s first goal is to connect with them personally, learning who they are as an individual, what their goals are in life, and what their hopes are for their case. He analyzes each new case by looking at the different elements in play, hearing the client’s side of what happened, carefully analyzing evidence, and putting the pieces together to identify the best course of action.
Mr. Koshy has engaged in a number of further trainings and specializations in addition to his law school foundation, such as the St. Andrews School of the Advocate, where he gained direct experience with being a trial advocate, crafting well-organized opening and closing statements, conducting direct or cross-examinations, and participating in bench trials. In the Tim Evans Trial College and the Center for American and International Law (CAIL) Trial Skills College, he strengthened these skills even further and studied voir dire, the process of selecting a jury.
Actively involved in several professional organizations, including the Waco-McLennan Bar Association, the McLennan County Criminal Defense Lawyers Association, the National College of DUI Defense, and the Texas Criminal Defense Lawyers Association, Mr. Koshy remains well-connected and informed about the dynamic legal landscape. His participation in these organizations contributes to his professional network, helping him stay up to date and connected with the ever-changing legal landscape, reinforcing his dedication to providing top-tier legal defense.
With a client-centered approach, Mr. Koshy aims to understand the unique aspects of each case, making personal connections that go beyond legal representation. His unwavering commitment to justice, combined with his diverse experiences and continuous professional development, positions him as a trusted advocate for those navigating the complexities of the legal system.
