Warren Bennett
CEO/Founder
Warren is the founder, commander, and CEO of WKB Lawyers. Warren started this firm because he saw a genuine need for consumers to access specialised Total and Permanent Disability (“TPD”) lawyers who have only practiced in this area of law. In starting the firm, Warren set out to make TPD a relevant practice area and not some side area whose lawyers did not specialise in TPD claims, as he found working in Personal Injury firms.
Warren is a very experienced TPD lawyer, having experience working on both sides of the fence and has worked in TPD for over 12 years. He is very passionate when it comes to protecting his client’s rights.
In his spare time, Warren enjoys spending time with his family, exercising and watching basketball.
