Benjamin M. Burdick

Striving to ensure the rights of working individuals are safeguarded at every step, Benjamin M. Burdick dedicates his practice to handling cases involving workers’ compensation. Working from his office at Abdo & O'Brien, P.C., in Camillus, New York, he extends his practice to Syracuse and Albany. He understands the frustration of dedicating oneself to an organization, only to be denied fair compensation for damages caused by their oversight. He stays committed to upholding their rights and winning suitable compensation.

Before pursuing his legal education, Mr. Burdick completed his master’s degree in theoretical physics from Perimeter Institute. He then enrolled at UC Berkeley School of Law, earning his Juris Doctor, before serving as a law clerk to Justice Lidia Stiglich of the Nevada Supreme Court. This experience provided key insight into judicial operations, preparing him for practice following his admission to the New York State Bar in 2021. He then went on to work at a law firm where he counseled labor unions in both the public and private sectors.

Before joining his current practice, Mr. Burdick maintained his own law practice, through which he assisted individuals in legal disputes with their employers. With the belief that workers deserve representation equal to management, he secured substantial settlements in wage theft and harassment cases, defeated restrictive noncompete and nondisclosure claims, and successfully recovered wrongly denied unemployment benefits. Even to this day, he ensures workers receive the same high-caliber legal defense typically reserved for corporate executives.

As an active member of the American Bar Association and the Injured Workers Bar Association, Mr. Burdick stays at the forefront of evolving legal developments. He prioritizes clear, consistent communication, keeping clients fully informed at every stage to ease their stress and build trust throughout the legal process.
