S. Crocker Bennett, II President   Mr. Bennett has tried many personal injury and product liability cases to verdict in most of the Vermont trial courts, both state and federal. Although the majority of his work presently consists of representing hospitals, physician practice groups and individual health care providers in medical malpractice cases, he has represented plaintiffs in significant personal injury cases. For example, Mr. Bennett received the then largest verdict in the history of Orleans County for a utility lineman who had been electrically injured. Mr. Bennett also represents licensed professionals before state licensing boards. In June, 2010, Mr. Bennett was elected President of Paul Frank + Collins P.C. He will continue his law practice while leading the firm. Mr. Bennett grew up in New Hampshire, attended the University of Vermont, and had a short career as a television newsman before attending graduate school.
