BTR Consulting, California
Ben Rice is a correctional attorney/consultant and founder of BTR Consulting, LLC. Ben also consults part time for Falcon, Inc. After four years in private practice, Ben began his career as a corrections attorney almost 20 years ago. Ben spent four years litigating cases on behalf of the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) as a Deputy Attorney General, including as the lead attorney on three class action cases. In recognition of his outstanding work, Ben was asked to join the Governor’s Office of California as Deputy Legal Affairs Secretary over public safety. After two years, Ben was recruited to become chief counsel of CDCR. During this time, CDCR terminated several class actions. Nine years later, Ben was recruited by a private healthcare company to become its chief counsel, which eventually merged with another private healthcare company to become the largest in its field. In his last two years there, Ben helped manage the sites associated with class cases. He has worked on roughly thirty class cases with dozens of experts and has been on hundreds of expert and plaintiff prison/jail tours. He recently opened up BTR Consulting as a corrections consultant to help counties and states comply with their class cases or avoid them.
