    Shore Investigates is an independent newsroom, not a law firm. Benjamin Shore’s legal practice is separate from his journalism. Nothing on this site constitutes legal advice or creates an attorney-client relationship.

    Benjamin A. Shore, Esq. (“Ben Shore”) is an attorney and investigative journalist. His work is built on years inside the highest levels of government: he served the President of the United States at the White House, and later worked at the U.S. Department of Justice's Criminal Division, where he supported the prosecution of complex national and international investigations into drug cartels and terrorists.

    He has served three federal judges, gaining firsthand insight into the inner workings of the judiciary, and worked in Congress assisting with legislative research and policy development. His experience spans every branch of government — giving him a rare, behind-the-scenes perspective that drives his reporting.

    Ben's investigative focus is shaped by his legal training, courtroom exposure, and a commitment to public accountability. He founded Shore Investigates and built the legal-tech platforms NJOPRAportal.com, OPRAPro.com, and CHPSOPRA.com. He co-founded Rise Against Hate, a civil rights nonprofit that has led statewide litigation, taken cases to the New Jersey Supreme Court, and helped secure over $600,000 in funding to combat institutional bias.

    His work has been featured in national reporting on racial disparities in law enforcement and challenges to government secrecy. A graduate of the University of Baltimore School of Law and American University's Kogod School of Business, Ben brings both strategic clarity and fearless curiosity to stories that expose abuse, uncover truth, and push for systemic change.
