    • I do not recommend Rita Bender.
    • Rita handled my Divorce / Separation matter.
    • I have previously worked with 3-5 lawyers.

    I would characterize Bender as a legal junk yard dog. This may be great in some types of litigation, but when dealing with painful family break-ups her over the top style may only exacerbate the pain and the expense of the process. Her abrasive and confrontational approach to family law has left permanent and unnecessary scars on our family.

  2. Money hungry

    • I do not recommend Rita Bender.
    • I hired Rita more than 3 years ago.
    • Rita handled my Divorce / Separation matter.
    • I have previously worked with 6-10 lawyers.

    Rita's main concern appeared to be stringing things along in order to inflate her bill. Her style made the divorce process harder, longer and more expensive than it needed to be. I finally hired another lawyer before she got all my money.
