I would definitely highly recommend Mr Ebanks for his services to anyone I might encounter in need of legal representati...on

Outstanding Lawyer

Mr.Ebanks has provided me with excellent representation during various cases that I have been involved in. Mr. Ebanks is very competent in all aspects of the law. Mr. Ebanks will go the extra mile to get a good outcome for your case. Highly recommended.

Alberto is the best!

I was falsely accused of a criminal act by my ex-spouse during a contentious divorce. Alberto put on a rigorous defense and helped present evidence that completely exonerated me. The DA had offered several plea bargains that would have made the case go away faster, but all would have involved a blemi...sh on my record for something that I was not guilty of. Alberto recognized the injustice in that and continually pointed this out to the prosecution. His tenacity caused more senior DA's to get involved in reviewing the evidence. They ultimately dropped the charges completely. Thank you Alberto!

I could have never asked for a better lawyer. Very attentive and makes sure he has time for his clients

Mr Albert E Banks is the best in the business. Has great relationships with all parties and knows the law inside out. He will not take ya money just to take it and he goes into each and every case with pure intentions of winning. Nothing less. He is absolutely worth every dime I've been through a lot... trust me but he is the best in the business

Soaring Legal Eagle

I was facing a seasoned prosecutor who wanted to serve me. I was facing 8-25 years. Al knew there was something wrong with the DA's grand jury presentation. The judge ordered an incamera inspection and dismissed the indictment on Al's motion. The DA scampered out with the proverbial tail between the ...legs. Mr. Ebanks is an intellectual with compassion and drive. I recommend his services across the board!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
