Ben G

I was given Ben's number through a friend of mine. I was going to court for 2 yrs. I had 8 misdemeanors an 2 felonys. All in different towns with legal aid they wanted to give me state time. On one charge I was caught on camera trying to run the mother of my child's step father over with a car. I tho...ught for sure I was going to prison. With only 2 appearances from Ben he got me either 3 yrs probation or 6 months in the county jail. An I only had to plea out to one misdemeanor. I took the 6 months. If it wasn't for him I would probably still b in prison right now. An he definitely worked with me on the prices. I think it's 2500 per misdemeanor an 3000 a felony. I told him my situation an only paid 4500. From then on I refuse to use another lawyer. Overall I give him a 5 star rating. If ur in trouble I highly recommend u call Ben.

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.
