Wonderful Attorney

I spoke to Benjamin Lieberman about a recent minor criminal issue that was causing me tremendous anxiety and sleepless nights. He gave me exceptionally thoughtful and knowledgeable advice that put my mind at ease, offering me a more realistic view of my situation and the legal ramifications. His comp...assion and kindness really shine through. If I should have need to hire a lawyer, it will be Mr. Lieberman.

Clear and knowledgeable

I called Benjamin on behalf of a friend who was arrested for "ripping one" on the street. Benjamin was clear on the process and likely outcome and did a lot to reassure me that a first time offense will 99.9% of the time receive a MACD (Marijuana Adjourned in Contemplation of Dismissal). He furthe...r explained that a motion could be made, with good cause, to ask the judge to consider immediately sealing the file rather than wait the full year for it to be automatically sealed (assuming no further offenses). In all, Benjamin is someone you can speak to and be heard and who will guide you appropriately.

The Best of the Best

I needed some legal advice and came across Mr. Lieberman when searching for answers to a legal question. He stood out as an attorney who really cared. I thought it couldn't hurt to give him a call. He exceeded my expectations and was so comforting in helping me with an issue that has affected my life... for quite some time. He will spend time with you, he will research the matter at hand and be honest and sincere. Let's just say I don't have anymore sleepless nights due to a legal issue because Ben set the record straight. If you need an attorney, you will get a great one and then some. He is truly o e of a kind.

"There are many lawyers on Avvo who are prolific in answering questions and volunteering their time. There are only a select few whose quality of answers is readily apparent, simply by looking at their profile. Attorney Lieberman is one of those select few. Avvo awards points not only for contributions, but also for quality of answers, as judged by other lawyers. Attorney Lieberman's quality points are more than half of his contribution points, which tells you that he not only knows his stuff, but the legal community recognizes that and agrees with his answers. Attorney Lieberman has one of the highest quality ratings of any lawyer on Avvo. He is a resource to the Avvo community and anyone needing services in his areas of practice would be well-advised to contact him. James Frederick"

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.
