Great criminal attorney

Benjamin was extremely responsive, knowledgeable and very honest about the potential outcomes available in an open container matter. He laid out all the pros and cons of the different options available, providing first-hand examples of how those could be achieved, the realistic potential of achievin...g a favorable outcome based on the specific court, as well as the long-term impact (if any) of each scenario. I would wholeheartedly recommend his services for any criminal matter.

Absolutely very impressive. Thank you Benjamin!

I totally recommend Benjamin. He is very quick to respond to calls and emails and he is extremely professional. Unlike most other lawyers, he impressed me by spending a lot of time going through my case and options both on the phone and in person even before I decided to hire him. Benjamin did his be...st to expedite my case so it took only 2 days from the day I walked into his office to the day the case was dismissed. I can't appreciate him enough. A very nice and professional lawyer. My wife made absolutely the best choice to choose him for my case. Thank you so much!

Honest, Trustworthy, Responsive and Cuts to the Chase

I live on the west coast. My son, who is living in NYC, got arrested on possession after a police "stop and frisk." As a corporate lawyer, I knew nothing about the drug laws in New York, but was deeply concerned that once in the justice system things could potentially go sideways and cause my son la...sting problems. I did a search online and found Benjamin on this site. When I called his office, he answered the phone (another lawyer I called had his underling call me back...when you call Benjamin, you get Benjamin). He quickly displayed a deep knowledge of the law and how these specific matters were handled. He was also very clear about what could be expected in terms of a result - which eased my mind considerably. He went on to explain (unlike most lawyers), that it was possible to obtain the same result w/o hiring him, though having him involved would speed things along at the courthouse. End of day, things went exactly as Benjamin predicted they would. From the get-go Benjamin was a no BS guy, who was expert on the law and the process, he didn't oversell himself, he simply told it like it was. He delivered the result he promised at a very, very reasonable rate. And was always responsive throughout - answered the phone, returned calls and answered emails. I highly, highly recommend him to anyone who finds themselves on the wrong end of a possession charge. This is a great lawyer who also happens to be great guy.

Peace of mind- thanks to Benjamin Lieberman

I hesitated to contact a lawyer over a petty incident that happened to me recently, but I am glad that I did decide to seek legal advice. When I called Benjamin Lieberman, I was able to speak to him immediately. He listened carefully to my situation, and was so reassuring that it really put my mind ...at ease. Rather than imagining the worst case scenario, this phone call gave me a more realistic view of what I have gotten myself into. I recommend contacting Benjamin Lieberman for legal advice. He keeps it real!

Wonderful!

I am dealing with a civil claim / shoplifting issue and was really concerned about the repurcussions of such a case. I saw Mr. Lieberman had left advice on a couple of legal forums for other such cases and that he offers a free consultation for anyone with questions so I felt compelled to call him ba...sed on feeling comfortable with his advice I was reading that he had given to others. I have to say that I am so grateful that I came about finding his name. He called me back quickly after I left a message and assured me in a most genuine and compassionate manner about my situation. As I mentioned to him, I hope that I am never faced with the law and in turn having to hire a lawyer, but I will definitely keep his name in case anyone I know needs an attorney. What a great example of a human being. Made me feel like I could trust him and gives solid advice. Thank you! -Century 21 incident ($30 tag issue)

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"

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.
