Best experience working with Ben

Best experience working with Ben. He handled my upstate NY ticket with ease. I was nervous about having to return to upstate ny hours away but Ben handled it and brought down all the charges against me. He was very thorough and explained everything to me along the way. Thank you so much!!

Excellent traffic court attorney!

Ben Akbulut’s law office was a savior for a recent speeding ticket my daughter received. He was friendly and professional, putting her instantly at ease in a stressful situation. He speedily and effectively handled her violation, reducing her infraction from a 6-point violation to no points, saving u...s probably thousands in auto insurance premium increases over the next several years. Ben and his assistant David were fantastic to work with, quickly returning emails and phone calls and efficiently answering all of our questions during the process.

Best advice possible

I came to Ben regarding a criminal matter, I was facing some serious felonies and he took his time to explain the legal process to me and helped me dispose of the case for a very fair price. I was going through some hard times and he was understanding and allowed me to relax and take a breath during ...a very stressful period in my life. Thank you again Ben :)

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.
