Truly amazing results!

I have known Ben for years and he is literally the best in the business! I had three traffic violations totaling eight points, and he managed to get everything pled down to just a single parking ticket with zero points. Truly amazing results! He is professional, knowledgeable, compassionate, trustwor...thy and made the whole process much less stressful. I can’t recommend Ben enough. Thank you Ben!

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 :)

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.
