Kristen Michelle Benson

I hired Kristen when I was attacked by a vicious dog while riding my bike, and she took my case seriously. She took all of the discomfort out of discussing the mental and physical effects of my injuries while maintaining a realistic stance regarding the valuation of my case, thus managing my expectat...ions. I was impressed with her knowledge of the interworkings of insurance companies and her understanding of the negotiation process. Kristen is an aggressive advocate who knows how to get the most for her client without undermining the progress of the case. In other words, she has great instincts and is highly skilled. Furthermore, Kristen kept me informed and remained accessible throughout the entire process. I would recommend Kristen to anyone who wants a great result.

Ms Benson was hired to represent our company in a discrimination lawsuit that had no merit. The Plaintiff claimed Age and Race Discrimination and decided to represent herself throughout the legal process. The Plaintiff made several inaccurate statements to the judge, failed to appear on several occa...sions and failed to provide documentation to Ms. Benson within two separate court appointed time frames. Many times I felt the judge/courts should have thrown out the case due to the Plaintiff's sloppy, unprofessional attempts at stringing the case along in hopes that we would just give up and settle. In fact I questioned Ms. Benson as to why she wasn't screaming at the judge to throw out the case on more than one occasion. Ms. Benson advised us to stay the course and let our case stand on it's own merit. She stated that its possible the judge was extending additional time frames and leeway to the Plaintiff due to her representing herself. We were very pleased with how Ms. Benson handled the cross examination portion of the Plaintiff's testimony and in the end, after three (3) weak appeals allowed to the Plaintiff, our company prevailed. We were completely satisfied with the respect Ms. Benson showed to our staff throughout the process, and we recommend Ms. Benson without reservation.

Kristen Benson has represented me legally on several occasions. She obtained a disability income for me when others would not even try. She did her research and applied the facts in such a manner that my employers lawyer was all but helpless. She has met my needs concerning my will and property man...agement. I would highly recommend Kristen Benson as a lawyer. I found her to be dedicated, professional, and very motivated.
