Great lawyer! Highly recommend!

Free consultation answered all my questions and I knew wanted to hire. Kept me informed and always promptly returned my texts, even at late hours. I was facing 27 over, which would’ve added points to my license and affected my insurance. He negotiated me down to a non moving violation—I had a small f...ine, no points, and no issues with my insurance! It was well worth it to hire.

RECOMMENDED 100%

Benjamin Stanton was first assigned to me as my public defender. During the court proceedings, Ben displayed such a high knowledgeable level of law, professionalism and confidence that I retained his representation after he left the public defender's office. Mr. Stanton really listened to all of my c...oncerns and clearly, concisely outlined all the different courses of action including the positive and negative realistic outcomes. Benjamin is an ethical, honest and knowledgeable attorney who deserves all the recognition. Benjamin's reviews speak for themselves. Without hesitation, I give Benjamin Stanton my highest recommendation.

NO POINTS! AAA+++ LAWYER

Reasonable rates and I had a tough case that I should have lost my license 100% and not only did Ben get get them to drop reckless driving and careless driving but he got my speeding from 102 to 60 only 5 over.. resulting in only a fine. I can't express my gratitude enough towards Ben and I would re...commend him to anybody that needs a lawyer. I really needed a lawyer on this one and he came through for me.

  • 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.
