Very happy

I have used attorneys several times in my life. They seemed to always want your money more than they wanted to serve you. I have never felt that with Benjamin. It seemed like all he wanted to do was to help you solve your problem. That he did and my problem was solved today and my record is now clear...ed I recommend using Benjamin on any case

Unbelievable

I am going to keep this short as I can and say unfortunately I’ve been in and out of trouble half my life and regardless of attorneys with big names big money my outcome has almost always been prison. Ben Stanton is a name I just recently would hear but it was what I was hearing that had me call him.... And Thank God I did and if u want an attorney who is gonna fight for u for ur freedom Trust me when I say you will not find a better attorney than him he is 5 starts all day long…

5 star service

He was able to get 3 citations reduced to only ONE! The most severe citation was removed. Great service. FYI- Be patient if they don't respond right away because they are busy fighting cases!!!!

Drug offense

Caught my case in September got referral to them that same month from a good friend of mines. I’m going be straight up with y’all. Matt & Ben are the best & very professional. Especially Ben he is the real deal I call he returns my calls from A to Z he will cover with you let know your option but mos...t importantly he stands by his words. Though out my case Ben keep saying to me No jail time if we can avoid that. What I just witness today was a miracle due to my pass history getting in trouble 3x. I just knew I was goin to jail in lackawanna County. Long story short I got 3 yrs probation & got it transferred outta state. Thanks Ben I truly do appreciate your professionalism & hard work Ethic to put towards my case.

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.
