Awesome and informative

Should be rated a 100 out of 5!!! Very dependable reliable and listened to you and got the best possible outcome there was to offer. Knows the laws and everything very well and can get you what you deserve. Constantly making sure you understood everything and what he was going for and guided you ever...y step of the way. Made sure he had all the facts and the truth and is there for the clients not the system or anything else. Always made you feel comfortable with what was going on and how everything was playing out. Never gave up on getting what he thought you deserved. Will absolutely and definitely recommend to anyone who needs a great lawyer and would make sure if I need a lawyer for anything again I choose him first.

Professional and dependable

Mr. Stanton offered a consultation when many other attorneys were unavailable or lacked the expertise necessary. He was always in touch and kept me updated on the status of the case. Hope I won’t need his services again but would recommend him to anyone that does.

Lawyer that you must hire

Benjamin was really helpful and understanding. His words were professional and he gave all the possible outcomes. I hired him for my Dad’s case. He was the only lawyer who explained to me everything on the traffic tickets that has been issued to my Dad. He is very knowledgeable and when you talk to h...im you feel more confident on the outcome of your case. I would recommend him to everyone who needs the best lawyer who will protect and defend rights of his clients. He is the best lawyer so if you need a lawyer don’t hesitate and contact him.

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.

When All Hope is Lost, Have Faith and Believe......

I personally went through a very traumatic event in May 2021. Afterwards, I was diagnosed with PTSD and in treatment as a single mom of two autistic teens, I was fearful of who I was and even with all this..Then next I was being served papers of charges that were placed against me by the same offic...er that refused to take my incident report earlier that year for being attacked and assaulted. This cop was charging me for filing false information which I was telling the truth about.. I wanted to give up after receiving yet another injustice in this cruel world we live. As a lot of opinions came at me of how my case was not worth fighting due to the fact it was a officer that was involved, and other attorney's seeming very one sided. I saw hope after speaking to Attorney Ben Stanton. When I told him that the charges against me were false and that I wanted my truth to be told and justice, he believed me when the entire Justice system was failing me! Attorney Ben Stanton was all for helping me to show my facts! After a process of court hearings, Attorney Ben Stanton got my case to be dismissed. He helped me find Justice in this case. He is a Attorney who is fair, and very compassionate, he gives his all for his clients. He explains every step and process. He made my case about me and not just what would be a easy way out. He really fought for me and it was always my pleasure working with him. He went above and beyond for my rights and that's just not something you find everyday. Thank You for helping me through this life transition and showing so much compassion in the process. I've always told my girls' all their lives that the truth is always best and you may not be able to change this cruel world all by yourself but you can always due your part and the little parts we can around us. You just have to believe. Attorney Ben Stanton is a blessing in our lives; as he always believed in me when so many others refused to be involved with my case or just didn't believe in the truth all together. He was one of the best deicision's 'Ive made as a single mom and i'm so grateful for his service. Funny how I couldn't even provide my full review cause there is just a lot to say about such a human as Attorney Ben Stanton. Still to this day I look to him for advice and would use him again a heartbeat. May your Family and you be blessed this year.
