Benjamin Stanton

Knew before I did that I was being charged with a moving violation. I was hit in the rear at a 4 way stop. The person that ran the light (was just leaving work) and hit me in my rear quarter panel and spin me 180 degrees, had a work buddy stop at the scene 2 minutes after it happened and told the pol...ice that he witnessed me run the stop sign. Guess who the police believed...yep him., because he had a "witness". The police didn't even question that if I ran the stop sign, he would have hit me in the front or even side of my vehicle. AND "if" he stopped at the stop sign, how did he gain that much speed from a "complete stop" to spin me completely around and do that much damage to my vehicle's REAR quarter panel???? I received a solicitation letter from this Attorney's office saying that I see you are being charged with a traffic offense. Hmm. The very next day I receive a registered letter that I am being charged with failure to stop at a stop sign, etc and if found guilty I would receive points on my spotless driving record. I was furious, dumbfounded and scared. I have never been in trouble or had a ticket before. Like an idiot I called this Attorney's office. They looked up the other driver and guess what?? One more offense and his driving privileges would be suspended. I guess people that don't like to obey the laws get away Scott free. Atty. Stanton was very nice and professional. Told me to plead not guilty, pay the fine, approx. 185.00 and request a hearing. Oh and pay his fee of 750.00 BEFORE the hearing. The day of the hearing, the other driver and his "witness" was a no show. Surprising.. Atty. Stanton he goes to speak with the Officer who looked like he knew well. He told me the Officer is willing to plead my charges down to failure to use hazard lights, no points on my license, etc. And since I already paid the fine, I should be owed money. Like an idiot I agreed, not knowing what else to do. Magistrate signs off on the plea deal and I am dismissed. Ah, okay what about my vehicle, it is still damaged. I only have liability since it is a 2008. Oh well that will be up to the insurance companies to fight out. His insurance already denied my claim since the accident was MY fault. Do not let an Attorney talk you into anything. Get another consultation. I was wronged by so many people and the justice system is for the ones who know how to lie and cheat. Guess how much of a refund i received??? $20.00. From failure to stop at a stop sign to failure to use hazard lights. One you get points and the other is just a blip on your record. Nice right?? What a racket the all have going for them. Easy money!! I still can't afford to fix my vehicle or buy a new one. I live paycheck to paycheck and that is my only way to work. I hope they can all sleep at night. All I can say is KARMA.....

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.

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.

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.
