I had never been arrested before and I was frankly quite terrified. Mr Stanton was assigned as my public defender. It is a great loss to the public defender's office that he is now left. Frankly all the inmates I talked with all wanted to be assigned Ben Stanton. I was arrested for unlawful conta...ct with a minor. Mr Stanton came to see me before my preliminary hearing laid out what I was looking at. He also said that once I see your evidence if I think we can fight this I'll be happy to go to trial with you. However he recommended that I take the deal. Most importantly to me Mr Stanton said I believe I can get you a one to two county bid and he got me one to two county bid. Also you could tell that Mr Stanton is a lawyer that actually cares, I thought he went above and beyond to fight my case even though it was through the public defender's office.

My charges were serious and at best I was looking at 8 years in State Prison. Let me start by saying, when I told Mr Stanton that the charges against me were false, without missing a beat Ben believed me and never questioned that part of my case again. After almost a year it was time for the pre-tria...l hearing. It was scheduled for a Wednesday, Monday morning I received a call from Ben. He said the DA had made an offer. He asked if I was willing to take a deal, the offer was probation. After Ben spent many hours filing motions, looking thru my discovery, this is what the DA felt was an appropriate offer. From 8 years, that I already had started planning for, to again, probation. Now, besides the amazing job he has done as my attorney, I must say that as a human being, he is one of the kindest, professional, and down to earth human beings I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. He truly cared about how I was doing and my sobriety mattered to him. I could go on forever about the experience I had with his office, his colleagues and mostly Mr. Stanton. He deserves much more than a simple review. However, that is the only way I know to get the word out. He has made such a huge impact in my life in so many ways. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I will write a separate review and mention each one of the colleagues that had helped me also, they also went above and beyond. What a great experience to have in such a terrible situation. Thank you Ben Stanton, you are the greatest.

My ex girlfriend filed a PFA against me and made false accusations of physical and verbal abuse. She had attempted to do this four times in my home state of Texas - all of which got denied. She then attempted to do the same in the PA court system. I hired Benjamin Stanton as my lawyer and his service...s were well worth it. Even with a judge that was sympathetic to the Plantiff (my ex girlfriend) he was able to prove that the claims made against me were false and get the PFA dismissed. He kept me informed the entire time and protected my reputation professionally and effectively in the court of law. I recommend this lawyer to anyone in need of legal representation. He knows what he’s doing. Thank you Mr. Stanton.
