Amazing Delaware Attorney- Highly Recommend.

I hired Ben to help me when I was arrested. I was uncertain of the consequences, and I was worried about where I had to be, when I had to be there, and what would end up happening. Within minutes of our first conversation, Ben not only had answers, but had a game plan in place, too. Ben was awesom...e to work with and ultimately, Ben completely resolved my case! Although I do not foresee myself in this type of situation again, if I am, I'd hire Ben again without question.

Great Attorney!

I hired Mr. Gifford to represent me after I was charged with almost ten traffic violations. He managed to convince the prosecution to drop all the charges against me, even though the evidence was really overwhelming. He was very kind, informative, and quick to respond when I had questions. My d...riving record is terrible, and if I got any more points, I was going to lose my license. I was thrilled with his representation, and I will never use another attorney again

Avvo Rating

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.
