Posted by Jim | September 19, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Excellent attorney!

I was quite impressed with how highly organized Ben was going into my child custody trial. Every contingency had been considered. Ben had a very calm but firm court demeanor that was quite effective, and we won the case. I also appreciated that Ben showed some flexibility in negotiating price. I... would definitely recommend Ben to others.
