On going

It feels like he will win my trial with little effort. My circumstances are low profile and a simple task for this trial lawyer.

Posted by Peggy | September 24, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Very Helpful

Ben Burchett handled a case in traffic court for my brother and then for us. He did a very good job on both and we are pleased. We definitely will hire him again if the occasion arises.

Great councilor

In a civic & criminal justice system where the blind lead the blind, Ben Burchett brings an empirical perspective to this broken system. From the first consultation to the verdict of my trial, Ben Burchett has a great, thoughtful interpretation of the law. Steady and reliable, he provided clear and r...eassuring strategies along the way. He understands a person's life and livelihood outside of the judicial system and makes you feel well represented. His passion for justice is there. His staff was equally stellar to deal with, especially Kendra. I'm happy with the results (not guilty, 1 dismissed, court fines). Thank God for this firm.

Awesome attorney

Back in 2018 a friend of mine referred me to Mr. Burchett. From day one he was understanding and listened to everything. He never told me anything just because it was something i wanted to hear. He always let me make every decision when dealing with my case. Today i am here to tell you Mr. Burchett g...ot me the results i was in search of plus more. Thank you Mr. Burchett for all your hard work! You are awesome!

TRAFFIC TICKET

I guess you have to learn to pick your battles. When the police officer gave a different report in court then he told my daughter and myself I don't know if Mr. Burchett picked up on it. He was able to get the charges reduced from reckless driving to improper driving.

"Ben is on the short list of attorneys to whom I send clients when my firm cannot handle their criminal matters, perhaps because we already represent a co-defendant or because another client of ours is involved in the case somehow. I trust him to get the job done right."

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.
