      Review Stephen Bennett

      A Very Professional Attorney

      Posted by

      My husband and I met Stephen because he closed on our house. He is very personable and made us feel at ease during the closing process. He has excellent communication skills and provided much detail as to what we were signing at closing. I definitely recommend him to others who need any type of legal advice. He was great to work with.

      Thankfully, I have never had need to retain Stephen for his litigation skills; however, I have sought his advice on a variety of legal issues. Throughout my experience working with Stephen I have found him to be both highly intelligent and personable. I trust Stephen to always give good, reasonable advice. You can't go wrong here.

      Legal name change and more

      Posted by

      I hired Stephen to file a legal name change for my son. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and answered all of my questions expeditiously. My past experience with attorneys had left me feeling that most will speak to you with blatant condescension- not Stephen. Even when I asked some seemingly obvious questions, he still took the time to politely answer them. I also hired him for a traffic ticket, and was happy with the results :) While I hope I won't need any additional legal services anytime in the near future, if I do, I will certainly be using Stephen! I 100% recommend him to all my family and friends who have been equally impressed with his services!

      Have YOU met Stephen??

      Posted by

      I have had multiple Real Estate closings over the years with Stephen. When he walks into the room and introduces himself, you KNOW your in for a real treat! He always starts out by getting to know the client better and sharing about his favorite topic... SPORTS!! When he is finished with your transaction, he makes the client feel like they have found a "New Friend" to call on. I would recommend Stephen for all areas of law.

      An Honest Trustworthy representative

      Posted by

      I worked with Mr. Bennett during my divorce and my case presented some challenges as I was overseas at the time and opposing counsel was often difficult, unrealistic and borderline deceitful to deal with. However, Mr Bennett did a very professional job and provided quality representation and my case was handled well and in a timely manner to my satisfaction.
