You not trust this firm

Do not ever hire this guy if it's a pro bono case I gave him a one-star review on Google to show what he's done to me he was the second lawyer appointed to me on the grounds that I got rid of my first lawyer for incompetence and the collection of client he only tried pushing me into a play and never ...counteracted any of my charges in my defense knowing that I was innocent the whole time I had to write judge hackenberry who's the Supreme Court judge to finally get a lawyer will pedigree who dissolved my case within days I served 20 months for nothing because of Ben Deaver and now have a class action lawsuit against his Law Firm and the county he practices in he was found by a Supreme Court Judge conversating with my case with the district attorney which is a violation of your constitutional right it's also a violation of your fourth and sixth amendment he waved every right I've ever had for my due process hearing only to his benefit with his strong feelings with the district attorney when you're innocent this is not a plea deal this is my freedom and this man does not care about that he got fined buy a Supreme Court judge admitting that we lost communication and lied about me being in Brunswick County which wasn't true when I was held in New Hanover County he will only do anything in your favor if it has to do with your conviction he told the district attorney where the victim was in jail so she can come up and see the woman and only off of her plea deal to get out of jail on her many drug charges build up to testify against me in the case that wasn't true when she got ree cross-examined by a real lawyer she said she was put up to it by police to write a statement on kidnapping I did 20 months for a lawyer will pedigree that took care of a case in a matter of days this is your trustee been Deaver you never trust this man and I got a first-degree kidnapping dismissed motor vehicle charge dismissed and drug paraphernalia dismissed because the DNA match the victim that I was writing the whole time that it was her drugs in DNA pipe that matched in the car he put in no papers for any motion to ever have my DNA pulled to match the DNA on the drugs in the car this man is a complete joke

Very helpful Law Firm

I got a drinking ticket downtown in Wilmington. A friend suggested I call Deaver Law Firm. Mr. Deaver was so nice and his assistant was too :) I hope I don't get another ticket for anything, but if I do, I'm totally calling them.

Five Stars *****

I was involved in a car wreck. The person who hit me said it was my fault. I went to one attorney and they said there was nothing I could do. Then my friend referred me to Deaver & Deaver. Ben sued the other driver and won. Not only did the pay for my car, they also paid all me medical bills and... put a lot in my pocket.

great guy

Great attorney! Was down visiting family & got a ticket for speeding. Never had to step foot in the court room, which was great since I don't live in Wilmington. His assistant was very helpful!

Excellent DWI attorney in Wilmington, NC!!!!!

Mr. Deaver & his staff have helped me tremendously throughout this process. I got a DWI and he really explained how everything was going to be handled. And because I am retired military, I got a discount on his regular fee.

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.
