Work dont match his price

NOT WORTH 20K.I ws under a POM-ACT probation sentence when i caught a drug charge and My P. O wanted to violate 2yr and send me back to prison. He didn't read my original sentence and notice i was under the POM much less know much about it. So I missed the benefit of a PDC program that i could've got... a probation bond after completing in 90days simply because he didnt counter offer it to my P. O. It had to be done before my paperwork got bind over to Superior Court.He never negotiated on my behalf or did Anything Aggessively.Didnt have any answers to any questions I asked.After 90days in jail i got 15yrs serve 3 on a drug possession. A sentence i could've gotten with a court appointed attorney. He didnt even get me the POMACT with my new sentence. And told me 5min before i got my plea that i wouldn't be able to own a dog for 5yrs.If that wasn't enough i asked for a copy of my new sentence wk after court and he tells Me the judge made a mistake by not giving Me credit.The mistake ws hiring a attorney who does no homework or footwork.

Thorough, Professional, & Kind

Ben was referred to me from a family friend, and I could not have been more pleased with my experience. Ben worked with my family and I for close to a year, and he maintained kind and professional disposition throughout the entirety of the year. Navigating the legal system can be incredibly nerve rac...king, however Ben made ever every to make sure I was prepared for court and had no surprises along the way. He took time to answer all of my questions and made an effort to reach out to my family and I to ensure we were always in the loop. I was so pleased to work with a lawyer who is both competent, fair, and kind. I would strongly recommend Ben to anyone seeking legal assistance.

"I highly and enthusiastically recommend Benjamin B. Alper whether it is for representation in a DUI case or a multidimensional intricate federal criminal trial. I have the pleasure and privilege of having Ben work with me as my criminal defense associate. Ben is gifted with exceptional writing skills and the capability of analyzing complex criminal matters that is found only in seasoned practicing attorneys! He has my upmost respect for his trial skills and tireless preparation for all his cases. Recently, Ben undertook detailed research in a federal criminal case, and wrote extremely persuasive objections to the Presentence Report, culminating in our client escaping a sure life sentence. I categorically declare that Ben is one of Atlanta’s rising stars in the criminal defense arena. Observing hundreds of lawyers throughout my career, I can assure readers of this endorsement, of Ben’s integrity, professionalism and zealous advocacy for his clients."
