Attorney Representation

Attorney Ben Alper was phenomenal during my legal situation. I was in a serious battle and he was so patient with all my questions and anxiety. I was facing some serious consequences and was frighten beyond words. I was able to reach him when I needed to talk or had a question. He always returned my ...calls timely. He was actually a calming force during my whole ordeal. I was prepared for all my hearings; but more importantly he was prepared. He explained what would happen and what to expect every step of the way. He never rushed me during our meetings and I really appreciated that. He was just a very good attorney and a genuine person. I have recommended him to several friends and will continue to do so.

Not Just A Lawyer!

Being in legal trouble for the first time, I didn't know what to expect and my nerves were all over the place. From the day I met him, Benjamin provided me with a very clear overview of what to expect and our plan of action. He was very knowledgeable about the law pertaining to my situation and knew ...which steps were best to get through the process with limited damage. Because of his continued communication, my mind was put at ease to the best of its ability considering the circumstances. Benjamin wasn't just a professional attorney, but he was also sincere and caring. That meant a lot to me because I needed to know I wasn't just another check for my attorney. Even after my case was closed, he contacted me for follow-up and reassured me that I was free to contact him should I have any questions. I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone needing legal assistance.

Worth it

I what a case come up quick that I had thought was over and we needed to find a lawyer fast. I had called Ben and even though I was freaking out he reassured me that he could help. I love how he is straight forward with you about what he can do, what should happen and all. He got my case resolved in ...a very short amount of time. Very grateful that he took the time to always answer my calls and to just make my life easier.... Would highly recommend them!!!!

Relationship: Co-worker

"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."
