My current freedom is owed to Vickie and her team

She was always on the ball knew answers before court and advised me wisely in all situations. Would recommend her to anyone with criminal legal trouble in search of a fair and wise attorney who will be on the case full time for you. Has also recently helped me down the line after case filing separate... motions to give me more freedom and distance from court.

Battery Charge

As a grateful and satisfied Client, I want to express my experience with Attorney Benson - Wonderful! I was accused (falsely) of Battery and the accuser had a false witness - a very difficult case to win. Attorney Benson's knowledge and experience prevailed and was able to conclusively win the Cas...e with a NOT Guilty verdict. Walked away clean - no court Costs, etc. Attorney Benson is highly recommended. Bert F, Orlando

Fantastic srvice even took payments got the charge reduced quickly!!!!!

Vickie and her staff were fantastic making me feel at ease from the moment I walked in the door she was able to set up a payment plan other lawyers I asked to do that pretty much hung up on me she has a lot of contact in the area and was able to get my DUI reduced to reckless thanks so much ... I would highly recommend her if you need a DUI lawyer you feel like an actual client-not a number

A Great Lawyer

Vickie is an excellent lawyer. She handled my case with great concern and complete dedication. I had previously hired another lawyer who I fired due to Incompetence. As a result, I was very nervous about my case. However, Vickie took me by the hand and led me through it all, I am so grateful for the ...time and work she did on my behalf. The excellent outcome of my case greatly exceeded my expectations. If you need an honest, hard working lawyer, you will find Vickie Benson and her office staff to be the best there is

"I first met Vicki when I was the Chief of Police for the City of Oak Hill in 1989 when she was an Assistant State Attorney. Throughout her entire career, she has exemplified professionalism, diligence and knowledge of criminal law. She has masterfully utilized the knowledge she gained as a prosecutor to maximize her defense skills. In sum, she's one of the most effective attorney's I've ever known."
