highly recommended

Vickie has worked with me for a few years now and has played an essential roll In helping me turn my life around. She has been extremely professional, reliable, easy to reach, and has made a massive effort on my behalf, going above and beyond, working with me every step of the way. She has been a pe...rsonal support as well and as a result I have overcome so much. I highly recommend her to anyone in central Florida.

An excellent criminal defense attorney

I have often recommended Vickie Benson to others because she is, in my opinion, the best defense attorney one could have. She's smart, has integrity, has always kept me well-informed of what is happening, and has gotten excellent results for the person for whom I hired her. I am very grateful for he...r nonjudgmental, professional attitude and that applies to everyone in her office as well.

"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."

  • 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.
