About Jonathan
Biography
I am the owner of Benjamin Law Practice, PLLC. I am a Consumer Protection Litigation Attorney specializing in Commercial and Residential Foreclosure defense, HOA Foreclosure Defense, Federal Cases such as the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA), Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), state Consumer Collection Defense matters, and general Civil Litigation matters. We are also handling Immigration matters.
I always look for ways to dismiss cases and to get money in my client's pocket for any violations by creditors or debt collectors. In order to do this, I have decided to take on a limited amount of clients so I can devote much needed time and attention to each case. I am a former bank attorney, so I bring a unique perspective to defense work, especially consumer protection cases and know how the other side thinks and litigates!
I am known as an aggressive and trustworthy litigator. I will always be available for my clients and will bring a personal and professional approach to the representation. I have worked for big firms in the past and wish to bring a more personal touch to the attorney-client representation. When you hire me, you will always deal with me and no one else. Please check out my past client reviews for proven success!
I am a proud father and husband. I love hanging out with family/friends, sports, traveling, reading a great book, and playing various musical instruments, including the drums and guitar. I have very strong spiritual beliefs and have been blessed so far in my career. I work very hard for our clients and believe it is my duty to aggressively represent each and every client as I would a family member.
If you have any questions and would like to speak with me, please give me a call. You can also e-mail me. I will respond back to you as soon as I can.
Yours,
Jon Benjamin, Esq.
