The BEST board certified divorce attorney in Polk county

Jesse Bennett was fair in his charges - 15k less than I expected to pay AND he got me EXACTLY what I wanted to settle for. He was recommended by a great attorney friend. I love this man and so glad I secured Jesse Bennett as MY attorney to represent me. So glad to have chosen Jesse Bennett !

Calm Expertise

Jesse J Bennett Jr. brings calm to an emotionally charged time. I'll start by saying Jesse and I first met in 2006 and have been working together in a client/attorney relationship since 2007. Due to no fault of my own my now ex and I have been in constant litigation since that time. With Jesse's e...xpertise in family law and his less is more approach I've receive no doubt the best legal counsel possible at a fair and reasonable rate. If you want honest, hardworking and intellectual representation than Jesse J Bennett is your man. Having gone before 4 different judges on roughly 5 different occasions I never cease to be amazed at how brilliant and prepared that Mr. Bennett is. His attention to detail is mind blowing. I've watched as Mr. Bennett has render the testimony of countless experts complete and utter foolishness. Although I detest the constant litigation being brought against me, I can honestly say I love to observe Mr. Bennett at work. On a side note we have prevailed in all cases. Jesse J Bennett Jr. will lead you through the process with honest, direct, knowledgeable service. Unlike a lot of attorneys out there that offer flattery words and fluff that in the long run will result in them running up your bill, Jesse will lead you in a direction that will actually produce results with integrity. Mr. Bennett will shoot straight with you every time rather it is what you want to hear or not. Follow his leadership and you'll be fine. I highly recommend Jesse J Bennett Jr.!

Great Guy used for mediation

He is a very kind man, He has done mediation for me once, he seemed very honest and he was very cordial and nice did not seem to be taking either side which was a good thing. I think i should have gotten him in the beginning then would have never had any problems because he would have seen to it tha...t I got what I deserved as best he could, what a heck of a guy. A Southern gentleman!

An excellent & efficient lawyer

I met Mr. Bennett via a referral. From the first day he took over my divorce he inspired a sense of confidence that he never disappointed He kept my expectations realistic and more importantly he was able to deliver on his word. His communication of informaton was alway timely. He brought about a... favorable conclusion through a chaotic and emotional divorce experience; and his fees were fair and honorable. I would highly recommend Mr. Bennet as a divorce attorney..

He is exceptionally well thought of by the local judiciary as well as other lawyers. I consider him an exceptional family law attorney and I have no reservation in referring anyone in the Central Florida area who needs divorce or family law services to Mr. Bennett. His knowledge and advocacy for his clients is apparent, and should be a comfort to anyone facing a divorce, support or custody case. He is very resourceful.
