Stan Bennett is an established attorney in the community. I have sought his knowledge in a few of my more difficult cases and he has always been courteous and insightful with his ideas and approaches. I have watched Stan argue numerous suppression motions regarding unconstitutional searches and seizures by law enforcement. If there is an issue with a case, Stan is sure to research and present it before the court and argue it with vigor. I endorse him without reservation and always appreciate his time and advice.
