Benjamin Kraft Raybin

My 22 year old son was cited for misdemeanor possession. It was his first offense of any kind. I found Ben's name here on Avvo and after reading reviews I found his firm's website and emailed him. Ben was extremely responsive (emailed back immediately) and I was able to speak to him on the phone righ...t away. He was understanding and he made us feel comfortable in an uncomfortable situation. He thoroughly explained everything so we knew exactly what to do and what to expect. He made the whole process as painless as possible without costing us a fortune. I'm so grateful to have found him and we recommend him without reservation. Ben was there with my son in court on his booking date and with Ben's expert guidance, the charge was dismissed and expunged after a four hour class. I would not have wanted my son to try to navigate that situation without representation and Ben was wonderful!!!

In short Ben Raybin recently helped my family through a difficult time. From the first phone call he took the time to listen to me explain what I could and asked me questions to help elaborate on specifics. He also suggested for me to send him information that I had not thought of. I wrote MANY emai...ls over a 2 week period; everyone he read and responded too. He never made me feel like I was bothering him with my persistent questions and concerns. Most importantly the outcome of our case was VERY GOOD. I am very happy with the service he provided and would recommend him to anyone that needed an attorney in Nashville! Thank you again Ben for all you did!

If you have been charged with DUI in Davidson County TN you need to look no further than Ben Raybin. After reviewing the details Ben was very frank in his assessment of my case and the different options we had moving forward. He did not sugarcoat his abilities or give me a false sense of security. A... potential criminal conviction can really increase one's anxiety levels so to have someone clearly and honestly break down potential and likely outcomes really helped assuage some of my fears. Ben did his research and came up with an effective defense tailored to my case. It was at court, however, that Ben's qualities were truly demonstrated. The first thing I noticed was that Ben knew EVERYBODY. Every lawyer and prosecutor that passed had a friendly word for Ben- something that was not the case for some of the other attorneys. For a young professional to be this well connected indicates that Ben has made both favorable impressions as well as spent the time to get to know the major players in the local legal scene. These factors went further to reduce my apprehension about the case. Ben knew based on the prosecutor we had what likely options were available to us and was able to negotiate a successful plea deal using the evidence he had collected prior to the trial. I was thoroughly impressed and I was not alone; a fellow lawyer (whom appeared to be twice his age) approached him after court and remarked to him "how on earth did you manage that? that would have never worked for me!" All in all I couldn't have been happier with the outcome of my court case. Ben was professional, friendly, reassuring, knowledgeable, and just about every other superlative I could chuck at him. When you are facing criminal charges like a DUI you want someone on your side who knows how the game works. Ben Raybin not only knows the rules of the game but how do play it as well.

I have a concealed carry permit, with registered weapons and was arrested and charged with Public Intoxication along with an Illegal Weapons Charge due to the fact that I wouldn't give the arresting officer my handgun. I was in a local fast food restaurant and a friend of mine had a medical emergency... and the manager on duty called for what I thought was going to be help. First to arrive was a Nashville Metro Officer and the first question asked was "How bout you let me hold that gun?", polietly I responded "There is no need for you to take possesion of my handgun." as I was attending to my injured friend. I informed the officer I have an up to date permit and gave him the permit and ID. Goes to his car, runs my information and comes back with another officer. Everything checks fine yet they still insist I give them my weapon, told them it is my Constitutional Right to posess and carry my REGISTERED firearm and there was no need for them to hold my weapon. Cuffs, and a car ride followed. The next day I researched the internet for Nashvilles best Criminal Defense Attorney and Mr. Raybin's name kept coming back at the top of the list. Contacted Mr. Raybin and informed him of my situation and he said he would be more than happy to do all he could for me. Upfront the first thing he did was research similar cases and informed me that getting my weapon returned was very doubtful. Went to first court apperance and Mr.Raybin had the best deal imaginable already accepted by the DA before the Judge even took the Bench, was still no garauntee on the return of the weapon he informed me. Not only did Mr. Raybin get ALL charges expunged with no court cost incurred, my weapon was also returned to me. This was the first time I had ever been in the Criminal Court system and Mr. Raybin was an invaluable asset to my case. He was honest, straight up with me and is definitely respected by everyone in the court room. I am no court system expert but I couldn't imagine this process going any smoother, faster and stress free due to Mr. Raybin's help. When he kept coming back as the best with the extensive research performed before hiring an attorney it was true. He was very professional, honest and prompt in keeping me updated on any changes in my case. He is truley the BEST.

Ran in to a little trouble while on vacation in TN. I'm from out of state so I needed someone who could help me out and try to keep me from having to fly back in town to handle this myself. Ben was recommended to me and for that I was very grateful. He answered my phone call at 6:30pm and the lines o...f communications from start to finish were seamless. This young lawyer has what it takes to get your problems handled in a timely, professional manner. I highly recommend Ben's services.
