Best decision. Best lawyer. Highly recommend.

I live out of state and got into a sticky situation while in Nashville. I was recommended to use Ben as my lawyer, and it was the best advice! Ben was kind, helpful, patient and inexpensive for the extraordinary work he has done. He was very responsive and always on point. He has gone above and beyon...d to help me, and he will do the same for you. 10/10 Definitely recommend Ben if you need legal help. Thank you!

Order of Protection

I can't say how much I appreciate having found Ben to represent me at a very crucial time considering the circumstances. I was summoned to appear in Nashville at a time when I could not travel from out of state to be there due to family reasons, but also the COVID pandemic. He reassured me that he co...uld handle my case remotely via Zoom. That was the first relief I needed. Secondly, he showed me professionalism and also genuine concern about my situation that allowed me to calm down in confidence knowing I would most certainly have a positive outcome. He knows his stuff and it is clearly evident. He is also thorough and pays attention to detail. I had a glitch in the format of some content that he needed from me to support the case. It took me a while to get exactly what he needed. While it was a little frustrating on my part since I had tried all means to get the information in the format he needed it in, plus it was so time consuming, he continued to encourage me during the process and reaffirm why that information was important for the case. His relentless support enabled me get the final version of information he needed. The good news is the case was dismissed and he went ahead to file the process to expunge my record and that in itself has been successfully ordered. My family and I appreciate him so much. I must mention that all this he did at a fairly reasonable flat fee compared to other quotes I had obtained from the same Nashville area

GREAT ATTORNEY

I hired Benjamin for a case and boy am I glad I did. I live 1000 miles away he not only got me completely off but I did not even have to fly down for the pre-trial :) he is extremely honest and basically told He charged me a flat rate and alway worked hard during my whole problem to get me off. ...

Posted by Sharon | February 14, 2020 | Social Security

Honest

He confirmed that claiming my rights according to law is going to cost me more than what I'm going after cost in the first place. That the law doesn't do much to help anyone unless you have money and even then there's no guarantee. His advice was what I expected it to be. Still have no solution...I a...m on social security just trying to get what belongs to me according to the law. The holders of my property are by law stealing my property.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • 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.
