Incredible Lawyer and Person

I hired Benham Sims to have my record expunged back in September. I had an assault charge that was 18 years old, and a PI that was 12 years old. He filed the petition for expungement exactly 60 days ago. Today I get a call from Public Relations from my job, stating they received my background check, ...and due to the nature of the charges that I would be terminated. I quickly explained to them that I was working with my lawyer to have it removed but that wasn't enough... they needed paperwork from Jefferson County Court. I immediately called Benham Sims and frantically explained the situation. He checked all data bases and noticed that nothing had moved forward with my case. He informed me he was going to make some calls and that he would contact me soon. 45 minutes later, Mr Sims calls me and tells me that he walked my paperwork over to the court house and had a judge sign off on them, expunging them from my case! I couldnt believe that I went from, being terminated from my job that I absolutely love to Mr Sims intervening, going above and beyond to secure my position at work. I highly recommend Benham Sims to ANYONE who needs assistance getting that second chance in life. Youre more than client at him and will take care of you, doing whatever necessary!

Professional, informative and fast

Mr. Sims was very accessible when first contacted and once hired, lead us through the process, answering all of our questions and frequently following up via phone or email with further explanation. Our son’s expungement was complete much quicker than we expected. I would highly recommend Mr. Sims.

Communication

A caring, knowledgeable attorney who always keeps you informed as your case progresses. Mr. Sims's worked during the difficult time of COVID-19 to keep my expungement moving forward to completion.

Review

Bengal is so professional. He helped with a case that I thought would not end favorably for me. But due to his experience and knowledge, he was able to help me tremendously. Thank you Benham. I highly recommend Mr. Sims for your legal needs.
