Liar

Benjamin is the worst public defender lexington has. He lies to his clients, he misses numerous court dates, and doesn't keep his word about anything. If you end up with me as a public defender, you better off representing yourself.

Don’t

He is the worst lawyer you could get! He takes forever with your requests and he doesn’t seem to be on top of things

Terrible communication

We can never get ahold of him. Never returns a phone call. And has not shown up for 2 court dates. Have supplied him with evidence I'm innocent and with phone numbers of people that shows I was where I say I was but yet has called anyone. Never will explain or discuss my case. Last court date he sent... his wife in the middle of court to say he couldn't be there. Don't recommend him at all to represent anyone. Might as well do it urself. This is my life he's messing with tearing my fily apart. We've lost everything a good lawyer would have already proved I'm innocent and gone after the guilty guy who's admitted he did it!!!!!

Keeps you in the dark.

Does not answer or even tell you anything about your case unless you call him thirty times. Do yourself a favor and hire a real attorney, if possible.
