Waste of time and money!

Do not waste your time or money! I don't know where his head was at but not on my case. He missed filing dates, and acted like it was me. He filed motions without even speaking to me first. I had to constantly refresh his memory on everything. He flat out lied about what he was going to be able to d...o and then never even tried once he had the retainer. Completely unprofessional! My dog could have represented me better than Brian.

Would not recommend for child support case

Sells his service well up front. After he gets you to pay his retainer hes non existant till day of your hearing. When he shows up late has no time to go over your case. He then goes thru your hearing haphazardly saying it will be ok. When it goes bad he says we can file an objection then leaves ever...ything up to you, an when you do get ahold of him he makes it seem like your bothering him, says he will call you back an ignores you moving forward. Will never recommend him to any father trying to defend himself from getting screwed in court

Threatend to sue client if client posted a poor review. Please review this attorneys history of misconduct before choosing.

Very thorough

I would highly recommend Attorney Benbow. We hired him to represent my son for his judicial release. He also represented my son for his appeal. My son won both the judicial release and his appeal, due to Mr Benbow's thoroughness on my son's case. Attorney Benbow always returned my calls even after ho...urs. He answered all my questions and explained any concerns I had. His staff were very polite and made sure he received every message I left concerning the case. He represented my son extremely well. I have and will continue to recommend Attorney Benbow. If you are in need of an attorney I urge you to contact him

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2019.

Placed On Probation issued in OH, 2019

updated on 12/08/2020

Probation means an attorney did something wrong but may still practice law. The State monitors the lawyer's activities for a period of time in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.

Suspension For Term issued in OH, 2018

updated on 10/25/2019

Suspended for term means an attorney lost his or her license to practice law for a period of time. The attorney typically returns to practicing law when the suspension expires.

Brian’s comment:

“I am currently licensed to practice law and under no current suspension. I will explain the facts and circumstances of this unusual scenario to anyone who asks.”
