Walter Joseph Benson

I paid $3,000.00 for an OVI case. He told me that Judge McKenney required as a condition of my bond I would have to wear a SCRAM unit on my ankle, otherwise, I would spend the entirety of my case in jail until resolved. That was the 2nd week of November 2021. Since State Trooper Sweazy (Sleazy) lied ...in his report, proved by the video and audio recordings, he was going to "argue, request, demand, plea, fight for, etc." for a "motion to dismiss," essentially drop the charge. I wore a SCRAM alcohol monitor on my ankle. I had to buy new hair products, lotion, and toothpaste, and avoid EVERYTHING that contained alcohol. I developed a severe rash, skin rotted away, and was bleeding from the SCRAM ankle bracelet (They should be illegal !!). Then, I was switched to a unit I had to carry and blow into every couple of hours. My February court date (1st week of February) he canceled because Walter said he had COVID, but when I talked to him, he was on vacation! He said he couldn't get another court date until March 15th, 6 weeks later. On that day, when he is to interrogate the State Trooper in the court in front of Judge McKenney and present the evidence of the officer lying (he said the cop didn't lie, he "embellished"), he told me the judge "doesn't like to grant dismissals." Grant? This isn't a "grant." Also, he tells me this after being subjected to the SCRAM unit for 4 1/2 months, which is punishment without judgment, and having to go back to work at my seasonal office job, I conceded (regrettably) to accepting the charge of an OVI first offense. Walter Benson manipulated me, lied to me, and put me through torture to wear me down because he got paid $3,000.00 upfront and didn't and wouldn't do anything for me nor in the case of justice. He also threatened a liability case against me when I wrote a negative review on Google. I ABSOLUTELY WOULD NOT RECOMMEND HIM. I believe most of his reviews are fake since most of the people have only given 5 or fewer reviews and all write the "same" sentences. Anybody can create emails/identities and write reviews. Do your research if you don't believe me. Look at the Barberton court docket, read the proceedings, and see the outcomes of his cases. DON'T waste your money, time, and peace of mind on this attorney.

I HIGHLY recommend Walt Benson for anybody needing an attorney. Attorney Benson worked very diligently & professionally to achieve the exact outcome that I was hoping for. He is very knowledgeable in his field & the most reliable person I have ever worked with. He updated me quickly & informatively t...hroughout the whole case. I could not have asked for a better attorney.
