The BEST!

Annette took the time to go over every detail of my case. She was very personal, and attentive! I was well informed through the entire process, and I never felt confused or unsure. Annette listened to my concerns, and was able to explain every detail in a way that put my mind at ease. After years of ...stress and worry, Annette Benson was the answer I was looking for! She’s my family law attorney for life, I have no need to look anywhere els! She’s the best, and I’m more than satisfied by the results she got for me.

Divorce

I was truly lost in the required paperwork that my divorce required. Combined with everything else I had going on in my life, there was no way I could do everything on time or properly. Once I consulted with Annette, It was Case Closed! I was Hooked. I knew that she was the lawyer that I needed an...d wanted to represent me. I Truly felt as if she was a family member just helping me, She's Absolutely Amazing. I'll Definitely call Her again for any of my future needs. R.S.

Client Summary of Annette Benson's Service

Ms. Benson represented me in a very difficult divorce and stood by me through numerous conflicts with my ex-spouse after the agreement was final. She assisted me in every step of the case preparation, she provided outstanding council regarding the financial settlement, she anticipated difficult ques...tions from the court and opposing counsel, she presented my case professionally and persuasively, and when things got tough this woman became a velvet hammer! She maintained her professional edge at all times as she politely, yet forcefully pummeled the opposing counsel's arguments. It's clear that she has earned the Wayne County judges respect. This respect advantaged me during difficult arguments in the court and in the decisions made by the judge. Over the years since the divorce was final, Ms Benson has promptly responded to numerous requests for support and frankly she has never failed me. Great advice, great guidance and great support. When your in front of the judge in these very trying important moments you realize how critical it is to have the right representation. Ms Benson was one of my very best decisions. I encourage anyone who reads this to contact her. I am positive you will achieve the same success I did with her by your side!

Compassionate & Honest

Divorce cases are very delicate for all, including plaintiffs, defendants, and attorneys. Annette was a very competent and compassionate councilor to work with, although she could be very busy. This presented two sides of a coin: if the attorney is always available for your case, then (s)he is prob...ably not that good. If the attorney is good then (s)he is not going to be reachable all the time. However, as divorcing parties, we all wanted immediate attentions most of time. I learned through the process that the divorcing parties needed to manage our own team-members, including attorneys. I had to go through three different attorneys before I engaged with Annette. I had to dismiss the previous 3 attorneys then it was the right time to appoint Annette. There is no perfect scenario or situation in a divorce process or counselling as theories and realities do not always go hand in hand. Annette is an attorney operating her service to her clients in a human level, vs other attorneys would treat clients as products on the shelves: cold and machine-like. It is essential to find an attorney who could connect with you emotionally and professionally. There is no perfect attorney in the world for every case but there is a best one for your own case. My case was extremely complicated and I was not projected fairly at the court due to the incompetency of the previously appointed councilors for five months. Annette was tactful and seasoned to offer strategic insights to turn my case around. I had a very healthy working relationship with Annette right after I appointed her. Any relationship would take efforts from both sides to set up and nourish. Divorce cases are never easy if you need to hire an attorney to represent at the court, anyways. Annette is definitely very confident and strategic to win my case by guiding me to focus on winning the right wars, instead of focusing on winning all battles. Annette is absolutely the right candidate for tough cases and that is why she charges $295 per hour. Professors are hired for under graduate and graduate courses. So is the same case with Annette. You paid what you get. I am very glad that Annette was available to help me finish up my messy divorce. Good luck to find the right attorney to work on whatever your case is and Annette is the definitely one of the best attorneys that I would recommend you consider. As clients pick their own attorneys, attorneys pick their own clients as well. This is a better approach that I believe works out so does Annette.

Annette Benson - the very best lawyer I have ever met

Annette Benson is the very best lawyer I have ever met. Thanks to her intelligence, forcefulness, and amazing persuasiveness, my very complicated divorce case that was keeping me awake at night for months, was resolved quickly, satisfactorily, and at a very reasonable cost to me. Throughout our inter...actions as lawyer and client, Ms. Benson was kind, supportive, efficient, ethical, and very attentive to my emotional and financial needs. I found Ms. Benson through the Internet and was very impressed with her website. At the same time, I was suspicious that she was simply too good to be true. My experience with her proved to me that every promise she makes on her website is true. She will, indeed, fight for you like a pit-bull but treat you and her colleagues in the legal profession with the utmost friendliness throughout. She restored my trust in the legal profession and for that I recommend her warmly to anyone in need of legal counsel. Even though we did not know each other before I hired her services as my lawyer, I consider her now a friend for life.
