wonderful Lawyer

Ms. Benson handled my difficult and time consuming divorce. I could not have been happier with her services. She handled every aspect of the divorce with professionalism, a high ethical standard, and compassion. She was respectful to all parties at all times, gave reasonable and thought-out advice..., and fought for my best interest without looking to take advantage of opposing counsel. She made every effort to keep legal fees reasonable and did not look to overcharge unnecessarily. She is the best!

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.

Best Lawyer!!

Annette and her staff took a scary situation and made it much less scary. She took care of me and my family as though we were her own family! She is a very knowledgeable attorney that will fight hard for the truth and the best interest of her clients. I will always be grateful to Annette for what she... was able to accomplish for myself and my family. I would highly recommend her and her staff to anyone going through a difficult divorce or child custody case!

Annette J. Benson is the BEST lawyer

Annette and her staff made me feel very comfortable with the first phone call. Anyone who answered the phone at Annette's law firm was always able to answer questions I had or got me to the right person to get my questions answered. I was surprised when my husband filed divorce papers. I was living... out of state working. This made the divorce even harder to deal with in my eyes. Annette and her staff made the divorce amicable for both myself and my husband. I would recommend Annette and her law firm to anyone!
