Brian F. Bennett : knowledgeable, wise and nondramatic

For my first criminal court case, I greatly appreciate the services performed by Mr. Bennett and his staff. Brian met with me the day after my arrest, minutes before scheduled court appearance and explained things. I thought My billing charges were very reasonable. I was able to concentrate on my wor...k and my electrical business without worry of going to jail. Brian drafted all the paperwork necessary to facilitate the reconciliation required by the court while working a ton of other responsibilities, not to mention doing volunteer work for our county's veterans. I hope I never have to do this again, but I would not hesitate to Call Mr. Bennett's firm and definitely recommend him to anyone who finds themselves in a bad situation.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have known Brian for a bunch of years already. He has an agile mind and projects great presence in court hearings. Recently we worked on separate criminal cases for the same defendant. Brian cut easily through the several logjams we encountered, to reach a good result."
