Helpful!

He helped me in my divorce and he’s been very helpful with other questions and needs for my well being and family! He’s core value is honesty and that’s hard to find these days.

Thoughtful insight and simplified processing

We had put off updating our wills and creating healthcare POA/living will for quite sometime. Bennett made an overwhelming task easily understood so we could get the documents in place that will clarify our wishes if we are unable. We appreciate his insight and the clarity he provided so we felt com...fortable. We would highly recommend him and his staff!

Consultation

I set with him, explained what's going on, I received all the information I needed to educate myself from Mr Myer's. Very friendly, good hearted family oriented man, my $50.00 was wait every minute I was with him. Been a woman he didn't even think twice to not help me. Is a fair man. Is not there ...to get anyone but help in every situation. It was my pleasure to meet you Mr Myer's and recommend without any doubt. He's fees are very reasonable too. God bless you Sir. Will return again.

Patient, detailed, intelligent, extremely knowledgeable, great at strategy

Bennett, kept his cool and guided me through an intense and emotionally charged custody and placement case. Even though my ex hired an obscenely expensive attorney who was constantly on the attack just to break you and make you feel small, Bennett kept his cool and helped me keep my cool throughout. ...It’s not always the case with people (and in my personal experience with attorneys) but he actually has a heart! We won our case, thanks to Bennett, my child is safe and happy. Thank you to, Mr. Myers and his team.

Beyond grateful for a job well done

Bennett was beyond amazing! He was very thorough with great follow through. His confidence and knowledge of the law helped put our minds at ease when we felt so uncertain with our custody situation. As the case was wrapping up and things were happening quickly, we felt like we were his main priority ...has he was promptly responding to multiple emails and phones calls, even after hours. We appreciate everything he did for our family and we can't thank him enough!
