Savvy Family Lawyer

Bennett was hired for a difficult situation. He had enough patience and understanding throughout the entire process. In the end result, I obtained what I had hired him for. If you want an experienced family attorney and someone that will listen to your needs then you would want to hire Bennett. Thank...s for making hard situations..........easy

Huge help in my divorce

I do not have much experience with lawyers, but I did talk to a few before deciding on Bennett. He was a good listener. He did not try to push his own agenda or complicate matters to increase his billable hours. He was calm and thorough and thoughtful. He had helpful suggestions when I didn't know wh...at to do. He responded quickly and thoroughly via any medium (text, call, email). Although divorce is never a pleasant experience, I was exceedingly grateful to have had Bennett to help me work through it.

Posted by anonymous | October 16, 2015 | Hired Attorney | Child Support

Calm, confident and capable- everything you need.

After working on my child support and custody case with several different attorneys over the years with mixed results, I am blessed to have found Atty Meyers. He helped me navigate some complex situations and decisions with a deep expertise on not only the letter of the law, but also how things usual...ly play out. In addition to swiftly providing the necessary services (processing forms, finding info), he and his firm did a great job of representing me in (sometimes hostile) negotiations with my daughter's mother. Atty Meyers does not simply provide legal services- he provides council. He helped me wether the storm of some difficult times and keep a clear, action-oriented perspective in order to make the best possible decisions for myself and my child. He's worked with me as a partner to take a long term strategy and handle all the bumps along the way. His honesty, candor and abilities are remarkable. I would not hesitate to recommend Atty Meyers.

Difficult Divorce

Bennett was my lawyer during a difficult divorce. He stuck with me through the entire process and provided sound advice and legal knowledge. I could depend on him to support me even during the most emotional of times. I would highly recommend Bennett. He is honest and has integrity.
