Ben did a Fantastic Job!

Very Informative and Friendly

Ben was very informative and went into great detail on how to navigate through my case. He made sure I understood what penalties I was facing and how he was going to help me in my case. I also felt more at ease with the embarrassing situation I put myself in. He was great at negotiating with the prosecutor and knowledge of the Judge at hand along with making sure I had enough time to get prepared & space out my penalties. I have already recommended Ben & the office of Meany & Patrin and that party was also very satisfied with their results.
