Take your money elsewhere.

Absolute waste of money. $10,000 to be exact. Was offered a plea before hiring Ben and ended up with the same plea after spending $10,000. Never even saw a discovery. No communication, The man is a waste of money. DO NOT HIRE THIS FIRM.

Bad lawyer

He is very rude & will go off what the State attorney says as if he works with them he Works for Scott Rosenblum firm now & he overloaded Ben with his cases which Making him very frustrated & Ben would take it out on you i wouldn’t recommend no one to him while he is under that firm because he is not... Focus on your case as he should be he would push your court date back without tellin you he is just very unprofessional & is not a good lawyer at this moment it’s much much better lawyers in the st Clair area & if I wouldn’t paid so much money I would’ve switch & Ben is not my actually lawyer Scott Rosenblum is but he works for For him & Ben is on my case & he is doing a very bad job in my case got my very concerned on my life & this is my first offense no one got hurt and my guns was legal I just had marijuana & I paid this man as If I murder someone isn’t ridiculous

In affective and inadequate representation

Hired him to represent me in a serious yet minor matter. Have a poor past history but enough mitigation and verifiable positives as proof of a life turned around well and truly. Quoted $4200 to conclusion of case. Paid $3500 over 18months and never even received discover on the case. When I wouldn’t ...accept a blind plea and said set case for trial he promptly demanded the remaining $700 and quit. Always excuses, never any serious attempt to resolve and no interest in the outcome as it would affect the remainder of my life. Never provided billing history or explanation of expense. Just took the money, cut bait and ran.

Confident and straight to the point

Ben has helped myself, my husband, and ask some of our friends through court cases in St. Clair & Madison county. Initially, when calling around for consultations with lawyers, most of them didn’t want to “promise” or even explain what they could do for us, but Ben confidently explained the process o...f what we should expect in our case, from beginning (arraignment & prelims) to the end (the outcome that he desired to hold at the conclusion). In my husbands most recent case, we spoke to him on the phone, he quoted us the most reasonable price of anyone else around, explained everything throughly, and was on the phone with the States Attorney working on a compromise within 20 minutes of being hired. I retained him on a criminal case last year, and mentioned that I had a family case one morning, and he showed up, and with only a 5 minute briefing of the situation, Ben won the case for me and got me the outcome that I needed. I was floored by his quick thinking and wittiness in the courtroom, more so, his passion for truly helping his clients. I plan on using him for anything my husband or I might need to in the future and I continue to refer him out to all family and friends. I am truly impressed by his professionalism, knowledge, and confidence, all while maintaining an approachable personality. Super friendly and funny, he has it all!
