My wife and I and daughter were in a car accident and broke my wrist. He handled my case with another lawyer then opened up his own law firm. He respects and understands your situation and is always willing to help you and much as he can. He has been my lawyer for 4 years I will always use him. I call him if I have a question or worried bout what is happening with the case or just questions. He also was going to help me adopt my wife’s oldest cause I have been in his life since one and his real dad is not in the picture really and was all for me adopting him and he backed out. But I made sure he wasn’t mad. He knows his job and always tries to keep up with his cases. I wanted to say thanks Ben for everything your an awesome lawyer
