Benjamin Arens McBride's Lawyer Endorsements
"I have known Ben McBride for several years, both through his service to the community as an assistant prosecutor in Greene County, and now as a fellow criminal defense attorney. He is respected both in the legal community and in the recovery community. Ben is an excellent lawyer and cares for those he helps. Southwest Missouri has a great need for immigration attorneys, and I am thankful that Ben has decided to fill that need. I recommend him wholeheartedly!"
"Ben is a very talented and experienced trial attorney. I highly recommend him for criminal defense."
"I met Mr. McBride when I was a lowly intern with the Greene County Prosecuting Attorney's Office. If you are looking for a criminal defense attorney, you would be wise to give him a call - the experience he brings from his time as a PA will be an asset to your case."
"Ben is a great attorney that cares about his clients. He is who I send all my clients with criminal needs to."
"I endorse this lawyer. Ben was a smart, tough prosecutor, and uses his experience as a prosecutor to his clients' advantage in criminal defense. Ben is an attorney you can trust to know how to handle any case."
