Family 75%

My college major was in finance, I am a Certified Public Accountant, and I worked as an auditor with KPMG before I went to law school. So I am comfortable handling the types of financial issues that arise in divorces. Yet, the part of my job that I enjoy the most (and I do enjoy doing what I do for a living) is handling child custody cases. Children are the real innocent parties in divorces. And I like to think that I help to protect them.

Exception Job by Jeff Bennett

I cannot speak highly enough of Jeff Bennett. Their dedication, expertise, and unwavering commitment to my case were truly exceptional. From our very first meeting, it was clear that Jeff Bennett was not just interested in my legal issue, but in me as a person. They took the time to understand my con...cerns, patiently answered all my questions, and laid out a clear strategy for how to proceed. Throughout the entire process, Jeff Bennett demonstrated an impressive depth of knowledge and a meticulous attention to detail. They navigated the complexities of my case with skill and precision, always keeping me informed and updated. Their communication was prompt and thorough, ensuring that I felt reassured and well-prepared every step of the way. What truly sets Jeff Bennett apart is their genuine compassion and empathy. They approached my case with a level of care and understanding that went beyond their role as a lawyer. Jeff Bennett not only advocated fiercely on my behalf but also provided invaluable support during what was a challenging time for me. Thanks to Jeff Bennett expertise and tireless advocacy, we achieved a successful outcome that exceeded my expectations. I am forever grateful for their professionalism, integrity, and the personal touch they brought to my case. Without hesitation, I would recommend Jeff Bennet to anyone seeking exceptional legal representation.

The best!

Best divorce attorney I ever had. I did not have to tell him to do anything--he did everything I needed him to do and more. He anticipated things I had not considered. Totally on my side and fought like a bulldog!

Guardian Angel for Children

Mr. Bennett has been my attorney since 2006 and on all of my twenty eight hearing in court that were needed to protect my daughter, unfortunately from her own mother, by making sure he as was always prepared and always made sure that all information provided to the courts was factual, accurate, and ...of court due to both him as my attorney and me as the father, always putting the interest of my daughter first, the courts were able to see the truth and rule in my favor on every occasion because the courts were able to see based on all of the available evidence that ruling in my favor was in the best interest of my daughter. He is a very experienced, professional, and skilled attorney that always goes into court with the children's best interest for all of his clients as the foundation and motivation in all of his dealings and due to his high integrity that he exhibits daily in the courts and due to this the courts respect him and know that he has the highest character that is exhibited daily in all of his dealings in the courts. I recognized that the most important decision I made was choose the attorney god delivered to me to help protect my daughter and I have and will continue to recommend Mr. Bennett to any parent that I know truly has their children's best interest as the foundation for the reason they want to hire one of the best possible attorney for their children' best interest.

Family lawyer | Jun 14

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I usually don't endorse attorneys as successful as Jeff, but do here for 2 reasons. The first is Jeff's genuine passion for finding answers for the client (and the court). Of course, that's what an attorney is supposed to have, but it's generally a quality found in new lawyers. Jeff's been around long enough to have lost this passion - he hasn't. It's why I like working with him. The second reason sort of feeds the first. Jeff is one of a few family attorneys here in town with a big-firm background. He was a partner at one of New Orleans' biggest law firms. What does that mean for his clients? Only that their attorney understands procedure, deadlines, and litigation tactics better than 99% of the attorneys they'll encounter in the family practice. The bottom line? There are plenty of attorneys WILLING to help you; there are plenty of attorneys CAPABLE of helping you. There aren't many who are both - Jeff is one and he gets my highest recommendation."
