Best attorney ever!

My experience with Alma was awesome! It was a smooth experience. Never in your wildest dreams do you expect to experience divorce. If you do, Alma Benavides will take great care of you! She always had my back. A friend had referred her to me and she was exactly what I expected! Thanks so much.

Amazing

This lawyer helped me through my adoption process. She communicated the process very clearly to me and explained what documents I would need to print off and where to send it.

Crusader for Justice

Whether you are man or woman, if you have a marital problem, Atty Benavides should be your go-to atty. She got me out of a complicated international divorce/child support situation that another higher priced atty got me into. Tango mucho respeto!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
