About Benton
Biography
After graduating cum laude from South Texas College of Law in May of 2013, Benton moved back to his hometown of Cameron to open up a general law practice, and help run his family’s agriculture and livestock business. Benton made his name as a trial attorney and litigator in many legal areas — from business, commercial, and family law disputes to personal injury, probate, real estate, and criminal law cases — as well as an appellate lawyer, and asset and judgment recovery specialist.
Benton is admitted to practice in the state of Texas and the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, and has served clients in the Federal Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Texas, Texas Appellate Courts, State Office of Administrative Hearings for various administrative law issues, and belongs to multiple sections of the State Bar of Texas serving commercial, technological, and estate planning interests. Benton’s extensive experience resolving business disputes includes complaints involving securities fraud, FINRA and SEC violations, agricultural and agistment agreements, speculative commodities hedging by national brokerage firms, international aviation claims, warranty and licensing rights, construction defects, shareholder and business interests, and automotive-mechanics in commercial transport arrangements. Benton’s background in family and probate law includes guardianship and heirship proceedings, will contests, trust and estate administration, CPS claims, actions under multi-jurisdictional compacts like the UCCJEA, termination and adoption suits, and divorce and child custody cases.
