Posted by David Cobb | November 29, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

If you are on the fence about this lawyer dont be...

Mr. Bennett is by far the best attorney I have dealt with. He made my trip to Waco very painless to say the least. I was looking at jail time on an MTR, and didn't really have anything as far as a defense goes... walked out of the courtroom with a best case scenario. Like I said, if you are looking f...or an attorney, or are unsure, just do yourself a favor and spend the money on this attorney. 110% satisfied, couldn't be happier. He definitely will not take the weight off your shoulders as far a worry goes, but then again, that's not his job. He doesn't make false promises but he ends up exceeding expectations. I cannot say this enough, if you are confused about who to go to, hire Bennett!

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. Alan is one of the most diligent, competent lawyers a client could find. He is a brilliant trial lawyer, as well as an equally-gifted appellate lawyer. I regularly ask him to serve as co-counsel on my clients' cases. When he accepts, our clients reap the benefit!"

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.
