My recommendation

I have been represented by Benny Agosto in two cases, both resulting in excellent outcomes and exceeding my expectations. The last time I worked with Benny was a special one due to the fact that I recommended his services to 14 of my work colleagues. They all took my advice with some reservations, bu...t after the results of their cases, they all were very pleased and satisfied and thankful for the recommendation. These are some of the reasons I would not hesitate to use his services again if needed.

Auto Accident

It was wonderful having Benny Agosto for a lawyer. He was very professional and explained everything perfectly. He got us the maximum amount of money and was a very nice person. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him or use him again.

Changed my life!

The absolute worst thing that could happen to anyone is sexual assault. Anyone! I was afraid to say anything for fear that my voice wouldn't be heard. Turns out, I was right. The local PD ignored my report that took so much for me to do to begin with. Many people are assaulted and those people are ne...ver the same again. I can honestly say that includes me. I was referred to Benny Agosto over a year after my assault. My first attorney wasn't brave enough to stand up to the wealthy opposition. Benny never wavered. Benny and Shari, his assistant literally held my hand through the toughest legal battle of my life. Benny never gave up on me and with his professionalism, knowledge and strength, the opposition was FORCED to comply. I am a single mother with a 23 year old mentally disabled son. I must work to provide for both of us for the duration of our lives. When something renders a person like me unable to function, leave my home or even eat, it is life threatening. My whole experience was life threatening for my son and me. I am forever grateful for Benny Agosto and his firm for assuring that some kind of justice was served. I only wish that the Galveston PD had done their jobs as well. Now that it's over, my son and I can move on. With God's blessings, we will be able to put our lives back together. Thank God for people like Mr. Agosto and his firm. Sometimes the only justice we can get may be a nod, a few dollars or maybe just, "Yes, this shouldn't have happened and we admit that" plus a couple hundred grand.

Golf Cart Injury

When my sister was injured from being thrown from a golf cart our family was devastated . A combination of factors contributed to her injury all of which were caused by third parties, After much family discussion we decided to engage a law firm to represent her interests. We spent quite a while resea...rching firms in our area and every time we got suggestions from our experts Abraham Watkins was always on the list. Based on this information we called Abraham Watkins and were directed to one of their partners, Benny Agosto. Benny met with us that same day and we were very impressed with his professionalism and his kind heart. We engaged Benny and his firm right on the spot. Through out the legal proceedings Benny kept us well informed, was very responsive and proved his capabilities . We ultimately settled the case and could not have asked for better representation. Benny is a "classy" guy and our family will always be thankful . JFE

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.
