Best Lawyer That I've Ever Worked With

Mr. Brian Benken is quite simply THE best lawyer that I have ever had the pleasure of working with and the single most important reason behind my case being outright dismissed. There simply are not enough words to describe just how incredible of a lawyer he is but I will try to do my very best in thi...s review. Beyond just being the absolute consummate professional, Mr. Benken is first and foremost, an amazing human being. When I was first falsely charged with a felony offense, he took out his personal time, dropped everything that he was doing and drove down to personally meet with me at my home to hear every aspect of my case. He listened quietly and paid close attention to every minutia of detail allowing me the opportunity to truly speak my mind to him. What separates Mr. Benken from the average lawyer is his close attention to detail and his rare ability to separate the vital facts from the weeds. He knows exactly what to listen for and what facts are important, allowing for either a complete dismissal or the best possible outcome in any client’s case. No criminal defense lawyer understands the mindset of the Harris County district attorney’s office better than Mr. Benken. Having served as a previous assistant district attorney in Harris County, the prosecutors clearly respect him and understand that he is NOT someone they can just mess around with. However, what’s truly unique about Mr. Benken is that he is a private investigator by trade and so he specializes in really digging into the dirty details of a case, that a lot of other lawyers may miss or quite simply not want to delve into. I can tell you from personal experience in my case, that this aspect alone was the deciding factor in my case being outright dismissed. Mr. Benken dug and dug and dug some more. He was never satisfied. He obtained a plethora of vital facts that ultimately convinced the prosecutor to outright dismiss my case. In summary, Mr. Brian Benken is the consummate professional who will tailor fit your defense to your exact needs to ultimately ensure that you obtain your desired case result as quickly and as efficiently as possible. If you're ever in doubt over who to hire for your criminal defense case, please look no further - Mr. Brian Benken is your man to help get your life back! He’s not just a lawyer to me. He’s truly Family.

Outstanding Representation!

I had the opportunity to work with Brian Benken as he was brought on to assist with my case. Being falsely accused of some serious charges, Mr. Benken went right to work and played a critical role in getting my case dismissed! He was always available to answer any questions throughout the process ...and discuss any concerns that came up. I cannot thank him enough for his work and am forever grateful to him. If you ever find yourself needing an attorney do not hesitate to call Brian Benken!

Superman public defender

On Thursday I request of lower cost or waiver on my scram ankle device; the ignition interlock for the vehicle denied. He went to the judge the very next day. Scram device cost wavered financial hardship. All that done 24 hours. He went far and beyond like no other lawyer I know. My reaction I put my... arms in the air like a NFL referee. "Touch Down". That's a fact of an act!!!
