He helped me through a felony charge

So from the very beginning, from the consultation to being hired, Ben was very upfront and super informative with me. I got charged with a felony because of cbd testing positive for thc. Ultimately a law being passed is what got the case dismissed but Ben was ready to fight this through with me. ...Every time I went to court I felt great because Ben would show he was invested in it with me. Again i just want to say thank you and definitely not hoping to get in trouble again but if I do I’m calling Ben.

Ben Pearce

My boyfriend and I were arrested around new years for public lewdness.. We consulted with Mr. Pearce before hiring him, and he gave us a thorough break down of all the possible outcomes. He answered every question we had and was very knowledgeable. Although our cases were considered separate Mr. Pear...ce took care of us both and scheduled everything together so we wouldn’t be alone. He then proceeded to tell us the route he would personally take if we were to hire him and was very assuring and realistic. Within the first court date he made a deal with the prosecutors, we had to complete 6 short hours of community service and the case would be dismissed. As soon as we completed these hours and informed Mr. Pearce he immediately got in contact with the prosecutors and got it dismissed and we do not have to appear in court again. He is very professional, knows what he is doing and has his clients best interest . I would recommend him to anyone who is going through the same thing or anything different. Thank you Mr. Pearce!

Great Lawyer !

Ben was very understanding when dealing with my resisting arrest case. I was unsure of how the system works however Ben explained each step of the process and my case was subsequently dismissed. Many Thanks

Couldn't ask for more!

Unfortunately this was not my first time needing a lawyer. With that being said this is the first time I have been represented by a lawyer I was recommended and not a court appointed lawyer. From the gate Ben was honest and up front about my options and possible outcomes. The cost was more than fair ...(I've called around before selecting him) he did everything exactly the way he said he would and was able to have my case dismissed. I didn't even have to show back up to court because HE put in the necessary work. If ever the situation arises again I'll be giving him a call. I recommend you do the same.

Thank you Ben Pearce

There are many great and amazingly positive things I can say about Mr. Pearce here and just explain to the world that he is a great lawyer, but this is not the case. Ben is a miracle worker as a remarkable lawyer and human being. He is kind an generous am always willing to listen, answer the phone an... give advice. He takes care of his clients the way people should be taken care of. He honestly saved my future. I was caught in quiet the mess and he assured me at every dark run that everything will be ok and I believed him. The relationship for me formed from client an employer, to friends actually real friends who to this day still looks out for me and makes sure everything is ok and going smooth. What makes him so outstanding is that he cares. That is why now and always anybody that send out a cry for help who is honest and in need, I will refere Ben Pearce a leading successor down the road of justice an victory.

"Ben was my intern while he was still in law school. I was very impressed with his drive and ambition to do criminal defense work. He interned at the DA's office the next summer to get a perspective of the other side. As soon as Ben passed the bar, I hired him. He has excelled quickly and has had great results getting very serious cases no-billed and dismissed. He is a great asset to my firm and to the defense bar."
