Great lawyer!

Mr. Pearce worked hard to get my case dismissed in the face of deceptively edited video evidence in a tough jurisdiction. I wasn't notified that I was even accused of a crime for 6 months. This meant that we were unable to get the complete video of before and after the event in question because the... restaurant where the event took place had already deleted the full video. The accuser worked for the restaurant making the whole situation unjust with this obvious conflict of interest. Mr. Pearce did a great job working with these unfortunate set of circumstances.

State Jail Felony - Dismissed

Arrested for solicitation which is now a state jail felony, I was nervous and spoke to Ben on the phone and hired Ben to represent me. I have never been in trouble before but sitting in jail for 14 hours was too long. Ben represented me and got the judge to allow me to have an alcoholic beverage wh...ile on PR bond. Ben got me a “John’s Class” and small fine - donation to hawc.org. I had been under a lot of pressure and just wanted to live my life. I didn’t and don’t want my job prospects lessened due to error in judgment. I highly recommend Ben if you’re in trouble. He will communicate with you and not leave you waiting for a reply. Thanks Ben!
