A Great Man and The King of Licensure Issues!

If you are fortunate enough to have found Mr. Bob Bennett’s website and are worried about a licensing issue, you’ve found the PERFECT attorney. Mr. Bennett is the BEST LICENSING SPECIALIST IN HOUSTON. I hired Mr. Bennett to represent me before the Texas Board of Law Examiners after I received n...otice from the Board that it had made a preliminary determination that I lacked the good moral character for licensure to practice law in Texas. Receiving this letter induced a high level of fear as I realized that after years spent in law school and a great amount of money, my career and dream were at stake and I knew very little of how the BLE hearing process worked --- certainly not enough to risk so much on my own. Some research on the internet led me to the Bennett Law Firm website where Mr. Bennett has written some articles about character issues with the BLE. I decided to telephone Mr. Bennett, and it is in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped. From our first conversation, Mr. Bennett’s kindness, humanity and professionalism impressed me enormously. I learned that Mr. Bennett has nearly 40 years of experience as a lawyer including over 20 years of experience handling licensing cases of all kinds. His knowledge of the procedure and law relating to licensing is comprehensive and his experience is matchless--- extending to personally knowing many members of Texas’ Board of Law Examiners. Beyond his deep experience, you will find Mr. Bennett to be a great attorney who cares about and wants to know the clients he represents. His diligence, patient, understanding manner, flexibility, and willingness to accommodate his clients set him apart. In my case, despite very short notice, Mr. Bennett agreed to meet me at the close of business on the same day that I called. I was equally impressed by the way Mr. Bennett and his entire staff handled my case. Questions, telephone calls and emails were always addressed promptly. At every step of representation, Mr. Bennett and his staff filled me with confidence so that I never doubted his firm’s competence or the ultimate outcome. Thanks to Mr. Bennett’s preparation and experience, my hearing went effortlessly. He had not only prepared me carefully for the Board's questions so that I knew what to expect during the hearing, but he had personally set with and coached every witness attesting to my good character. With this foundational groundwork laid, Mr. Bennett came forward as a persuasive and convincing advocate in front of the Board. As a result, the Board quickly approved my character and fitness with a minimum of anxiety, stress, or bother. I have no doubt that the quick and easy resolution of my case owes much to deep experience and hard work of Mr. Bennett and his staff. I am indebted to him for the outstanding attention I received along the way and for the aggressive, professional representation of his firm. In the course of our relationship, Mr. Bennett became a friend as much as my attorney; and his talent for this niche of the law grew plain to see. I have met a lifelong friend in Mr. Bennett and would unquestionably recommend him and his staff wholeheartedly to anyone with an issue before the Board of Law Examiners. Not only is he a master of his craft, he is a FASCINATING, UNIQUE and EMPATHETIC MAN who puts genuine efforts behind each of his clients, if his work with me is any indication. If you find yourself with an issue before the Texas Board of Law Examiners my sincere suggestion would be to highly consider retaining the services of Mr. Bennett. I am so glad that I did.

Absolutely the Best Attorney for Licensing Issues

I hired Mr.Bennett to represent me at a hearing in front of the Texas Board of Law Examiners. He is an outstanding attorney who truly cares about representing his clients. You will not find an attorney in Texas who is more professional or thorough in his representation. I first contacted Mr. Benne...tt in early 2010 when it appeared I may be facing character and fitness issues in obtaining my license to practice law in Texas. With my entire future on the line and having no knowledge of how the BLE hearing process worked, I knew this was not the time to practice my newly acquired advocacy skills. My initial contact was by email but Mr. Bennett immediately contacted me by phone even though it was after business hours to help answer my questions. His patience and knowledge of the licensing process was a comfort during my time of great anxiety and emotion. As the date for my hearing approached my emotions and anxiety reached an all time high but Mr. Bennett and his equally professional and knowledgeable staff were able to calm me and keep me focused on the end result providing me with equal amounts of personal concern and professional representation the entire way. This was a very stressful time for me and to have an attorney who not only cares but is also able to remain detached in order to provide you with expert representation is a true rarity. Mr. Bennett personally walked me through the hearing process and was thorough in his guidance and expert advice fully preparing me to speak in front of the Board and making sure I had the proper tools to thoroughly present my case to them. He was very candid with me about the possible outcome and best and worst case scenarios. He was knowledgeable in all aspects, trustworthy and honest continuously going above and beyond what a typical lawyer would. In the end my license to practice law was granted and I will forever be appreciative of all his and his entire staff's hard work and dedication to my case.

Won my ethics case

I hired Bob Bennett to handle my case after the Texas Board of Law Examiners made a preliminary determination that I lacked the present good moral character to be granted a license to practice law in the state. I was extremely impressed in the way Bob and his entire staff handled my case. From my i...nitial consultation when Jeff, Bob's legal assistant, was very familiar with my file, through to the final determination in my favor, Bob and his staff always made me feel confident and comfortable about the representation and outcome. I was especially impressed in the promptness in which both Bob and Jeff responded when I called or emailed with questions and concerns, even on the weekends and in the evenings. My hearing before the board could not have gone more smoothly. Mr. Bennett's experience in front of the board was paramount. He had prepared me (as much as he possibly could have) for the Board's questions, and for what what to expect during the hearing. I felt as comfortable and confident as possible given my situation. The board ruled in my favor. I would recommend Bob Bennett to anyone with BOLE issues.

Best Lawyer in the State For Texas Bar Application Issues

I went to Mr. Bennett because I had character and fitness concerns about my Texas Bar Exam application. He examined my application and was able to tell me whether my concerns were justified. It turns out that I was just being paranoid. But it always helps to have a second opinion when filling out suc...h important papers. Mr. Bennett was able to recite to me chapter and verse numerous questions on the Texas Bar Exam Application. I was truly impressed. Based on his familiarity with the questions, it was obvious that he has done this many times before. Don't take a chance with your future career, if you are worried about character and fitness issues for the Texas Bar Application, then I suggest calling Mr. Bennett today.
