Ben Trotter. That's my lawyer!

Hiring Ben Trotter was the best decision I could have made! I was notified that I had 2 cases against me by the same company. I sought the advice of friends and some of them referred me to other attorneys. Some of those attorneys never returned my calls or requests for calls via their websites. O...ne attorney, who came highly recommended by a lawyer friend of mine, told me I'd be better off saving the money I would have used to pay her and pay the lawsuits with it. Then, I did my own research and happened upon Ben Trotter. I contacted him, told him the situation, emailed him some of the documentation I had received and within hours he contacted me back with options. After that call, I hired Ben Trotter to handle my cases. Ben's knowledge of debt settlement law is incredible. Every time we spoke he gave me the facts so that I could make a more educated decision. He would tell me what the best and worst case scenarios were. He was very thorough and followed up with me regularly. Before hiring an attorney, I was concerned that I might be coerced into making certain decisions that were perhaps not my best options, simply because it was less work for the lawyer. With Ben, I never felt pressured to make one decision over the other, and always felt comfortable with my decisions based on his explanations of my options. Although I know this will not happen with every case, in my particular situation Ben was able to get both of my cases dismissed. I would highly recommend Ben Trotter and I would hire him again if needed.

Business contract

Ben represented me in a business contract issue. He is a man of his word and did what he committed to do in a timely fashion. When I called or emailed he responded that day. He protected me and always had my best interest on the forefront. The best part is he won my case and I was awarded money an...d his fee was reasonable. I would highly recommend Ben he was a pleasure to work with on this case.

A clear and direct Lawyer

I had a great experience with Ben Trotter representing me. Once I found out that I was being sued for old debt that I had forgotten about, I was in panic. I wanted to quickly end this lawsuit and clear my name. I filled out a quick online consultation and Ben called me the next day. Ben was straightf...orward with how he was going to represent me and the cost of his service. Throughout the ordeal I was in direct contact with Ben. He called me directly to keep me updated and he always answered the phone. Ben called me with a final update saying the company that was filing the lawsuit had now ceased all legal actions. Ben was honest with me, he said that this company could refile the lawsuit but he ensured me he would again represent me.
