Very knowledgeable and experienced

A credit reporting issue required me to hire a lawyer for the first time ever. From start to finish I had no worries. The whole staff was extremely professional and competent when it came to answer any questions I had along the way. They took the time to walk me through the process and made sure th...at I had all the information I needed. Mr. Bingham provided me with expert legal help and I was kept in the loop every step of the way. He was able to work with opposing counsel to negotiate a very favorable settlement. I am very satisfied with the outcome and I would highly recommend this law firm.

Extremely Effective

My wife's father passed away recently. In her time of grief, one of her brothers filed a will leaving the entire estate to him. We were very suspicious and decided to hire an attorney. To our good fortune, we hired Ben Bingham. He immediately went to work investigating the situation. In the end, he d...iscovered that the will was fraudulent and got us a favorable settlement in probate court. Ben is professional, knowledgeable, and understanding. We highly recommend him.

"Ben and I have worked on opposite sides on a matter. He brings professionalism to the table while serving as a tireless advocate for his clients."

Bankruptcy and debt lawyer | Sep 29

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Ben Bingham is one of the few lawyers in San Antonio that is capable of handling bankruptcy court litigation. Litigation in state court is one thing, but litigation in bankruptcy court is quite different. Whenever someone asks me for a referral to an attorney that handles bankruptcy litigation in San Antonio, I give them Ben's contact information. Ben is also one of the few lawyers in San Antonio that has extensive experience in handling claims under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA). I have referral several clients to him over the years and have only heard good things about him from those clients."
