Best Lawyer Ever

I contacted several lawyers regarding my case. Benjamin is the only lawyer that went out of his to actually call me back with information on my case and was well informed about the details. On top of that he’s very articulate at explaining things and letting you know up front. As soon as I hired Mr. ...Gergen he was right on my case extremely fast and let me know everything that was going on. I did get the positive results (discharged early) because this man did everything 15/10 communication and work ethic. I would recommend this lawyer to anyone. 6 stars

Best lawyer I’ve ever had

Best lawyer ever, will work and go the extra mile to make sure you are getting your moneys worth, Just be honest with him and he will do the rest you wont be disappointed you will be in good hands. You can ask him anything you want he is always willing to help. Im glad I finally met someone that tr...ies to help you! And will fight the court for you if necessary. His number is on my emergency contacts and became a friend you can trust he will do his best.

BEST lawyer in Austin!

Honestly, he is the best lawyer in Austin, hands down. Over the year and a half working on my case he was very knowledgeable and confident, which kept me confident. He kept me in the loop, he’s very smart, and knows his stuff. In the end, he beat my case with a motion to suppress the stop. I highly ...recommend him!

Wonderful attorney

I hired Ben Gergen on behalf of my boyfriend. He was on parole and being revoked. Mr. Gergen was basically going in to this blind folded and with no notice to really prepare for anything being the hearing was only 2 days away. I met him face to face the first time the same day as the hearing in the p...arking lot of the jail we went over and brushed up on everything he went inside met my boyfriend came back out and knew himself he was being railroaded. Needless to say he jumped on board and went to battle. He was a champ, is a champ!! We won the hearing and my boyfriend is bejng reinstated with his, parole and should be back home sometime soon. Paperwork shuffling is all that's left to be completed. Benjamin is a go getter for sure. He's not afraid to jump in head first if need be. I highly recommend him for any case you may need his expertise with. He won't steer you wrong.
