Best Attorney hands down

Benjamin is an awesome Attorney and i am very satisfied with the hard work he is putting in towards my case and makes me feel very confident when i walk in the court room with him representing me . He is very straight forward and treats me like family and because i was on time with all payments he ev...en went out of his way to bond me out when i couldnt pay bond up front and i will never forget that. No Lawyer would ever do that for their client. Thanks Ben your the best!

tough case

So, I had a tough case and I expected a 5 to 10 year outcome.. Mr. Gergen got me 2. He's a genius and I would use him again in a heartbeat!

Outstanding Criminal Defense Attorney

This lawyer assisted me in my Travis county criminal case. He carries himself in a very professional manner, and is very personable when you speak with him. He explained my legal issue in a manner that I was able to clearly understand. In addition, he planned an excellent strategy for my defense a...t court before he met me for the first time. He has gone above and beyond what other lawyers typically do for a client with my history in the criminal court. He treated me with respect and spoke to me "man to man". To him, I am not just another cause number or paycheck down at the court house. It is my opinion that he also observed the highest level of legal ethics as my counsel, and is not an attorney who simply agrees with the quick decisions of prosecutors who carry large caseloads and don't take time to fully examine the facts of each individual case. I recommend this attorney to my loved ones, and would use his services again if I need to. He will go the extra mile for his clients.

  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
