This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Focused, driven, and incredibly intelligent problem solver.

I hired Benjamin while seeking relief from incredibly strict probation. He treated my case like it was his own personal battle. He didn't just get me relief, he got my probation terminated early, which other lawyers told me was impossible. He did it like it was just another Tuesday. He was the first ...person to listen to me through my years of legal struggles. I don't know how to fully describe the gratefulness I feel toward him and I can't recommend him enough. My only regret is not meeting him earlier in my life. If I ever need a lawyer for anything criminal or otherwise, he is my first call.

Super Lawyer

Benjamin Gergen had two felony possession charges dismissed for me and I have seen him work wonders for two close friends. If you have criminal charges in Travis county then figure out a way to hire this lawyer.

BEST IN AUSTIN

Benjamin Gergen is THE best! He has character & experience! He was my 2nd attorney and I wish I knew him first! He starts work immediately! Very good at communicating and breaking down legal vocabulary so you understand everything that’s going on in your case!

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • 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.
