Benjamin Jacob Carrasco

Divorce is never easy, and mine was particularly nasty. I can unequivocally say that hiring Ben was the best decision I made throughout the process. Ben is an brilliant, honest, and efficient attorney. He takes the time to help you understand the process, and his response time to emails and phone cal...ls is absolutely stellar. I don't want to set expectations high- but in my case it seemed like he never took a weekend off. Ben is brilliant in court. He made effective arguments on my behalf that I believe lead to a better than expected outcome for me. He even took the court granted lunch hour to do research to help bolster our case instead of grabbing a well deserved bite! Unlike some lawyers, Ben is not court averse. While he is quite happy to work with the other party to avoid lengthy litigation if it is in the best interest of his client, he is equally willing to stand up for his clients interest at trial. In my experience, the court is where Ben's knowledge and intelligence really shines through. He is highly effective in the courtroom. His practice also has a very lean and efficient billing system that does not look to find ways to inflate fees. You pay for the work he does, and it is well worth it! I cannot recommend Ben enough. His rare combination of brilliance and personal integrity make him a pleasure to work with. If you find yourself in the position of needing a divorce attorney, you can't go wrong with Ben.

Wow! What a Top Notch Litigator! Due to unforeseen life circumstances which involved pursuing legal actions against employer among other high ranking officials. I was now embroiled in a divorce property case dispute. After 9 distrusted attorneys whom I terminated. Ben was highly recommended to me b...y new-comer in my neighborhood. After subsequently experiencing unethical,dishonest and fraudulent attorneys. I was suspicious and cautious in the reliability of another attorney. I confided in my uncle whom is a well respected retired US Congressman. He advised me to allow my intuition to guide me on hiring an attorney. Upon my initial consultation and observation with Ben. He demonstrated professionalism,confidence,dignity,superb legal intellect and a warrior spirit. Throughout my case, Ben was ON ALL OCCASIONS available and prompt to respond to emails/phone calls during times that most would consider after hours. I was at ease on disclosing private matters in confidentiality. Ben's consistent patience in explaining the status,details and developments of my case were exceptional. His diligence and meticulousness were evident with his correspondence and motions which were well-written and well-cited. Extremely satisfied with his superior negotiations/communication skills. It was apparent in court that Ben prepares for trail. Ben is a bull dog when confronting non-reasonable individuals. Ben is no push over. When the other side tried to use coercive tactics, Ben powerfully and vigorously spoke up to the court. It was evident when Ben interacted with opposing counsel that Ben steers away from the good ol' boys network which was essential to ease my speculation of wrongdoing. Ben fought to great extent for me and my child to maintain our homestead while my husband was non compliant and greedy with property division which involved several real estate homes. My daughter and I are extremely grateful for Ben's successful outcome of my case. Above all, Ben attentiveness to his clients is genuine. I highly recommend Mr. Ben Carrasco for your legal services. I can attest that Ben will aggressively represent you.

Being my first (and hopefully only) divorce I had no idea what I was doing. The first lawyer I hired was atrocious! He was part of the good ole’ boys club and I got billed when I called him to have him give me a report that he had done nothing in my case (several months strong!): true story. I though...t for sure what people say about lawyers must be true…and then I found Ben. Ben was the 8th lawyer I interviewed and he isn’t like other lawyers and that’s a good thing. First of all, Ben is the ultimate professional: knowledgeable, honest, hard working, and straight forward. Ben doesn’t throw faces or provide drama that a client has to manage in addition to their already unfortunate situation. He also isn’t a lawyer who hides behind a fancy building with lots of support staff fielding interactions with clients: he is, however, responsive and because he doesn’t have the overhead, his rates are VERY reasonable. Don’t get me wrong, the building he is in is nice, you just don’t feel like your payments are going towards the Italian office desks or cork flooring. In the courtroom Ben was more prepared than my husband’s lawyer and his arguments were more strategic and effective. There was absolutely nothing easy or straight forward about my case and in the beginning I never thought I’d say this, but my life is better now. Really, I’m telling you: do yourself a favor and just call Ben.

When I saw that my marriage was unsalvageable, I went online to find an attorney. I studied a number of websites, but I really liked what I read on Ben Carrasco's webpage for a number of reasons--his distinguished academic background, impressive work history and other clients' reviews to be sure--b...ut mainly, I liked his straightforward explanation of how he does business. After he began representing me, what came to impress me most is Ben's work ethic. He worked hard on my case, frequently contacting me at night and on weekends to get my input, clarify facts and ensure he was accurately representing my expectations. When a foolish act on my part complicated what should have been a simple divorce, Ben took that in stride and worked even harder to help get my mess untangled. On his website, Ben talks about lawyers who are afraid of the courtroom, and he tells you he is not one of them. Believe him. He represented me in an unusual dual hearing, simultaneously taking on a county attorney for one hearing and my spouse's divorce attorney for another. The extent of his preparation in comparison to that of the opposing attorneys was obvious. Ben did a better job of getting ready for the hearings, and because he was ready, he did a superior job of presenting my side of the story logically, clearly and when necessary, forcefully. As a result, the judge's ruling clearly favored my position. Ben was always up front with me. If I suggested a course of action that made sense to me but was not necessarily a brilliant move from a legal point of view, he let me know, sometimes bluntly, but always with my best interests in mind. What I learned from my experience is that the legal system speaks a different language. What seemed fair or just or obvious from my point of view was not always what the legal system has determined to be fair or just or obvious. In other words, if you're compelled to use the legal system, you need someone who speaks the language. You need a smart, hardworking, legal-fluent advocate who will ably translate your needs and expectations into the language of the system and who will clearly explain what the system is telling you. Ben Carrasco did just that for me. I'm glad I asked him to represent me, and I feel fortunate that he agreed to take my case.
