Benjamin Jacob Carrasco

November 3, 2014 You must have confidence in your family law attorney! Ben Carrasco was the attorney I turned to during this difficult time. He assisted in the preparation and court hearing of my divorce. He walked me through the process and provided me with guidance and reassurance every step of... the way. He was quick to respond to my questions or concerns and did a great job during the litigations. I was pleased with the decisions of the court and this was due to the professional abilities of Ben. I am grateful to have this process behind me and am very appreciative that Ben was the attorney I chose to representative me. Todd

I would like to express my gratitude to this outstanding attorney – Mr. Ben Carrasco. I am still in the middle of my complicated divorce case, but I am very confident and calm knowing that any outcome will be fair and in my best interest because I am protected by a highly professional, knowledgeable... attorney – Ben Carrasco. My divorce process is very difficult because the initial phase of the case focused on the enforceability of a premarital agreement. The premarital agreement was initiated by my husband and was signed before our marriage in California. I am a foreigner. Unfortunately I was misled by my husband during the process of signing the premarital agreement. I was shocked when after several years of marriage my husband filed for the divorce. I met with several divorce attorneys in Austin, TX, and my case was politely rejected by every one of them. I was extremely lucky to send my e-mail – request to Mr. Ben Carrasco. Ben was very honest and did not give me unrealistic hope or promises. He always was very prompt and direct in answering my questions. We communicated mostly through e-mails. The fees I was charged for this complicated case were extremely reasonable. This case lasted for several months and ended with a two day trial regarding whether or not the premarital agreement was enforceable. During this very stressful process I fully relied on Ben. I was very impressed by Ben as a professional and individual. He is a very intelligent, logical, patient, knowledgeable attorney, who paid attention to the important details and with whom I was comfortable to share very sensitive private information which was important for the case. I trust Ben. He took the lead in my case and he won it! Several times during this process my husband complained about Ben being aggressive. I consider this to be a compliment to Ben. I am very thankful to Ben, and I would highly and without any hesitation recommend Mr. Ben Carrasco as great attorney and person. Natalia M.

I'm a seasoned tech executive with over 20 years of experience in my field. During my career, I've worked with many attorneys on a wide variety of issues This is my first experience using an attorney in personal matters. Ben has far exceeded my expectations on how an attorney works with clients.... My expectations are that an attorney will be: knowledgeable, professional, responsive, trustworthy, experienced, and respectful. Ben is all those things, and more. Ben handled my divorce case expertly. He provided the information I needed to make necessary decisions without delay. He worked closely with me on strategy, giving his opinion on matters without being pushy or demanding -- something other attorneys could benefit from emulating. Ben also helped keep me focused on the issues at hand. Divorce cases are clearly emotionally charged. Ben listened to my occasional emotional outbursts and refocused me on the critical issues. This was a pleasant, and useful, surprise! I really appreciated Ben's ability to apply pressure to opposing counsel as well. During part of my case there was some unreasonable foot dragging. Ben applied appropriate and effective pressure to move things along. Ben's rates are clearly documented on his website. As of this writing, his rate is $250/hour. That's quite a bargain from where I'm sitting based on his level of service. What makes this rate so competitive is how Ben manages his time. He bills just for what he does. I experienced no "padding" of the billable hours and everything he charged for was crystal clear to me. My ex-wife's attorney charges a similar hourly rate but her fees far exceeded mine in this case. This is a testament to how efficient Ben is with his time. My time is extremely important to me. I don't have the patience for wasting it on frivolous meetings or useless endeavors. Ben and I conducted most of our business online via. email. This was tremendously valuable to me. He responded rapidly both on and off business hours. Ben clearly has a passion for his work and it shows in how he treats his clients. What I got from my relationship with Ben in this case was a partner. Fantastically valuable. I'd give the highest recommendation for Ben to anyone without hesitation.

Ben Carrasco is an outstanding attorney. He worked diligently and intelligently on my behalf in a matter that was both complex and contentious. He was nearly always available to answer my many questions and did so clearly and concisely. I was particularly impressed by his attention to detail and his ...poise before the court. I quickly became quite myself confident that no matter the issue or obstacle Ben would be well prepared and mentally agile in his approach and practice. I highly recommend Ben for difficult divorce and custody issues.

I have used several attorneys over the years on business related matters, so I have a good basis against which to compare Mr. Carrasco's performance. I came to Ben as Plaintiff in a case that had been ongoing for some time and which needed a top notch litigator to take it to trial. The time to tr...ial was short, a matter of weeks, which made the challenge even greater. That notwithstanding, Ben was exceptional in comprehending and organizing our case and its presentation to the court. On his own, and without my asking, Ben created Exhibits which he presented at the trial to help the Judge understand the critical elements of our case. I was impressed by that as in the past I had to suggest these things to the attorneys I had used. At the trial Ben performed with the perfect amount of controlled aggression not letting the Defendants get one over on us while at the same time remaining completely professional and within the rules of decorum of the court. The Defendant and his attorney immediately got the message that we were not going to be pushed around. Ben performed better in court than attorneys with 20 years of experience and believe me, I know, having used those guys in the past and having paid their high fees, win or lose. With respect to Ben's fees, I found them entirely reasonable. Additionally, Ben worked with us on his fee as we are by no means wealthy and we pursued the lawsuit on principle rather than expecting a large monetary gain from it. Bottom line: Ben Carrasco cared about our case and more importantly he cared about us personally as human beings. He "got it" that we sued the Defendant based on principle and not for money. A lot of lawyers don't seem to care about that, you're just "another case" to them. Not so with Ben, I highly recommend Ben Carrasco for any legal matter you may have. He's honest, hard working, very knowledgeable, and aggressive in representing you.
