Benjamin Jacob Carrasco

Absolutely, hands down, the best family law attorney in Austin. I cannot thank Ben enough for assisting me in a very difficult Child Custody Case. He is honest, articulate, and really cares about his clients. I feel fortunate to have had him on my side through a difficult custody battle. When I s...tarted my search, I visited websites of many attorneys and it almost seemed like an impossible task when every website seemingly look the same. But just after spending a few minutes on Ben’s website, I knew right away that I found an attorney who would be able to help me. I was really impressed by his straightforward explanation of how he does business, his credentials, and reviews from other clients. I ultimately decided on Ben after speaking with him. Ben worked very hard on my case. He takes that extra level of care when you need it most, responding to emails and phone at night and on the weekends. This was very much appreciated. In my case, my ex-wife’s attorney used dirty & unethical tactics but Ben handled it with impressive aplomb. Ben did a superb job of presenting the facts in the courtroom. The extent of Ben’s preparation in comparison to that of opposing attorney was obvious during the hearing. His courtroom performance is unparalleled. Ben is a good man and a phenomenal attorney. While I realize I was not his only client, he made me feel like I was. I was impressed by his confidence and obvious capability to handle anything that was thrown at him. Ben was responsive, timely, aggressive when needed, and throughout the whole process, I knew I was in good hands. While this was one of the toughest things I've gone through, I could not be more grateful for the results I got through Ben.

I would like to take this opportunity to express my deepest gratitude to you. My case seemed hopeless when you took it over, but you pulled a couple of rabbits from your hat and turned it all around. The past YEARS have been very trying and when I felt there was no way out to settle my affairs in fam...ily court you took my case. He was very patient and polite with me even when I was a little overwhelmed. Your attention, assertiveness, and knowledge of the ever so confusing judicial system were displayed in the way you executed my defense. Your court room manner and persistence of presenting the "actual facts" was astonishing. Your argument was strong and your experience and negotiation skills could not be challenged that day! I spent years of my life away from my son because my ex would do whatever she wanted. You are the only one that got me any results. I trust we will work together again in the future. I cannot thank you enough for reuniting me with my son. On that note, may I add that I would recommend YOU to represent the people dearest to me in the future.

Having an opportunity to get modifications in regards to child custody is a huge challenge for a father, especially in Texas. Ben exceeded expectations and was able to get my ex-wife to compromise what was best for our son. After using another attorney who failed to fully represent me, I searched f...or a great attorney who would fight for me. I spoke with at least twenty to thirty different personal attorneys during the search. Ben stood out as someone who was honest, straight forward, and would be committed. After hiring him and he took on the case, I felt very comfortable that he was ahead of the game. He quickly began taking steps to get the scales balanced. Ben filed the documents with the specificity I requested and followed up consistently. After getting the judge to agree to extend the hearing date, Ben scheduled a deposition and took to the necessary steps to prepare for the hearing. During the deposition with my ex-wife, he was assertive, professional, and was able to get her to give information that could be used in court. Between the deposition and the scheduled hearing, Ben followed up with any requests and was aggressive when he needed to be. My major concerns were to have my son back in school (no longer home schooled by his mother), being involved in his educational planning, spending more time with him, and having geographical restrictions. All of this was accomplished and Ben always made me feel like we had the upper hand during the case. One of the best things about him, is he is truly honest and will not just tell you what you want to hear. He literally told me multiple times, "you're going to spend more money that way," when it came to some of my impulse ideas. How many attorneys are going to try to save you money? My ex-wife has been one of the toughest people to deal with when it came to child custody, but I truly can relax now and that's because of a great lawyer who made it happen. If you want someone who will support you and get it done, Ben is the guy!

I brought my case to Ben last year and he's been the absolute professional throughout the entire matter. He has been reasonable and fair in his fees and has not gone out of his way to "nickel and dime you to death" as some other lawyers might. He did a great job staying on my case, and we received th...e most favorable outcome that could have been expected. I would recommend Ben in heartbeat to anyone who needs a family law representative.

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
