Benjamin Jacob Carrasco

If I had known of Mr. Carrasco, I would have hired him from the very start and truly believe I would be in a much better position. When I came to him many years after my initial orders, he reviewed them, and told me that they were terrible and that I should not have ever signed them. It was a very di...fficult thing to hear, but it was the truth. His honesty, and being straight with me from the start is why I hired him and would never work with anyone else. He has never sugar coated anything and has always been very direct. From the very beginning he offered what options I had and the possible risks involved in each scenario. He makes suggestions and recommendations, but always listens and will help you think straight when your emotions run high. He doesn't waste your time, but communicates efficiently what needs to be done and why. During litigation, I couldn't have asked for better representation, and so here I am, years later, going to him again because I honestly couldn't ask for a better person to be on my side. I respect him not only as a lawyer, but as a person. I feel that he holds his own morals and ethics to the highest standards and it really shows through his work. I would highly recommend Mr. Carrasco to anyone who needs to see their case for what it is. He will tell you the hard truths, he will be honest and will be there to represent you.

Ben is an absolute lifesaver! I say so because I finally have my life back! Litigation (custody/covid/child support) was literally brought to my door this past February and drug on for 6 months. Ben was our guiding light, our rock, and our compass the entire stressful journey. He lives up to his a...mazing academic accolades in real life! Super smart, super passionate, and tough as nails. He is impatient with imperfection. He makes sure he is over prepared for every step of the process. He will give you his all and his all is worth every penny and then some.

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.

My experience with Mr. Carrasco was one of restoring retainers and getting very little value even at minimum expectations. He made some catastrophic mistakes in my divorce that resulted in significant losses of "separate property" and paying him exhorbitant fees. He was no match for the experience ...of opposing cancel and found him to be "speechless" in Court hearing on critical occaisions. The final divorce decree document is so poorly drafted and has now been contested several times in followup hearings. So many conflicts in provisions and grammatical errors. - looks like a very poor "cut & paste" exercise (of course the opposing counsel had something to do with that as well) Be careful with Ben and track his work and deliverables on a weekly basis or you will be shocked at how fast he runs up fees. May be good for non contested divorces; but do not hire him if there are children involved, he is too inexperienced.
