Need a smart, compassionate, professional, and experienced attorney? Look no further!

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.

Highly recommended

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.

Review for Mr. Ben Carrasco

Allow me to give you, the reader, a bit of background before I go into Mr. Carrasco's review: I'm a single father of two children, and we're currently caught up in an interstate custody issue. That being said, custody issues (and family law issues, in general) tend to get complex. They can be ver...y time consuming, costly, and hard on your heart and soul. Now imagine dealing with two courts, two states, and sifting through legislation, family codes, and statutes between both forums. It's a train wreck. Enter: Ben Carrasco. Early on in my situation, I need a lawyer who could pick up quickly, get up to speed ever quicker, and could be readily attentive at a moment's notice. Mr. Carrasco's response was incredibly fast. I had consulted several attorneys, in both states, and just didn't "get the feeling" until I had spoken to Ben. Being from a family with roots in law practice, I did come in fairly organized. Documentation, accurate expression of events, timelines, etc; This obviously helps any attorney approach your case faster. Ben assembled all facts, prepared the first portions of my case, and had all corresponding laws, statutes, and references at an impressive speed. Both times, thus far in court, his presentation was confident, precise, and backed by facts. In my experience with lawyers, I can easily call this guy a "heavy hitter." His primary concern has been, and continues to be, the welfare of the children. If you're looking for an attorney that is going to give you fluff, or blow sunshine up your skirt, Mr. Carrasco is most likely NOT the attorney for you. He deals in facts, hard evidence, and logic. His honesty and professionalism doesn't afford him the luxury of giving you false expectations or hopes. You'll always know what needs to be done, what is expected, and which angles to approach. Truthfully, I'm still in the middle of my battle, and the case isn't concluded yet, but even if I were to lose my case, I can tell you with the utmost confidence that I am genuinely impressed with Ben's performance, attitude, and his flexibility. He's taken plenty of time after hours to assist me in an emergency, questions, or filings. He knows I'm not a man who really comes from money, and has been very flexible with that, as well. Most of us would much rather not have such expenses in our lives, but there comes a time, for some of us, when you've got to put up a fight for the well being of your loved ones. If that becomes the case, make sure you hire a heavy hitter, Like Ben Carrasco. I hope this review helps you, and good luck in fighting the good fight.
