Only in it for the money

after hiring Mr. Benjamin, I was immediately passed to his at-the-time partner, Mr. Nunez, who I respected and trusted to take my case to trial. Then after a few months, I was told Mr. Nunez was no longer with The Benjamin Law firm and received a call from Mr. brock benjamin, who never went over my c...ase with me. His first and only question to me was," when should he expect the remaining balance to be paid ." I asked if he could give me 30 days. He then said, "No, I got a week". After using all resources to get the remaining balance together, I was surprised with a motion to withdraw from Brock. I was able to get the remaining balance paid the day of the motion to withdraw hearing and he then withdrew the motion to withdraw. However after that, I might have gotten one call from him where he notified me of a plea offer the DA had presented. I was with the mindset to go to trial, however, Brock seemed to keep advising me to take the plea. Knowing I'm innocent but not very confident in my representation for the trial I went ahead and agreed to the plea. Only because Brock mention that I sign the plea and when I arrived at my plea hearing I would still have to option to decline the plea, after two continues I was unable to make it on the third as well due to testing positive for Covid-19, a week before my hearing and then having to get emergency surgery done to my mouth due to an infection I got immediately after testing positive for covid I was unable to make it to El Paso for my plea hearing. And instead of Mr. Benjamin motioning for another continuance, He left me out to dry, telling the judge a lie saying that I was unable to make it due to not having the funds for a flight. Even though I emailed him my Covid test and a Dr. signed written notice stating that I had mouth surgery and would be unable to be back to normal activities until the day of the court hearing. I Would Not recommend hiring this guy. He's only out to get paid furthermore He's all about his money and could care less about his clients

Paul, I’m sorry that you feel the way that you do. I take all my cases seriously and in the end, as you stated, the client is the final decision maker. You made a decision that you’ve outlined above. We did not represent to the court you did not have funds and as we discussed you’re able to order the transcript of what was represented to the court. You have my cell phone number and are welcome to contact me, you know I’ll help you as best I can.

Highly Recommend

Mr. Benjamin is an expert lawyer. He knows and understands the law and the court system. Beyond that, he understands his client. He goes above and beyond to be there for the client and the family. He will visit his clients, quickly responds to calls, emails, text messages and works tirelessly. You do...n't just want a great attorney, you want someone who actually cares! He's the one to hire! Our family is indebted for his help and received a favorable outcome.

Diligent and Thoughtful Attorney

I hired Mr. Benjamin for legal representation regarding legal troubles I got into while working in a correctional setting. Mr. Benjamin did not see me as another case#. He kept me updated throughout every step and fought hard for me. As a result, I am not incarcerated and he got me the best outcome I... could have hoped for. Let me also explain my case took place in Texas and I am from and live on the East Coast. Mr. Benjamin never made promises, however, he worked things out for my best interest. For example, I was told I would have had to go to Texas for court at least three or four times. However, Mr. Benjamin worked it out where several hearings were conducted during the same court appearance and second time I appeared in court was for my sentencing. As a result I only had to go to Texas twice. If you want an attorney who will fight for you, see you as an individual and who is extremely knowledgeable then Mr. Benjamin is your choice.

Criminal Defense advice session

I've just spoken with Brock Benjamin regarding a very serious and complex case, and he was exceptionally attentive to the details of my case and very blunt and honest in his advice. He has given me a realistic idea of what the probable outcome of my case will be, as well as advising me of the most di...rect steps I should take to ensure the most favorable outcome. His advice has given me some direction in regards to how I should proceed with this case, and I now feel more capable of being proactive in laying a line of defenses against the injustice I have been faced with. I would also like to add that it is the middle of the night and Mr. Benjamin patiently spoke with me for 24 minutes rather than 15 in order to ensure that all of my questions were answered to my satisfaction.
