Grateful

I went to this lawfirm and as soon as I walked in the first time they made me feel as if everything would be ok. Any time you call someone always answers, if you have questions they will answer them as many times as you need until you understand what is going on. Mayela whay can I say she is kind, ...patient, and always looking for ways to help. Mr. Durnham talked to me about my case and made me aware of the the options we had. In my case I ended up having surgery. I recommend this lawfirm because they know what they are doing, they make you feel involved and the end results are excellent. I just want to say thank you for all your hard work my family and I are grateful for you.

Great Law Firm

Mr. Durham represented me in a DUI court case. He and his team were extremely helpful and knowledgeable throughout the length of the process. From start to finish he was available to answer any questions and guide me through a confusing time. After finishing all of the necessary classes, Mr. Durham w...as able to settle the case to reckless driving. He and his team handled all of the legal stuff. I had a great experience with Benjamin Durham Law Firm and I would highly recommend his services.

Honest, Respected, Hard Working!

I did not hire Ben Durham, Ben was appointed to my case at my arraignment. My charges were Count 1. Conspiracy to violate uniform controlled substances act. Count 2. Trafficking in Controlled Substance. I explained to Ben I was in the wrong place at the wrong time. I knew my friends were Drug Deale...rs and i also knew I wasn't a saint.. They lost contact with each other and my friend called me and asked me to fly down from Seattle to help find his partner. Within 4 hours of arriving we were arrested. I knew because of a prior Felony conviction I might be looking at some time. Ben started immediately counseling me with his thoughts on what I should do. He assured me he would do everything in his power to avoid prison time. I was released on my own PR and flew home to Seattle and immediately reported to Probation. I did everything they asked, a couple UA's per month starting out, along with enrolling in a 1 year Intensive Outpatient Drug Treatment Program. I also started going to 4 AA meetings per week and had my court slipped signed to provide to Ben, Probation and my Judge. I knew in my mind that if I was going to get any kind of a DEAL I had to prove myself. I received my Pre-Sentence Investigation Report from Probation and they were asking for 97 months In-Custody and 3 years Probation. WOW! Ben suggested I get some letters from friends and family to provide to the Judge. He said the decision is up to the Judge! I immediately started asking everyone for a Reference letter. Ben said you have a lot of letters, I think i had 40 letters from family, friends, friends in AA (alcoholics anonymous) and my Doctor. I was so nervous at my sentencing almost 2 years form the date I was arrested. Ben was so calm, cool and collected. He spoke on my behalf about all the work I was doing to change my life. I really was so blessed to have Ben representing me! When the Honorable Judge Gordon read the 58 pages of the Sentencing Memorandom that Mr Benjamin Durham prepared I knew I was represented with the Best Counsel in Las Vegas! I was given a huge deal. 3 years supervised probation, a $200. fine and 100 hours of Community Service. Judge Gordon read every page submitted to him and could sense from all the letters that I was serious about changing my life and instead of wasting away in Prison I could more benefit my community by being of service and helping those still struggling with addiction. I am happy to say that I am compliant with my Conditions of Release, Ive completed my 100 hours and paid my fine. I am the GSR (general service representative) of my AA Homegrown and also the Public Information Rep for my District here in Washington. I don't know what my life would look like currently if I didn't have Ben Durham in my corner over 2 years ago when I was arrested. I have the utmost respect for Ben and he is welcome in my home anytime he comes to Seattle. I witnessed 2 miracles within a couple weeks! The first 1 was the Seattle Seahawks beating the Green Bay Packers in the final minutes to win the NFC Championship only to lose the SuperBowl to New England in the final minute! But the second miracle was at my sentencing. All my prayers and hard work is starting to pay off. All Praise, Glory and Honor goes to God! I am ever so humble! In closing, if your back is against the wall and you need Counsel, I recommend Benjamin Durham and his Staff. They will work hard on your behalf. I guarantee it! Thanks again Ben, your the best!

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Ben has been a friend and mentor that I trust. He is very experienced in all areas of criminal defense, including numerous trials at both state and the federal level. Ben is the type of attorney who is ready and willing to take a case to a jury trial. He is realistic about outcomes and will not waste time."

Ronald Peil

Criminal defense lawyer | Nov 19

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse this lawyer. I know Ben though a weekend retreat that we both attended. He is a graduate of BYU and has been practicing for 12 years. Ben maintains a very busy practice, even without advertising. In fact, most of his clients find their way to him through referrals from colleagues and other clients. A big reason for the large volume of referral business he does is the deep sense of responsibility Ben feels for each and every one of his clients. Ben personally handles every aspect of a client's representation from the moment the client enters his office for the first time until the very last appearance. Because he keeps as busy as he does, Ben has had the opportunity to gain a significant amount of trial experience, both at the state and federal levels. Although the bulk of his practice is criminal defense, Ben also handles personal injury cases. I have no doubt that either type of client would be well taken care of by Ben."

Warren Geller

Criminal defense lawyer | Aug 24

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I recently represented a co-defendant of Mr. Durham's. I can say from watching him in action that few attorneys possess his level of poise and courtroom presence. He has an innate gift that cannot be learned in any book. If I had the misfortune of being accused of a crime and seeking a lawyer, Mr. Durham would be at the top of my list."
