Car accident

This firm came as a recommendation to me from a stranger on the street who came to help me after being rear ended. The office was prompt in responding to me and met me the next day ready and willing. This case was difficult because I was rear-ended and pushed into the car in front of me. With back da...mage that will be irreversible and with me forever this case was and did take time and great attentiveness. They constantly kept in contact with me. Victoria was incredible in always being there, providing constant updates for the two years this case went on for! I never felt put on the back burner. Partner Bradly Marx helped me through some big moves in the case and catering to all the anxiety and stress I was having. He made me feel comfortable and confident through everything and provided me with every bit of detail small or large through the case. I would highly recommend them to anyone in the Las Vegas area. If your looking for someone to deliver on their word do not waste your time else where Benjamin Durham has the team for you!

Great lawyer

I hired Benjamin to help me with my personal injury, I was involved in a 3 car accident. Right away Ben and representatives were able to get me to the right doctor to see about my injuries. After that the ladies that work for Ben made my case so easy, didn’t have to worry about anything. With a coupl...e of months my case was closed with a nice settlement. I would definitely recommend Benjamin Durham Law Firm. Both him and his staff are genuine people, wouldn’t want anyone else to represent me.

Little Contact-Motions Filed Without Consent

Little to no contact with us, explained nothing unless specifically requested, filed a continuous without our knowledge or consent, and then when we filed to have him removed from our counsel, after 5+ months of inadequate service, it was denied because the judge didn't want the case to be continued ...again to let another lawyer review the case, even though Mr. Durham admitted to the judge that he had not reviewed our case at all. He had no help in his office besides a receptionist, so he doesn't have to do his job unless it benefits him. The entire time our case was in the preliminary phase he assured us it would never go to trial, then, magically his tone changed to it's going to go to trial but I think I can win it. I feel like he's a pawn in the DA's pocket!

Very disatified

Hired only because he was recommend and that was a big mistake. An attorney who does not specialize in accident cases should not take the clients on and not give them 100%. Lack of communication between Victoria and myself was absolutely horrible. No call backs, no updates no nothing. I was very ve...ry unsatified with the whole overall outcome as well. They also tell you 33% but what they also fail to tell it more like 66% Karma does come around.

We are sorry to hear that you were not satisfied with your case outcome. We try our best to make sure that every client is satisfied and we were surprised to learn that you were not. Our records show regular communication with you and your wife, sometimes multiple phone calls a week. We also reduced our attorney's fees (to less than 33%) and did not charge any case costs so that you would receive more money. We would encourage you to contact us directly so that we better understand why you were dissatisfied and so that we can make any needed improvements going forward.

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!
