would NOT reccomend

We decided not to hire Ben as he came across as arrogant and more money oriented than results oriented. Would not recommend this law firm.

Poor communication, poor customer service

We were having poor communication with this lawyer and his office. He came across as rude, arrogant and money oriented. Would definitely not recommend.

Most Experienced Lawyer

I was fortunate enough to be referred to Mr. Davidson regarding my case. Prior to that I had spoke to at least 4 other lawyers about my case & each had different answers that were not entirely correct. When I got to talk to Mr. Davidson I immediately noticed that he is different from other lawyers th...at I had talked to. He graciously spent a lot time answering all my questions in details with giving examples, as well asking the right question that none of the other lawyer asked me prior to that. He was the biggest help to me. If my situation had not resolved on its own, I would have ONLY work with him. His professionalism, kindness, expertise made me feel so confident that if I go with him my case wins. I highly recommend Mr. Davidson. I suggest you go through a Consultation & you could see for yourself that he is one of the BEST.

Excellent Advice and Prompt Response

I reached out to Ben on a Friday afternoon, and he got right back to me within the hour. After quickly reviewing my situation and the documents I forwarded him, he gave me great advice the very next day. He's smart, professional, thorough and very prompt. I highly recommend him.

Good

He is a very good lawyer. I had the privilege of working with Mr. Benjamin Davidson on a traffic court incident which he handled in an efficient and professional manner. He allowed me to explain my side of events, listened carefully to my concerns and took action accordingly. In the end, he was able ...to get me the result I wanted which was no points on my license. Mr Benjamin Davidson and his partner handle a variety of cases and personally I plan on using Mr. Benjamin Davidson on any future legal matters.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
