Highly Recommend
I highly recommend Bob Benjy if you are looking for representation and guidance that is responsive, thorough, honest and hard working to represent not only your case but also your personal best interest. Bob was detailed in his assessment of my case and throughout the process took the time to explain the time horizons during each step. From beginning to end I remained with the highest confidence I was being represented both professionally and with integrity. Highly recommended.

Fantastic lawyer
Just had a great consult with Bob Benjy. He was knowledgable, honest, and clearly explained to what extent my case is winnable based on the information I provided. After a few minutes, I could see why so many have such confidence in his legal work. Highly recommended.

Response from Bob Benjy August 19, 2021
Zoya, it was fun working with you and your husband on this challenging commercial real estate dispute against a large, well known and very powerful institutional landlord. Together, we achieved an amazing outcome I am very proud of and that will save your small business a few hundred thousand dollars over the course of the coming 5 years or so in rent. Results like this are the reason I come to work every day, especially when clients are awesome and appreciative (and smart) like you two. I am flattered by your compliments and thank you. My Best to you both. ~ Bob

Bob's the best.
I have hired Bob over the years on several real estate ventures. From reviewing commercial leases to guiding me to a settlement in a real estate dispute, Bob has been in my corner. I appreciate that he listens to my needs, breaks down my options, and has my best interest in mind at all times. When my last real estate transaction went south, Bob knew how to navigate a difficult situation, find a solution, and take the stress out of the process.

Superior Real Estate Attorney
Bob Benjy is an amazing attorney!!!!! From the moment I first spoke with him I knew he was the right attorney for me. He is sharp, knowledgeable, and decisive. I was selling my home and was involved in a real estate transaction gone bad. Bob knew exactly what to do. He is highly knowledgeable and experienced in real estate law. He guided me every step of the way as to how to best resolve the situation. I was extremely impressed at how accessible and communicative he was, which is very unusual in my experience with other attorneys. He successfully negotiated with the other party's attorney and resolved the problem in an efficient and professional matter. He lifted such a heavy burden from me. I could not have asked for more. If you are in need of an attorney who is honest, dependable, knowledgeable, efficient, and gets results, Bob Benjy is your guy. You will be in great hands with Bob. I highly recommend him.

Exceptional Real Estate Attorney!
If you are looking for an honest, efficient, knowledgeable, and diligent real estate attorney, look no further Mr. Bob Benjy is your guy! I interviewed over 10 different attorneys to try and help my mom resolve a situation where she was in contract selling her house but the buyer's weren't performing, breached the contract and were unreachable even after being sent a formal Notice to Perform multiple times and a Demand to Close escrow. She had no choice but to cancel the contract. Then, all of the sudden the buyers resurface and this time with an attorney trying to make up bogus claims against my mom. What should have been a simple, standard and smooth real estate transaction suddenly became a substantial headache with high stake risks involved. Consultation after consultation with multiple different attorneys only made this situation that much more frustrating when all were saying different things, weren't very confident in their knowledge or approach and still wanted paid exceptionally high retainers. All but one of course, Mr. Benjy was different. He knows his stuff. Explaining the situation was a breeze; he was not at all intimidated of the situation like the other attorneys. He's sharp, quick witted, knew exactly what the situation was, and knew exactly what to do. I immediately felt at ease and confident after speaking with him. He was clear, concise and honest about the risks involved. He laid out the 2 possible approaches and didn’t beat around the bush or try and drag it out for more money which I appreciated. We retained him and he got to work immediately. Mr. Benjy is unlike most attorneys. He really seemed to care and genuinely wanted to help. You don't get pushed off to his office staff after retaining him. He takes care of you personally and directly, even calls you from his cell phone if he has to, and is always reachable. Mr. Benjy is persistent and relentless. He will not stop until you succeed even working after hours. He does anything he has to do to get the job done. I was never left in the dark. He was in constant contact with us and the other attorney and negotiated masterfully always protecting his client's best interest first and foremost. He got the buyers to sign an agreement to close, all cash, within 2 days! It was seriously remarkable that he was able to resolve this painstaking situation in just 1 day and at an extremely reasonable cost when we had been battling with it for months. Unfortunately, in my lifetime I have had to deal with multiple different attorneys spending upwards of 100k total for those subpar services. While I ultimately succeeded, it cost me, a lot, both financially and emotionally. Not once have I ever received any of a retainer back from an attorney ... until now. I was shocked and amazed; Mr. Benjy actually notified us that he put a check in the mail giving us back most of the retainer because he worked so efficiently. Initially, I was hesitant in contacting him thinking he would be far too costly for us because he's located in Beverly Hills. Boy was I wrong. My only regret is not calling him sooner.  No one wants to be in a situation where you have to hire an attorney but if you find yourself in need or are wondering if you could use one, do yourself a favor and call Bob Benjy. You'll be able to sleep well at night knowing you have him in your corner.

Charlotte, you and your mother were a true pleasure to work with. I love helping clients that are truly appreciative of my hard work and you and your mother certainly did not disappoint. I'm so happy we were able to help mom get her transaction closed without hassle after the buyer's attorney started playing games. I also very much appreciate your kind words and detailed and thorough review. Very meaningful to me. My warmest regards, Bob.

Experience and Detailed Knowledge
"I had an employment issue that needed to be addressed, so I went to see Bob Benjy. I had no idea how to handle my situation, but Bob surely did. He knew all of the questions that he would need the answers to for my case. There are so many details when it comes to the law that I never knew about. I have to say that Bob's experience and detailed knowledge is what got my case taken care of. I would highly recommend Bob and his services to anyone I know because of the way he handled my situation. I couldn't ask for a better attorney. Thank you so much Bob! "

Attention to detail
My experience with Bob Benjy as representation was delightful from start to finish. I was very impressed with his ability to effectively predict the oppositions strategy, then communicate to me in advance so that we could plan for the most beneficial outcome. I would recommend Bob Benjy to any person that's looking for an attorney who knows how to be hard on the opposition, and simplify legal lingo to his client, all while making you feel comfortable during the process. He is kind hearted and generous with his time, finding time to speak to me whenever I had questions about my case. It's more than just business to Bob Benjy, your not just another case, and that's a great feeling to have from your representation.

Thorough attorney
I've consulted with Bob Benjy on several occasions. I have found that he is extremely clever and knowledgeable. Most recently I needed to form 3 LLCs and he was kind enough to complete the task from start to finish. He answered all my questions throughout the process and worked diligently. His prices were very reasonable and fair. I turn to him for all my legal work and highly recommend him.
