About Ben

For many years I worked for a big criminal defense firm in Los Angeles. While working at the firm, I handled over 750 DUI cases and DMV hearings, and more than 300 other criminal matters, which included drugs, theft, sexual and violent crimes. By handling so many cases and working with so many different attorneys, I gained the experience and expertise that it takes most private criminal defense attorneys decades to obtain in a small practice. I was also privileged to have the opportunity to be trained by an ex-DMV hearing officer, and a 25 year experienced federal public defender. Even though this helped me gain experience at the time, I realized that in order to do my best on every case, I had to limit the amount of cases I could take on. Working at a big firm you do not get to decide how many cases you take on, you are simply given an inventory of clients.

 

The big difference between hiring a big firm to handle your case and hiring my office is that I will personally handle every aspect of your case, I will stay in constant communication with you, and my clients can rest assured that they will receive personalized attention because now I have the ability to limit the number of cases I take on.

 

During my time working for a big defense firm I covered all areas of criminal litigation including felonies and misdemeanors as a lead trial attorney. I achieved incredible results in complex cases, where the defendants were facing career threatening circumstances through negotiations or prevailing in trial.

 

I managed the DMV division of the firm, overseeing all attorney’s DMV hearings and briefs. I earned this position after achieving many DMV victories, and getting bad decisions overturned by the Superior court. Recordings of my DMV hearings were later used to train other attorneys. Since the majority of the cases I handled were DUI cases, I was trained and certified in standardized field sobriety testing, various breathalyzer devices, and police procedure in DUI investigations. My expertise and track record gave me the opportunity to lecture other attorneys in DUI defense seminars. My experience in DUI cases also gave me the ability to build close relationships with numerous court prosecutors and judges. Most importantly, I learned to make sure that every case gets the attention and expertise it deserves because I want to give my clients hope and peace of mind in knowing they are being well taken care of.

Review Ben Mironer

Above the Rest

Posted by

From the initial call to the decision in court, Ben was trustworthy and a pleasure to work with. Out of the six lawyers I spoke with, Ben was the only one that believed in my case against the DMV. His communication always comes from a place of compassion and understanding. Needless to say he WON our writ against the DMV when everyone else said I didn't have a chance. We won our initial writ and the DMV decided to appeal to a higher court. Needless to say, Ben took on the new case and was equally communicative and helpful. Ben always made the time to talk and provide updates. I never had to speak with anyone other than Ben himself where he was continually demonstrate full understanding and interest in my case. We won again, and again I owe it to the amazing representation I had with Ben. I would and will refer any friend of mine to Ben. His ability to see the law at a human level is second to none. In the most stressful time of my life I was able to put my trust in Ben. Thank you again sir, everyone else do yourself a favor and give Ben a call!

His name should be Ben Miracle, an extraordinary lawyer

Posted by

When I was arrested for a DUI, it was one of the most difficult experiences of my life. I called numerous lawyers and many solicited my business. Most were slick talkers and worked in big firms, but Ben has a down to earth manner and has an extraordinary ability to communicate and relate to his clients. It feels like you are dealing with a friend, but he is also extremely professional and proficient. He went over my likely scenarios before I hired him, and he was able to achieve the best case by convincing the courts not to file charges. Ben is a brilliant lawyer that should be your first option if you are involved in a DUI. He will not only calm your nerves, he will handle your case like a seasoned pro. It has a been an excellent experience having him as my lawyer, and I highly recommend him to everyone who gets involved in a messy situation such as a DUI.

BEN IS THE BEST!!!

JUST A BIG THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK BEN!!! Since day one you have been more that helpful, in the whole process of my DUI and the Expungement.

Fantastic attorney!

Ben is a fantastic attorney and I highly recommend him! I couldn't be happier with his services and the outcome of my case. From start to finish he always kept me up to date, explained things in detail, took my calls, answered my emails promptly, and most importantly obliterated the charges against me. In the end it didn't feel like I was dealing with an attorney but more like a close friend!

Ben's a terrific lawyer in just about every way possible. Tough, knowledgable, thorough, and maybe most importantly, caring. He took me through a really lousy few months of my life, always keeping me apprised of what was going on with my case and what he was doing to help me. In the end, I was very satisfied with his counsel and would highly recommend him to anyone in need of a lawyer.

We couldn't ask for a more skilled attorney and we can’t imagine ever using another attorney.

My Name is Christopher who sought the law firm’s services when I was being charged with a DUI in 2013. This was my first time having to seek services from an attorney. I was assigned to work with Ben F. Mironer, Attorney at Law. Mr. Mironer’s combination of skill and experience is exactly what we had been looking for in a Lawyer. Additionally, his professional ethics were superb. We were well represented. Mr. Mironer and staff where tremendously- efficient, knowledgeable, professional, and timely. They consistently exceeded my expectations by providing me with regular updates and sharing information. They were very patient and knowledgeable always making time to answer my questions. Mr. Mironer professionalism and knowledge of the law was without parallel. He is serious-minded and will do whatever it takes to prevail honestly and in a human manner. He has a personality that will put anyone at ease. With exemplary procedural and substantive law skills, I couldn't ask for a more skilled attorney and I can’t imagine ever using another attorney. Great job- and can’t thank everyone enough! Once again many thanks!

Ben handled both my original domestic violence case as well as my early termination of probation and expungement. His responsiveness and understanding of the charges against me calmed my nerves while going through the difficult and stressful process. I was happy to get out of probation five months early and have the charges expunged from my record. I would recommend Ben highly and without hesitation.

Now that he's managing his own practice, I know that he will be in a position to give his clients excellent representation better than ever before.
