Prior to practicing law, I served as an ordained minister in christian education and family ministries.    I was awarded special recognition in family law studies in law school.  My goal is to resolve matters first before going to litigation in family law.  In probate matters, I know that time is of the essence and we try to resolve matters as quickly as possible.  

 

I also publish a blog where I provide commentary on the intersection of religious faith and culture at

 

I host a weekly hour long talk show on legal topics each Saturday from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. title "Law Talk" on on the Internet.  

 

I provide pro bono services to single mothers who are residents of a women's shelter for single homeless mothers, Stepping Stones for Women, Inc a faith based non-profit agency in Covina, CA.

I had a complicated question concerning how contract law applies to my family law matter and Mr. Benton stepped up and answered it for me after months of speaking to many lawyers. Thank you Mr. Benton.

Great Advice
Mr. Benton gave me excellent advice and very timely. I am having some issues with my brother's estate. My older brother is handling the paperwork and I'm at a point where I am not sure if he is going to do things above board. I am fortunate to receive answers from someone who knows the probate laws in California. Hopefully I will not need an attorney, but if I do, I will definitely be calling him!

Advice
Gave me very good advice through this website as a free consultation. And then gave me an idea of fees for when I'm ready to hire. He is VERY compassionate and caring about your situation.

a true gentleman
Even though Mr Benton and I interacted very briefly, I got the sense that he is an authentic gentleman, whose integrity, idealism and moral standards are exceptionally high, for a world such as ours.
Posted by Stephenie | April 30, 2014
The best
If I was still living in CA I would hire Mr. Benton as my lawyer no matter the distance if possible, he has kept me well informed on the website about my rights and what wrong my husband was doing through divorce filing. He has been very helpful to me while I am going through divorce away from CA.

Man of action and integrity
I referred a client to Greg Benton. He is a man of integrity, honest, straightforward, and quick to take action on my client's behalf. His ability to get results within the court system was outstanding. I can't believe how quickly this case was settled, and in my client's favor.

Trustworthy and informative!
Mr. Benton provided excellent service for me and my family. He kept me highly informed on all matters and was very compassionate to my needs. I highly recommend him for all your legal needs.

Responsive and Knowledgable
Attorney Gregory Benton responded immediately to my legal problem when time was of the essence. Unlike other attorneys whom I have dealt with, he seemed genuinely concerned about my case. His knowledgeable representation solved my problem. I highly recommend Mr. Benton. I will use him again if I ever need a good general practice attorney.

Child custody and domestic violence
Mr. Benton is very knowledgable and a blessing in my life. He is trustworthy and responsive to my needs and the needs of my child.

Great Experience
Mr. Benton handled my divorce 3 years ago. My experience with him was outstanding. During this rough time in my life Mr. Benton not only helped me through the process smoothly he also helped me to see my own self worth. Mr. Benton is not in this field just for the job he is in this feild because he cares about people. God has given this man a great abiltity to care for those he is representing, this is not just a job to him but a ministry. He works very hard to get you the best results possible. If you want a great attorney he is the one! Thank you Mr. Benton for touching my life and my childrens lives and for offering the care and support I needed during a difficult time.

Simple Probate related question
Good but vague response to a very simply put question.

This guy is a joke! Waste of time, wouldn’t give him a dime.
He may have been a “good” lawyer back in the day but not anymore. He should have retired 10 years ago. He’s not communicative. Unprofessional!!! Doesn’t respond to emails in a respective time frame and apparently has “other business matters” he’s attending to and cannot respond properly. Seems like he’s not in the best interest of the client and only thinks about how he can rack up his rates. Don’t waste your time!

Response from Gregory Benton October 9, 2020
This party is out of bounds. Too bad we don't, as lawyers, have any way of responding since the actual case is not available to us. I have always responded. Never had a complaint with the Bar on my email protocols.

Very old practices
This guy is unrealistic and a very poor choice for information. I have had many other consultations that were all against his "help" he seems very unprofessional and very unhappy with his job. I feel sorry for this old man and whoever needs a serious consultation I would definitely advise against resorting to Paul Benton. He is very biased and doesn't understand the laws of marriage! Avoid at all costs.

Response from Gregory Benton January 22, 2019
Interesting comments as this person seems to be biased as to my age. I never go by my middle name. So this critique is bogus.
