William Morris Benjamin

He is known as “weak-sauce” according to other family lawyers in San Diego. He will not protect your rights, he will not get even what you are entitled to by law, he’ll burn through your money on fees, his staff makes tons of errors in documents and if it goes to settlement he’ll give up and give OC... whatever they push for.

He was my granddaughter's lawyer but rather than consult with her he would rubber stamp the decisions of other professionals who agreed with his obvious bias against one parent over another. He quite simply lied to my face on several occasions, made stipulations regarding special occasions (Christma...s, birthdays etc.) and then held gifts etc in his office for months on end before actually accommodating his own plans. If I could rate him lower than one star I would.

I found him to let the opposing council run the process. He seemed to never fight/push back. Some numbers were never checked and it cost me thousands. He agreed to a forensic accounting person (who O.C. picked) which I found out later does not have a great reputation for being objective. Maybe s...omeone else would have a different result but in my opinion, I would not hire him again or recommend him.

I found Mr. Benjamin to be what I was looking for. Skill and Integrity were my primary criteria. I found him to possess both. He was frank, forthright, and pragmatic ... not just saying what he thought I might want to hear, but rather advising based on what he felt the best course of action to resolv...e an acrimonious matter in the best way possible. I felt he was cost conscious and in the end, I was extremely pleased with his work. He has handled two other cases of individuals I referred to him ... who have also expressed satisfaction and appreciation.
