Review Benjamin Heston

Knowledgeable and kind attorney!

Posted by anonymousTue Feb 17 2015

I have been wanting to write this review for Mr. Heston for some time. However, I have found it hard to put into words just how much peace-of-mind using  his services has brought to my life. Going through a bankruptcy has the potential to be an uncomfortable and embarrassing situation. I was very anxious about finding an attorney and had meetings with several.  Mr. Heston really stuck out to me as he seemed so caring and non-judgmental, and he was very knowledgeable about chapter 13 bankruptcy. After retaining his services, I learned that my first impression could not have been more accurate. Not only is he a genuinely nice person, but he also seems to really enjoy his work and helping people like myself start over and move on.  He was great at keeping me up to date with the status of my case and he always found time to answer my questions.  Having  Ben lead me through the uncomfortable process of filing for bankruptcy made the whole thing completely bearable. I feel so grateful to have found such a kind lawyer, and I would recommend him to anyone.

Thumbs up for Ben Heston!

We had to put together a 501(c)3 on less than a shoestring and had no idea where to begin or go. Ben knew exactly what to do and helped us with all the filings and paperwork. I've heard of other people who have had to file explanations and supporting documents over and over. Ben made sure every "i" was dotted and every "t" crossed. Result: we received our tax-exempt status in under 60 days after filing. He's young, he's energetic, and he's dedicated. I highly recommend him.
