      Review Benjamin Heston

      Knowledgeable and kind attorney!

      Posted by

      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.

      Amazing Attorney

      Ben Heston was the attorney who managed my matter and I could not have asked for a better attorney to represent me. It has been a very difficult time in my life, but Ben approached my case with compassion and understanding, and did so for an entirely reasonable price. I would recommend him a thousand times over to anyone.

      Excellent Service !

      We were at a point where our financial affairs had reached an oppressive state of affairs. We found Ben's firm online and decided to take advantage of his free consultation. We did our homework and had a slug of questions and not just a few concerns about the whole bankruptcy process, which is not without consequences. From the beginning, Ben and his firm were everything we could have hoped for. Ben made an unpleasant necessity as painless as possible. He provided us with thorough information on our options and totally explained the process and what we could expect and he did so honestly, knowledgably, empathetically and with a degree of grace we truly appreciated. We were particularly impressed with having our questions and concerns along the way addressed in a very timely and serious fashion; all this and his fees were completely reasonable, too! We would, and have recommended Ben to others who have been equally well served.

      100% RECOMMENED!

      The past few months have been an unbelievably difficult time, and Ben has gone way over and above the call of duty, making the whole process not only doable and understandable, but frankly possible! I don't know if any other lawyer would have put in this amount of time and effort. I live in Mumbai, India and Ben would respond to my countless texts at all hours of the day and night. I am truly overwhelmed at the level of calm expertise and professionalism that he and his office operate with and I cannot express my gratitude enough- thank you, Ben, so so much for everything!! You are above and beyond!! THANK YOU!

      Benjamin Heston's response: Venie, I'm always happy to help out in any way I can. Thanks!

      Amazing Service

      Ben and his team are beyond amazing! He was easy to talk to, made me extremely comfortable through the entire process and handled my case professionally. He stayed in touch with me, keeping me updated through the entire process and any time I reached out to him with a question his response was prompt. His team even contacted me by email when my case was discharged ... so I didn't even have to wait to receive the documents by mail. I would highly recommend Ben to anyone who is seeking a bankruptcy attorney. Thanks again!

      Ben is a super nice guy and knows his stuff. Not judgemental at all, which when you’re having these kind of troubles is very important. He made everything simple including payment options. I am glad I was able to locate him because I lost a retainer to another lawyer on Indiana in Riverside (who shall remain nameless) that said he was handling things but was really not. With Ben he laid everything out in a way I could understand since I’m not in the legal field. Thanks again Heston and Heston. Definitley recommend.

      Outstanding Attorney - Very Knowledgeable About Bankruptcy Law

      Posted by

      Without a doubt this Attorney is extremely knowledgeable about Bankruptcy Law, not only the historical aspects of the law, but about very recent Case Law. He is both professional and compassionate. You know he understands the significant emotional impact on his clients from the very experience of having to file for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy. The rates he charges for his services are without a doubt well within reasonable bounds. He worked with us about how to pay for his services. Benjamin kept us fully informed of all the aspects of our case, and what to expect at each stage. We only had to appear once in our case. If you need an experienced and compassionate Bankruptcy Attorney, Benjamin Heston is the person to call.
