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 n...ot 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.

Outstanding Attorney - Very Knowledgeable About Bankruptcy Law

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 hav...ing 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.

Client

I had a layman file my bankruptcy who turned out to be totally incompetent. Before the case was dismissed Mr. Heston took over and appealed the dismissal and saved me from losing my home. Mr. Heston was amazing, in that he was knowledgeable, professional and "on top" of my case. I am very grateful.

Great service. Thank you Ben and Elmer.

Would like to thank Ben H. for his great help in my bankruptcy. In particular, his paralegal Elmer who was outstanding. Knowledgeable, quick to respond to my concerns and emails and extremely compassionate towards my situation.- why is he not an attorney yet with this firm? :) Thank you both.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
