Very professional, efficient and straight forward attorney

I met Bill during my Naturalization US Citizenship N-400 process. I did not know Bill before but what was most important to me was that he actually answered my questions and spent time on my case even before my consultation session. That made a huge difference. During our consultation, Bill e...xplained to me the options I had and laid out the best plan of action for my case. He responded to all my questions, easy ones hard ones silly ones anything where I was not clear. He understands that clients going through the immigration process do not necessarily know the laws and the processes but he made everything easy to understand. I WOULD HIGHLY Recommend him to anyone who may need help with immigration case. Great lawyer in the OC area.

Appraisal of William Bence Bennett

We found Mr. Bennett to be very knowledgeable and very helpful, He was very attentive to our case and any emails or phone calls were returned in quick order. He was very thorough and took time to explain things so we could understand what was happening. He kept us up to date on the status of our f...ile. We would recommend him to any one needing a lawyer and would certainly use him again if a situation arose that required the services of an attorney.

Highly Experienced, Dedicated Service

I have been working with William Bennett starting all the way in1992. Moving to new jobs at different companies, I had no second thoughts of using the same immigration attorney. Bill Bennett took good care of multiple H1 Visas, as well as Labor Certifications. One can trust his opinion and expertis...e. It is not easy to find an immigration attorney who would ALWAYS be available with prompt and clear advice. Even on a very short notice. If you are looking for reliable and dedicated immigration help - contact Bennett Immigration.

"Mr. Bennett knows more about immigration law than anyone I know. When I need a consult or need to refer a client for related immigration issues, he is the one that I always reach out to for help. This attorney thinks "outside of the box" and sometimes gets results when I think none are possible. Highly recommended."

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.
