Benjamin Mains fired as SF Assistant District Attorney

My familiy's experience of him is as a arrogant, conniving & manipulative assistant DA much more interested in "getting the conviction" than the truth of what happened in a case. In our situation, we had an accident in our home with our son, who has a long documented history of mental health issues, ...and my wife and I were hurt. The DA's office insisted on charging our son with two charges of pre-mediated attempted murder, even though my wife and I were the only witnesses and the only people directly affected, and the charges in no way represented our experience. While Mr. Mains didn't decide alone how to charge our son, his manner with us, as we tried to advocate for our son, was glib, arrogant and manipulative.

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.
