Amazing Counsel when I needed it!

I was in court after being “left at the alter” by my original attorney. I already paid him a retainer, however he explained an unfortunate tragedy and could not travel. I was caught in a situation where I needed counsel. I needed someone who could explain my situation to the DA and get my case d...ismissed. I didn’t want to miss work, and I wanted this tragic legal inconvenience handled. As I sat patiently and waited to speak to the judge and explain why my prior attorney missed my court date I noticed one particular lawyer extremely active in his integration with the entire courtroom and procedures. At that time I did not approach the gentleman. I waited to be called, immediately explained my situation, and requested time to seek new counsel. Request granted. I walked out. That was the absolute last time I saw the inside of the courtroom. Attorney Scarfe completely alleviated the entire process. I truly appreciate the research and diligence Mr. Scarfe provided to resolve my legal issue in that crucial time of need.

Criminal record expungement

Attorney Benjamin Scarfe cleared my criminal record! What I imagined would be a long and fought out process (especially as I'm overseas), was made easy with Mr. Scarfe's quick communication and diligence. The expungement was completed in no time!

Beyond the norm.

To whomever it may concern, Benjamin Scarfe is a fantastic choice as a lawyer and you can't ask for a more involved and caring person to defend you from the Psychotic viewpoint of law enforcement that everyone is guilty before innocent. Ben is an individual that understands the negative effect on... clients' lives that unfortunately have to deal with law enforcement and the courts. He keeps you informed and at ease and having that type of repoire is very important when you're in this situation. In my case, I'd have had nobody else to travel the long road of justice with. Despite institutionalized harassment by local law enforcement and the courts I finally beat this wicked system with basic honesty and truth. However, the only reason that truth and honesty gets a hearing? A good lawyer like Ben Scarfe not allowing the system to railroad or treat you as already guilty. Trust me, the first thought of everyone in the courts is to get you to admit guilt or allow them to decide. Don't do that. Fight for justice with a great lawyer like Ben Scarfe. Sincerely, W.E. Llamas.

Benjamin Scarfe saved my career twice best lawyer for yuba Sutter area

Benjamin has taken two cases for me he also helped me with other problems he wasn't even paid for. I had a suspected DUI in 2012 Ben fought all year won the DMV so I kept my license.Mr Scarfe dissected my case to the point it was thrown out I blew a .21 and walked Ben worked very hard for me and help...ed me feel comfortable minimizing stress throughout the case. Without been my career would have been over. Recently Ben took a hit and run case and turned another career killer into a minor infraction that will not even go on my record after driving school. Ben is a very nice knowledgeable gentleman he is a spartan warrior in the courtroom and a good friend out of the courtroom I could write 3 pages on Ben and why he is the best lawyer I have ever seen. I called other lawyers in the area I knew right away after talking to Ben he was the one thanks for everything Ben I luv ya man lol sincerely .....jax teller....

By far the best out there

By far the best decision I have ever made. So so greatful for mr Scarfe and everything he did. Not only did he treat me like a friend/family, he fought his butt off for me for a entire year until he got my case dismissed. If you want someone who is not only very affordable, but someone who is down t...o earth, treats u like a friend/family go see mr Scarfe. I can't thank you enough!
