The worst

He missed several deadlines which cost me literally thousands of dollars. He charged me to file a motion to fix his mistake, which was denied, and charged me for that too. He talks a good game, but at the end of the day, doesn't care. He charged me so much to try to fix his mistake that I had to... make two payments on the bill, so he charged me interest on the second half, for work he would have never had to do if he hadn't missed the deadline. He should be reimbursing me the thousands of dollars extra I had to pay my ex because he blew the deadline, not charging me for trying to fix his mistake, which he didn't fix.

Worst attorney I’ve ever worked with

Poor attention to detail, no communication skills, out of date legal knowledge, and does not follow client instructions. He made my case much, much worse.

Failed to perform

Mr. Bennet was hired to represent our family in a very complicated international child-custody/domestic abuse situation. At the beginning, he jumped right in and wrote a very impressive brief. However, as time went on, he lost interest in the case, often siting he had other clients, and did not pre...pare at all for the mediation and the trial. He often did not respond for weeks when it was time sensitive issue, and let us down big time in his court presentation. It was too late for us to find another lawyer after the mediation and before the trial. I would not recommend his services at all.

Failed To Perform

Robert was tasked to file a motion for contempt as my counsel and failed to file properly, then after mores charges paid, failed to file properly yet again, you be the judge!

Robert Bennett

I worked with Rob on a child-support case last year. He was calm responsive to my calls and emails and did what was necessary to find the information we needed at any given time. I was especially impressed with his initiative and skill in writing a rebuttal to the other side's argument. His handling... of the response was thorough, compelling & skillful. It was clear that he understood the issues as well as the weaknesses in the other side's argument. Would recommend!

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.
