Outstanding Lawyer!!!

I started my on-line search for an attorney approximately 18 months ago. I didn’t know any lawyers in the Tacoma area, so I was relying on what I read in reviews to help me select the legal council to help me through my intimate committed relationship breakup and the ensuing custody battle for our c...hild. When I met with Jason he quickly gained an understanding of my situation, was confident from the start and offered a clear and concise path forward to address my unique situation. My case ended up in trial in spite of efforts to negotiate a settlement. The trial process was difficult emotionally, but from Jason’s command of the court room, his rapport with the Judge and court personnel and his tight grasp on legal matters it was clear he was absolutely the best lawyer in the courtroom. The end result of trial was precisely as Jason had predicted, and for some items even more in my favor. I was awarded a large sum of money and custodial parent with a great parenting plan for my child. In addition, he prices his legal services as a flat fee, no matter how much effort is required to get resolution. At first I was skeptical, but after going through many, many unplanned court hearings and a full 4 day trial, my legal costs were about 15% of what the other side had spent. In summary, best lawyer in the courtroom, achieved best possible outcome and was by far the lowest cost alternative. No doubt in my mind, he was absolutely the best attorney for me and I’d recommend him unequivocally to anyone looking for family law council.

Outstanding lawyer!

Jason came by recommendation and while I was hesitant on going with the first lawyer I spoke with, I am happy I did. He is very knowledgable; he was upfront with me from the beginning and the final result of my case was exactly what we had anticipated. Most family related cases are highly emotional, ...and Jason handled everything with compassion and also a sense of humor. I feel confident in referring this attorney to anyone I know. He is worth every penny!

Great Lawyer with a great team behind him

I hired Jason on a whim, hoping for the best and I'm so glad I did! Jason's team was very thorough, my case was very complex and the other party was doing nothing that they were supposed to. Jason ensured they were held accountable for their actions, and was able to argue and prove our points time an...d time again. My case lasted for about 10 months, there were times where I felt defeated, but Jason ensured everything was going to turn out fine, and it definitely did! Jason made sure I was up to date on every detail, didn't miss a motion or a chance to appeal anything. I felt completely confident in his ability to represent me, which is HUGE when it comes to the most important thing in a parent's life, your children. His paralegals kept in constant contact with me, and were nothing but friendly and professional(even when I was being a stressed out, hard to deal with client:) I would HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend Jason. His team is fantastic, welcoming and doesn't miss a beat! Worth every penny I spent!!

So happy we had Jason on our side!!

After wasting a ton of money on consultation fees with lawyers who told me that exact opposite of what I wanted to hear I found Jason around 4:50 PM on a Monday. I called his office and explained the custody situation that was currently going on in another state and they told me to come in THAT EVENI...NG to get everything sorted out! Jason stayed at his office for quite a while past closing time to help calm me down and figure out our case. He then had the papers filed to get the court case switched to Washington before the end of the week! He wasted no time helping us out! I received daily emails and calls from Mr. Benjamin and his staff to keep me updated every step of the way. Not only did he stay late for us, but Mr. Benjamin also came in early to help us with a hearing that was going on in Texas. He got my case switched to Washington and has helped untangle this crazy case we've had going on for almost 2 years. I'm so thankful to have found Mr. Benjamin, he did so much for us and cost us a lot less than anyone else would! I would recommend anyone who needs help in a custody situation contact Jason and his team!

Jason rocks!

After being disappointed by several lawyers and wasting a ton of money with no results, I was referred to Jason about 3 weeks before trial. Jason took it on with no problem. He knows his stuff and is to be feared in the courtroom for this reason. I would love to just sit and watch him in the courtroo...m against another lawyer because he is that good. It was just such a relief to find a lawyer and get a resolution to a 4 year long divorce and custody battle. Other circumstances lead to full custody that he didn't know about but it still all worked out in my favor to have him on my side. Reasonably priced too. I can't thank Jason enough for helping me finally close this case. I agree with all the other users reviews in favor of him. He has a good sense of humor but knows when to be serious too and being easy on the eyes doesn't hurt either! My parents (who attended court with me) and I were very impressed. Thank you Jason! No doubt if I ever need help again, I will know who to call and I highly recommend him.
