Smart and kind

Mr. Benjamin and his staff handled my very complicated divorce and subsequent remodification. I was impressed with his quick grasp of the situation and his knowledge of dealing with a diagnosed Narcissist. Jason was kind, knowledgeable, and no nonsense in trail. The opposing party came in with sta...cks of papers lead in on a dolly and we showed up and won the case with brief clear arguements. I have read some bad reviews about Jason and have chalked that up to someone who was a difficult client that didn’t get his or her way. My experience was and still is very respectful and competent on every level. I am very thankful to him and his organized team. I did not have a lot of money and I was fighting a bully and they had my back and for the first time I beat a giant..... all thanks to them. If I could rate this team 6 stars I would.

The best of the best!

Hired Jason for a custody battle, he was very confident in his work. During the case I was very uncertain of how it would go due to my son's mother being VERY incoperative. Jason was able to keep me positive and show results at the same time. Without Jason and the help of his team I wouldn't have a r...elationship with my son. I couldn't be more grateful! Pricing was definitely fair in the matter, he is very straight forward and doesn't beat around the bush. If he tells you how things are going to go that's what's going to happen. In my opinion he is VERY knowledgeable in his work, he knows the system and if you need a lawyer he is the man for the job.

Rockstar !!!

Had I known what I know now and hired Jason to begin with, I could have saved myself a lot of heartache, anxiety, and money. However, I was completely naive as to the possible reposition detriment to appear as pro see in a custody modification/contempt hearing, thus the outcome of my recent show cau...se hearing couldn't have been worse—I lost every motion presented, all four of them, was held in contempt—twice—but worse of all, the commissioner decided to change the custody arrangement, making my ex the sole custodian, despite the fact that I had raised the child since birth...alone. However, changing the status quo would have been detrimental for my child, forcing him to abandon his friends, his school, and the only home he's ever known. My naïveté and misplaced confidence cost me custody ! From sole caregiver and custodial parent to bi-monthly visits...what happened? The answer is pretty simple—I went pro see while my ex hired an attorney. I needed the best family lawyer the Northwest had to offer to fight this nightmare, thus started an extensive search to find an attorney that could stand up to my expectations. I needed an experienced custody lawyer; somebody that was aggressive, quick, highly intelligent, compassionate, witty, tenacious, eloquent... and honest. Somebody that would work with my meek student budget and not overcharge. I simply wanted what everybody is else looking for too—the "perfect package"; a combo of Saul Goodman, Erin Brockovich, Matlock and Perry Mason to fight for me. I must have researched every custody attorney in the NW, spending countless hours combing through reviews and court documents. However, it wasn't until I've watched life litigation and observed my the different attorneys argument styles that I finally found what I was looking for...Jason Benjamin. I went straight from the courtroom to Jason's office and was greeted with compassion and understanding, despite being a disheveled and crying mess. Jason Had I hired Jason right away this situation certainly wouldn't have happened. took one look at my case and said " Let's file for revision and set this straight".

Hard working lawyer who truly cares

I divorced my husband when he began an affair with my best friend who is a veterinarian. He ended up with a very soft landing because their combined incomes exceed $17,000 per month and they live in a mini-mansion on 25 acres. I ended up with an abusive boyfriend and had to move out of the bo...yfriend’s in an emergency and had some health issues on top of that. I ended up having to live with a friend and was unemployed. Well, my ex-husband smelled blood in the water and hired a highfalutin law firm and paid them a huge retainer to try to get custody of our teenagers away from me and to stop his child support of only $900 per month. I was terrified, but thank God through friends was able to hire Jason Benjamin who absolutely TORE UP my ex in court while his expensive lawyer stood there reading her argument from a script. The judge threw out his case and I retained my custody of our children and my child support! At a previous hearing, Jason was able to get the court to require my ex to pay my lawyer fees. If you are scared to death, get Jason on your side! Jason is someone who truly cares about his clients and works hard to get his clients the results they want.

Jason and his team are outstanding!!

My divorce and custody case is, for lack of a better term, a mess. My ex husband and I went back and forth for a few YEARS, pro se, and without either of us really knowing what we were doing AT ALL, our case file is a disaster. I hired Jason towards the beginning of this fiasco and we triumphed every... time in court. I came upon financial issues and could not pay off the rest of what I owed him to remain my lawyer, so I had to go back to pro se. Almost 2 years later, when I had the means to pay him in full (a flat rate that guaranteed his serves through trial) I went straight back to his office and he not only remembered me, but he also remembered almost every tiny detail of my case, to include some things I personally didn't even remember. With him and his amazing team (Melissa, Lindsay, and Jess) in my corner, we have made more leaps and bounds in my divorce and custody in these short months than I ever made on my own over a matter of years. His court room presence is strong and you can tell without a doubt that he truly takes pride in helping those he serves as their lawyer. If I had my pick of any lawyer in the greater pierce county area, I would always pick Jason, no question about it. I will never be able to thank Jason and his team enough for all they have done for me through this difficult time of my life. They fight for what's right and because of him, I have come out on top in my case. 10 out of 10 times, I would highly recommend Jason and his team!!!
