An aggressive attorney for me

I had a terrible thing happen to me, it was the worst thing iin my life. I hired Jeremy not knowing what to expect. I mean no one wants to hire a lawyer. At our first meeting Jeremy listened to my whole story and I felt very comfortable with him. After, he was very aggressive with the prosecutor and ...he kept me informed. We got the case done with a great deal and I couldn't be happier.

Solildly Met My Expectations

I hired Mr. Benson for a DUI and I have no criminal history. He walked me through all the steps and kept me informed. He answered all my calls and was always available to meet and discuss my case. In the end, I couldn't be happier with the results.

Lazy and unprofessional

I hired Jeremy for a DUI. After our initial meeting, he never returned any of my phone calls or messages and never kept me informed on the status of my case. He would always send someone to cover for him in court so I could never meet with him to discuss my case. He was lazy, unprofessional, and not ...worth the hard earned money I paid him to represent me.

A lawyer you can trust

I am very glad that I hired Mr. Benson. He really went to bat for me and kept me informed the whole case through. The results were more than I could have asked for. I would refer Mr. Benson to all my friends and family.

Thank you Jeremy!!

You can't go wrong with Jeremy, he is a Great Lawyer. He really helped me with my case. I was very pleased with how he handled everything, and the outcome was better than I expected. I ranked Jeremy as Excellent, because that is exactly what he deserves. Jeremy works at Cooney Law Offices. All... of his associates are friendly, experienced, and very knowledgeable when it comes to the Law. I truly believe any one of Jeremy's team members could help with your situation. Give them a try, you won't be sorry!
