Life Savior

I came to Ben about 2.5 years ago and explained to him my situation and I told him that it was my fault I take full responsibility and that I want to do whatever it takes to correct my mistakes. We went through a long process to where I had to face the consequences but in the end I got what I wanted ...and now officially out of the system. I couldn’t of done it without Ben and he’s completely amazing and compassionate about his clients. 10/10 recommendation!

Ms Smith from Richmond VA

I contacted Robert's law group when I didn't know what to do or which way to turn and didn't know what to expect. Mr. Lankford of Robert's Law group gave me a call,talk to me and told me not to worry he will handle it. Mr Lankford did just that and got the while damn thing DISMISSED! I was so relieve...d and grateful and I learned that sometimes you just have to let things go because when you try to get revenge on someone you may dig 2 graves. THANKS BEN!

Misdemeanor Larceny

I approached Roberts Law Group full of anxiety about my situation. Since it was a second offense I was sure I would end up in jail. But, after explaining my circumstances to Mr. Lankford , and providing proof of my explanation he assured me that I would not end up in jail, and that he would try to ...get the charges dismissed. Well, that's exactly what he did - get the charges dismissed! On top of that I didn't even have to waste the whole day sitting around in court. He was on time, and did exactly what he said he would do! You can't get any better than that! Needless to say, a huge burden was lifted off my shoulders, and I can now return to a normal life having learned a lesson in the process. I would highly recommend him. Thank you very much, Mr. Lankford!

Great attorney who exceeds expectations.

Mr. Lankford is an attorney who not only handles all aspects of my criminal case but also some matters after the case. In my criminal case he fought to get me the very best outcome and he did. Ben was also very dogged and thorough on two matters after the case regarding my probation. While these w...ere not matters covered by the general statutes, Ben stayed with me and used his pull as an attorney to help me bring to closure some probation issues. While in all honesty I hope to never need Ben's services in the future, if I do I know who my first call to an attorney will be.

Great all around lawyer

I hired Ben 3 separate times and each time he helped me through multiple misdemeanors. After each case was over I felt truly lucky and thankful for what the outcome of each case was. Ben was very patient with my case and he is great at communicating and is very confident in what he can do. The only s...omewhat odd thing was how he had another lawyer represent me towards the end of my case, but the outcome ended up being great, so I'd recommend anybody from Roberts Law Group to anybody with legal trouble.
