Benjamin William Meyer

Ben Meyer represented me during my divorce, which recently concluded with a settlement agreement between myself and my ex-wife. Throughout the course of the divorce, Ben was very knowledgeable and informative, not only regarding my rights as both a father and husband in a long-term marriage, but also regarding each step of the divorce process itself. Ben always kept me well-informed, answered my questions and thoroughly addressed my concerns. At no time during the divorce did I ever feel that he was not working hard to protect my best interests or willing the fight for me. He offered good recommendations, sound advice and practical solutions to various issues and problems which could have otherwise made my divorce a complete nightmare. I sincerely appreciate the effort Ben put into helping me reach a settlement agreement in my case, and I would highly recommend him to anyone who is going through a divorce.

I went through a divorce and needed a good lawyer. Ben was very thorough and made sure everything was covered and understood by everyone involved. I was able to ask any questions and get quick, precise answers. He worked with me on my schedule. Everything went very smooth during the whole process. He was easy to contact whenever I had a question or issue. If there is ever any follow up to my case, I will not go anywhere else. I really appreciate everything he did and how solid everything still is. He was very dependable and I would highly recommend him.

I recently went through a tough divorce. Benjamin assured me he would get me through the process quickly and efficiently. Not having gone through this process and with it being highly emotional for me, I was very appreciative that he took the lead and laid out his strategy and expectations for me. Benjamin is an excellent communicator. With every step of the process, he took the time to make sure I fully understood what was happening, why it was happening, and the possible scenarios that could play out. This was very important to me, especially with my young children involved. Benjamin gave me clear direction with developing the MSA and JPA. He is an excellent wordsmith. With every step of writing the documents, he would give me suggestions in a way that I felt empowered to make the decision for the content. All in all, Benjamin was true to his promise. The divorce was finalized in 3 months and I am in a very good situation with my children and my ex because of his solid leadership and acumen. I strongly recommend Benjamin!

I had an exceptional experience working with Ben Meyer. He worked diligently on my behalf. During the most difficult point in my life, I knew that I could rely heavily on Ben’s expertise. He was able to provide me with sure-footed guidance, and he was able to help me avoid paying maintenance to my ex-wife. Even when I waivered, Ben was the rock that kept me grounded. He is a compassionate attorney that will fight furiously for his client’s best interest. I would highly recommend Ben Meyer and the service that he provides as a skilled attorney. The value in capability that Ben offers is well worth the price that I paid for his services.

When I hired Ben I wanted an attorney who would go to bat for me. I also wanted an attorney who would answer my phone calls and respond to my emails. With Ben I got both. I could tell Ben really cared about my case and protecting my children from my crazy ex-wife.

I was very pleased with Attorney Meyer and how he handled my divorce. My ex-husband works out of town mostly and didn't want the divorce to begin with. he and his attorney stalled every chance they got, which ended up costing me a lot more in legal fees. Ben filed petitions to keep them on course and discovered a bank account my ex was hiding from me for years. The end result of the divorce was I got 60% of our accounts and maintenance. It was worth it. No husband and very happy!

I realize my case was very small compared to some of the clients and cases handled by Attorney Meyer, however, I was never treated or made to feel other than a valued client. I always appreciated that when I left a message with questions, I always received a prompt response with answers to my inquiries. Mid-case, Attorney Meyer had to deal with the hurdle of the Dead Man's Act, and I was very impressed and pleased with the strong confidence with which he addressed this issue and was able to change course to accommodate this new twist for our case. Being on the stand during the trial, I want you to know, I never felt anything but strong confidence in Attorney Meyer, who guided me through the entire process. I feel confident and secure that I received the best defense possible in my case. Attorney Meyer was detailed in his presentation and I felt honored to be represented by him and his firm.

I made a smart move by hiring Ben to represent me in my divorce case. Ben was well prepared in court and understood divorce law in Illinois. I was grateful he was able to negotiate shared custody and help me obtain a higher portion of the martial funds due to my circumstances. I would suggest any father who needs help with divorce or custody to sit down with Ben and learn your rights. Ben pushed hard for me and achieved excellent results in a short period of time.

Ben is an excellent attorney. Ben represented me in a very difficult divorce that was loaded with financial and custody issues. He was always spot on with his advice. Although it was a lengthy process Ben kept the case moving forward. I would highly recommend Ben to anyone thinking about filing for divorce.

If you want an attorney who will fight for you and be aggressive please do not hire Ben. We hired him for something that should have been very simple but he kept wanting to settle with the other party even though we knew the other party was not reasonable. Court date after court date, status after status he blew through the retainer plus way more than that and never fought for us. When he saw we were dry, instead of working with us he withdrew after no progress was made and is now filing suit after there was absolutely nothing done in our case. He is not a responsive attorney; our calls and emails were never returned just forwarded emails from other counsel. He filed the initial petition and completely let the other attorney walk in and take over. He told us he wanted to avoid trial at all cost and in the end we were the ones hurt. Now looking for another attorney and even they don't understand why an adjustment has taken over 6 months to work out.
