Gregory Benker..Hard Working and Excellent Attorney

In 2010 I had to find an Attorney that could represent me for a Social Secrutiy Disablity case. A friend of mine recommended Attorney Benker. From our first conversation I felt he would do an excellant job representing my case. My case has been settled and because Attorney Benker fought hard, was ver...y effective and very well spoken in front of the Judge, I won my disability benefits. I have recommended Attorney Benker to others that I know need an experinced and hard working Attorney.

Thanks, Greg, for your professional and friendly assistance during my daughter's dealings with Social Securith Administration .

Greg was very helpful and attentive to my daughter's problems with obtaining Social Security Disability. He always answered my calls promptly and with solid suggestions. He interviewed my daughter, who has agoraphobia, on skype so she wouldn't have to go out. He offered to accompany us to the Soci...al Security office. He was very patient and answered all my questions thoroughly and with good advice.

Mishandled my SSD

He handled my case BUT I never signed into a contract with him. He was not aggressive at all.. very timid and nervous throughout the hearing which I feel cost me my disability.....

THIS IS ONE SUPERB LAWYER

I am pleased to give the highest recommendation to Greg Benker's legal services. Mr. Benker handled a complicated insurance matter for me that required synthesizing a tremendous amount of documentation and organizing it into an effective case, all within a very tight timeline. I was greatly impress...ed with the skill and expertise with which Mr. Benker did this. Not only is Mr. Benker an excellent writer and communicator, the sensitivity and empathy he demonstrated in our interactions and all aspects of the case made working with him a real pleasure. If you are seeking a highly experienced, compassionate attorney who knows insurance law top to bottom, will fight hard for you, and has a warm, pleasant personality, choose Greg Benker.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
