First Class Representation

Mr. Benfield has been representing me since the arraignment stage of my case. He has always been attentive and understanding of my personal situation. He clearly explains where I am at in this process and ensures I understand what my options are. I have always felt that he absolutely has my best inte...rest at heart. He has been extremely pro active in dealing with the prosecuting attorney and I have received very favorable conditions concerning my case. Mr. Benfield has made himself available to me at all times and always returns my e-mails or phone calls in a timely manner (normally within an hour and always the same day). Mr. Benfield has sought out different agencies on my behalf and always leaves me options as to make this situation as painless as possible for me. He has been an outstanding advocate for me in all areas. Mr. Benfield's fees are very reasonable. I will never regret having chosen Mr. Benfield to represent me, he is an excellent attorney and a fine man.

"I highly endorse this lawyer. I went to law school with attorney Benfield and during our time in law school he was a very competent writer and advocate. Attorney Benfield also has a great ability to analyze cases, especially in the area of criminal law. It is for these reasons that I would not only just recommend attorney Benfield, I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a criminal defense attorney."

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.
