Clear and Definitive Answers

I asked specific questions regarding my situation. Alex was spot on with answers. Usually due to the complexity of situations one can get a yes and no answer, leaving the client in a dilemma, this is due to the complexity of the law, I am glad Alex has the art of dealing with complex situation and ...providing clarity. It was refreshing to talk to a professional who could give definitive answers. I wish Alex continued success.

Thank you, I believe we spoke during your Avvo Advisor sessions and you mentioned this review. I work hard to provide good advice during these consultation sessions. There are many types of issues that reasonable people regularly encounter, which can be resolved or greatly impacted just by getting sensible legal advice. Thank you for leaving this positive review and I hope you can resolve this issue after speaking with me during your Avvo Advisor sessions.

Went above and beyond!

Alex was very helpful in my landlord-tenant/eviction matter. I was able to speak with him even late at night. He provided a lot of useful information and potential legal strategies/defenses. Despite my having a very "unique" and challenging set of circumstances, he seemed to be very knowledgeable an...d on point. I particularly liked that he listened to my thoughts/ideas and valued them. If I can find the money to do so, I may hire him to appear with me in court.

Excellent Consultation

Alex was quick to respond, polite and let me explain in detail what exactly happened in my case, without having a negative attitude like I have experienced with other lawyers. I wish I'd have contacted him sooner because I can sense that his knowledge of the laws and persistency to do the right thin...gs right away would have made a huge difference in my case and I probably would have won. I will continue to keep Alex in my phone if I ever need him again.

Classic attorney!

Mr Bentsen was very helpful with my concern on a attorney agreement question I posted about my current attorney. He dedicated his time, gave me great advice and put me in the right direction. Wish I would have found you sooner! Thank you!

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.
