"I hired Ben for my divorce and he was amazing from the start. His friendly, down to earth vibe made me feel at ease, and he was there every step of the way, answering all my questions (and I had a lot). What stood out most was how genuine and caring he was, not just a lawyer, but someone who truly cared. I reached out to a few lawyers in the area, but Ben stood out. He was trustworthy, knowledgeable, and made me feel confident throughout the process. If you're going through a divorce, I highly recommend him. He made a tough situation so much easier from beginning to end."
