"Attorney Benske is distracted/preoccupied in her work. She does not communicate nor does she respond. If you disagree with her she will fire you. Don't expect a refund. Don't waste your money. There are many attorneys out there."

"Atty. Benske was very good representing me when Associate Atty. Rose went to another firm to practice corporate law. It’s easy to see that the staff makes a great team. Thank you."

"Michael was easy to work with and helped me through my divorce process. He explained in detail everything that I needed to know and guided me from the beginning to the end. I would definitely recommend Michael for any family law related issues."
