This note to give my honest feedback to Ben Carrasco who represented & guided me through my divorce. Ben you are the most proactive and accessible attorney I have worked with throughout my 30+ years career and my personal life. There was not 1 time when it took you more than 12 hrs to respond to any of my correspondence. This was very much appreciated especially in time when the whole journey is unknown (for me at least). I also very much appreciated the honest direct feedback approach you take, your quick analysis of the situation & the upfront communication about what it would take to complete the legal process & cost of it. Your transparency throughout the process made what was already a stressful experience as seamless as it could be. So thank you Ben and I will never hesitate to recommend you to my friends, family, acquaintance should one need your services.
Divorce is never easy, and mine was particularly nasty. I can unequivocally say that hiring Ben was the best decision I made throughout the process. Ben is an extremely intelligent, honest, and efficient attorney. He takes the time to explain everything, and his response time to emails and phone calls is absolutely stellar. I don't want to set expectations high- but in my case it seemed like he never took a weekend off.nnBen is brilliant in court. He made effective arguments on my behalf that I believe lead to a better than expected outcome for me. He even took the court granted lunch hour to do research to help bolster our case instead of grabbing a well deserved bite! Unlike some lawyers, Ben is not court averse. While he is extremely willing to work with the other party to avoid lengthy litigation, he is equally willing to stand up for his clients interest at trial.nnHis practice also has a very lean and efficient billing system that does not look to find ways to inflate fees. You pay for the work he does, and it is well worth it!nnI cannot recommend Ben enough. His rare combination of brilliance and personal integrity make him a pleasure to work with. If you find yourself in the position of needing a divorce attorney, you can't go wrong with Ben.
I've been meaning to write a review for a while now. The truth is that every time I come to write it, I don't even know where to start! It's been a long journey and Ben has done so much for my family. I am one of Ben's longest clients and can tell you why you should hire him for any family matter.nnBack in 2016, I interviewed several lawyers before Ben regarding an immediate need for representation for my high-conflict separation. I was initially impressed by the videos on Ben's website. I was also impressed by his Stanford Law education, what others had to say about him, and by his obvious passion for what he does. I ultimately decided on Ben after speaking with him. He told me what I needed to hear regarding potential outcomes of my case, and not just what I wanted to hear in order to get my money. nnFrom the beginning, Ben was responsive and ready to go. He responded to my initial inquiry on a weekend and had a TRO (temporary restraining order) signed by a judge within days. It was always this way - Ben gets things done when they need to be done and, as a client, I never felt like I didn't come first. Just ask him about the time he answered my calls and questions from a hospital bed when he was sick - I'm not kidding! nnMy case was sensitive and complex - involving many hearings, expert witnesses, psych evaluations, a guardian ad litem appointment, CPS, a child therapist, etc. You name it, Ben took care of it for me. He never shied away from these complexities. As an attorney who will fight aggressively when need be, Ben thrived in these situations and always fought for my best interest when dealing with the many entities at hand. He is aggressive but not dirty - this will save you time, money, and sanity, while also protecting your best interest. nnI could tell Ben had credibility with the judge. He was praised and clearly well-respected. He outclassed opposing counsel, won many key hearings, and his courtroom performance is unparalleled. nnBilling was always fair and transparent. He was extremely efficient and I know this saved me money. I want to mention that in this business, you get what you pay for. I don't think I've ever been so glad to give my money to someone! Cutting corners and hiring inexperienced or undervalued counsel shows. Save yourself and hire Ben. The results he provides are priceless.nnIn the end, the father's rights were terminated and my husband is now in the process of adopting my daughter. This is not, nor should hardly ever need to be, the outcome most parents desire - Ben will tell you this himself as he is a very reasonable man - but it was necessary for us. Throughout this process, I learned that termination is next to impossible, but by the grace of God and a lot of hard work, Ben accomplished just that!nnBen is a great man and a phenomenal attorney. He cares about what he does and is the best you're going to find, with the client testimonials to prove it. For any family matter, do yourself a favor and hire Ben.
Ben Carrasco is very sharp and pays great attention to detail and was very professional throughout the entire process. He responds to emails and texts very quickly, doesn't take days to get back to you like my previous representation did. He was there for me weekends and evenings, whenever necessary to get the job done quickly and efficiently. Ben is very honest and straightforward. This was very important to me, as I was in a difficult divorce. I was very pleased with the outcome. My ex-husband even recently told me I had the better attorney.
I can not thank Ben enough for assisting me and my family in a very difficult divorce right before the holidays. nAfter realizing my previous attorney was just too busy with other clients or on vacation to assist me in a timely manner, I hired Ben. nNot only did he listen to my needs and concerns, I felt he had my back 100%. He demonstrated this by rolling up his sleeves and jumped in negotiating a settlement. nHe knocked out the decree within days once we agreed on terms. My divorce came to an end swiftly without going to trial. nHe was exceptionally prudent with billing, therefore my expenses overall were reasonable. nI wish I hired him in the beginning. I am grateful I utilized his services in the end. #lifesaver
