Pretty much took my money and ghosted me. He did absolutely nothing for me after telling me he can take care of my estate. Nevet returned calls or emails. This guy is a quack. Beware of Jamed Ward

Got wrongfully arrested during visitation with my child the day before Thanksgiving and held hostage all day (later confirmed in court) and havent seen my son since. Whole county filled with a bunch corrupt Nazis. Wheres the woman that almost killed my 4 month child though?

I don't understand the system. The current DA was my sons paid lawyer and my son got the book thrown at him pretty much. Yet a 69 yr old man pleads guilty to in appropriate touching of a minor and gets slap on the wrist. And not the 1st time. Just proves the person with he deeper pockets comes out ahead again. BS!!!

I paid Mr. Benjamin thousands of dollars to represent me. He refused to follow my instructions, waived my rights against my wishes and left me at arraignment with no lawyer oh and to date he has not returned my money. I absolutely feel that he straight ripped me off. I strongly caution people about a $400 an hour ego that does not match his talent. He care not what you have to say once you hire him your case becomes his and he is so arrogant

18 Sep, 2020 by Anonymous

I hired Ronald Benjamin to represent a criminal case. I paid him the fee for his services and he did nothing! For three days he called me to his office both at home and public office in Binghamton NY. His behavior was very odd, not to mention he said " If I have to go to trial in this case, my fee is $3500 more. We're talking five grand, can you swing it? " He told me this doesn't have to go to trial. But I am replacing the incompetent public defender Kevin Ridell. He called the court and did the necessary protocol to replace the public defender Kevin Ridell. He went to court and did nothing but repeat what the public defender said, and gave no defense whatsoever. On the third day he told the defendant in custody he withdrew from the case the second day in front of Judge Dooly without my knowledge or permission to do so. I asked for a refund of my fee for services not rendered and misleading, false representation, questionable remarks and gestures while meeting with him at his office several times. He is a convicted felon, tax evader, gambler, hustler and has had his license revoked many times. He said I paid him to go to court not as a defense attorney, but as a second opinion. He refused to give me a full refund and is clearly not an attorney at all. He's a known criminal. Warning: Do not ever hire this man. His background speaks for itself!

Mr Benjamin has been my Attorney for two separate cases. I have known him since early 2005. He handled both of my cases accurately and with good ,fair results in my favor. His litigation skills in court were impeccable. Not at anytime did he smell of alcohol or was drunk. He can't stand the smell of cigarette smoke. His office desk had a stack of files on one side and a stack of exercise and nutrition guides on the other. I found him to be interesting, respectful, client focused and very knowledgeable to my legal issue.

I called James Troy after being told he was the best in town and he may be , however when it came time to get records he had me running all over town getting them. When it came that the insurance carrier wanted to settle he did not give me all the facts so I almost made a bad choose and signed off on the medical. Then after being harassed buy the carrier, when I said something to him about it his response was lets wait until they do it again. After I had surgery they dragged right into court because the had to paid for full disability, I still had stitches in my back and he said he had another case with a new client so he put me off to one of his associates how went in and talked to the lawyer for the carrier, he came out and told me if I agreed to let them put me back to my mark rate they would leave me alone, if not they were going to keep calling me into court a sending me to see there Dr. until I went back to the mark rate. Needless to say I have fired the firm and do not recommend Jim Troy to anyone anymore. The said thing is I had recommended he to several people.

Communication was next to nothing. Asking clients to get work done when not required. Never told about closing date or time. Legal assistant should find a new career. She does not know how to properly do her job. Very poor service and would never recommend anyone to use him.

Great ... until you discover over 4 decades later that your deed was altered with a false survey description and your misery of losing your land was only eased by the firms “get a survey” support. So you spend your life and savings trying to preserve your family land and they get away with all failed representation due to statute of limitations. IS THIS THE INTEGRITY YOU WANT AT YOUR SIDE?

How to Check the Credibility of a Lawyer

Before hiring a lawyer, it's crucial to verify their credibility and ensure they're qualified to handle your case:

Verify Their License:
Check with your state's bar association to confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing.
Experience and Specialization:
Ensure the lawyer specializes in the area of law relevant to your case.
Disciplinary Record:
Look up any history of disciplinary actions or complaints through the state bar association.
Client Reviews and Testimonials:
Read reviews on legal directories like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to gauge client satisfaction.
Professional Memberships:
Membership in professional organizations or specialty bar associations can indicate a commitment to their field.
Awards and Recognitions:
Honors from reputable organizations reflect expertise and a positive reputation.
Consultation Assessment:
Use the initial consultation to evaluate their communication skills, responsiveness, and willingness to address your concerns.
Ask for References:
A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most of your initial meeting with a lawyer, come prepared with:

Relevant Documents:
Bring all documents related to your case, such as contracts, correspondence, legal notices, court papers, or evidence.
Written Summary:
Prepare a concise written summary of your situation, including key dates, events, and involved parties.
List of Questions:
Write down any questions you have about your case, the legal process, or the lawyer's experience.
Financial Information:
If applicable, bring financial documents like pay stubs, tax returns, or bank statements.
Contact Information:
Provide details of any witnesses or other parties relevant to your case.
Personal Identification:
Bring a valid ID for verification purposes.
Pen and Notebook:
Take notes during the consultation to remember important points.
Budget Constraints:
Be ready to discuss your budget and any financial limitations.

How Much Does a Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a lawyer varies widely based on several factors:

Fee Structures:
- Hourly Rate:
  Lawyers may charge anywhere from $150 to $500 or more per hour, depending on experience and location.
- Flat Fee:
  For routine legal services like drafting a will or handling an uncontested divorce, lawyers might offer a flat fee.
- Retainer Fee:
  An upfront payment against which the lawyer bills hourly fees.
- Contingency Fee:
  Common in personal injury cases; the lawyer receives a percentage (typically 25% to 40%) of any settlement or award.
- Monthly Retainer:
  For ongoing services, businesses might pay a monthly fee for a set number of hours or services.
Factors Affecting Cost:
- Complexity of the Case:
  More complex cases require more time and resources, increasing costs.
- Lawyer's Experience:
  Highly experienced lawyers may charge higher fees.
- Geographic Location:
  Legal fees can vary significantly by region or city.
- Additional Expenses:
  Court filing fees, expert witness fees, travel expenses, and administrative costs may be extra.
Estimating Total Costs:
Request a detailed fee agreement outlining all potential costs.
Discuss any additional expenses that may arise during the case.
Negotiating Fees:
Some lawyers may be willing to negotiate fees or offer payment plans, especially for clients with financial constraints.
Pro Bono Services:
For those who cannot afford legal services, some lawyers or legal aid organizations offer services at reduced rates or for free.
