Mr. Houston bent over backwards for me in giving advice when I handled my case pro se. He did advise me that I would be at a disadvantage by going pro se and that I should seek legal counsel. After I explained that this was not possible due to my finances, he immediately started sending me links to click on and view TN court rules of civil evidence. I'm not sure why he was so very fourth coming with help, but he was!! I owe him BIG TIME!! I really feel this is an attorney who will look toward doing the right thing for his client and not about padding his wallet!! I was able to settle my case on the court house steps. If I had not filed the lawsuit I don't believe this settlement would have ever happened. GOD BLESS Mr. Houston!!

Ben is an excellent litigator. I hired him to represent me for several post judgment motions filed by my ex after the divorce. Ben won every single motion!! Be also won my appeal before the Tennessee Court of Appeals. Ben is strategic. He crafted a persuasive reply brief and defended his position during oral arguments. I was extremely grateful that he took my case. I knew that I was in excellent hands. I can’t say enough good things about Ben.

Ben Houston is an amazing lawyer. Very detailed oriented. Very smart and knows the laws and court proceedings very well. He saved my nephew and five other kids in the process. I can not thank him enough. If you want the best lawyer Ben Houston is that lawyer. We are so blessed to have our nephew and he is safe and loved.

I called 4 lawyers before coming on Avvo and have still yet (almost 3 months later) to receive a call back. I found Ben on here with the most positive reviews and now I see why. Ben answered me within an hour and talked to me for over an hour while I explained my case and told me what I would need to do before I hired him. Moving forward in the case regarding possible child abuse and custody, he’s gone over everything in detail about what I need to do, and helped me every step of the way. Anytime something comes up he calls me and updates me, even if there hasn’t been a change do to no reply from the opposing party. Or anytime I email him about a change or a question he gets back to me very quickly. We have had to deal with DCS with this case as well and has made me feel more at ease. He is very intelligent regarding family/divorce law as well as compassionate about it, he really cares about my case and never makes me feel like I’m unconvincing him anytime I call (which is often). He has went above and beyond in every way regarding my case, accomplishing things that I don’t believe another attorney would have done as much as he has. I would recommend him to anyone. Thank you so much!!

My primary attorney recommended Ben as a specialist in case law for child and family motions, and I couldn’t be happier that we brought him on! His attention to detail and diligent research made all the difference in winning our case. I’ve been dealing with this for almost twelve years, and Ben is probably the most knowledgeable attorney in regards to case law and arguing the finer points of family law I’ve ever seen. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone. He communicates effectively and returns calls and emails quickly. I couldn’t have asked for anyone better to research and argue case law.

Mr. Houston represented us in an ugly case against DCS in Knox County. We had two different lawyers before him who both went in to the courtroom empty handed and advised us to "just roll with what they tell you to do". Well, as a mother that didnt sit right with me! I researched lawyers who will stand up to DCS and the juvenile court and ultimately found Mr. Houston. In the very first conversation I had with him, he was quoting specific laws and how they related to my case. From the very beggining he was passionate about arguing the law and dedicating his time to help us get our child back. Over the course of a year, we had several court appearences and Mr. Houston never cowered in the courtroom. He is confident in his knowledge of the law and is not afraid to fight for you even though the court system can be very intimidating. After a long, painful battle we won the fight because Mr. Houston suggested filing a Motion for Summary Judement in a higher court. We are forever grateful for Mr. Houston and how he represented us.

I consulted Attorney Houston for my criminal charge, and asked him a lot of questions. Unlike many other lawyers, he does not reserve any useful information until you pay to hire. He was very patient and gave very useful information at his best knowledge, without an intention to ask me to hire him. Unlike many other lawyers who do not give or avoid giving affirmative answers to avoid responsibilities, which make many consultation fruitless. His answers were clear and affirmative to his best effort. At most time, a "best educated guess" can give a lot of hints to understand a whole picture of a case, and let us know many possibilities. I highly recommend consulting such kind of lawyers, instead of those who avoid any single affirmative answer.

Mr. Ben Houston is an amazingly professional, knowledgeable, and personable attorney. He handled my case and the outcome was exactly what we were working towards. He knows the law, he will work with you and represent you with ourstanding results. He really works with you and makes sure he has every detail, he does his research, ..I cannot say enough great things about him. He is the one you want to represent you! I was very impressed by his knowledge and his professional manner in the courtroom! 10 stars!

Mr. Houston contacted me in response to my email. He very patiently listened as I explained my current legal issue, asking questions only when he needed more clarification, and NEVER spoke down to me as I expressed my frustrations. He also patiently answered the numerous questions about things I had found in my unsuccessful attempt to researchh laws pertaining to my situation prior to posting my question on AVVO.com. When I asked his retainer fee, he explained, in layman terms, the two possible avenues this case could take and the varying amount of work required for each, which will, understandably, determine his fees. Very ethically, he even suggested that hiring a local attorney who would be more familiar with the DA & judges in that court system may possible be more cost effective. That suggestion, alone earned all my respect because it spoke volumes about his ethics and made it clear that he truly wants to help me resolve this issue and he isn't trying to take me to the cleaners. I immmediately made the decision to hire him as soon as I get the money together. He has agreed to try and resolve my issue for a specific fee, provided that the DA is willing to negotiate and resolve it without a court appearance. If, for whatever reason, it doesn't work out that way and a court appearance is required, we will discuss all the other options at that time.

Mr. Houston was very helpful with my situation and went above and beyond the call of duty. He was very honest and forthcoming He was also empathy and genuine. If I ever need an attorney I would definitely contact Mr. Houston

I have known Ben Houston for more than a decade and I have found him to be one of the most honest and ethical lawyers in the Knoxville area. He is most certainly trustworthy and hardworking. As a practicing Attorney myself, I have referred many clients to Ben over the years when someone faced a situation I could not help them with. I have never received a complaint about his work or ethics. I have practiced with Ben on cases involving complex litigation and he is certainly a good guy to have on your side.

I asked Mr. Houston a question through avvo _& he provided me with a lengthy & knowledgeable answer & even cited a case ruling for me! He went above & beyond to answer my question .. THANK YOU BEN HOUSTON!!
