Ben Raybin

Ben was courteous and straightforward. He listened, explained, offered options, gave us a timeline, and followed through in a timely matter. Ben looked comfortable in the courtroom and completed the process with the best possible outcome.

Not only did he keep me out of jail but had all charges dropped for minimal community service.

I am a true believer in Ben Raybin and his firm. He has represented me in both a criminal (Assault) and the civil case that resulted. On both occasions, the number one quality that stands out to me is Ben’s honesty.
