Absolutely hands down the best attorney, I have ever had. Very caring and works hard on your case. Absolute attention to detail and testimony from other half. Just picks the lies apart and knows the law. Could not thank him enough for fighting so hard for my family. Honest, reliable, always available, and family man attorney. Would recommend to anyone in Texas. Above and beyond. Thank you Ben!!!!

I consulted a handful of attorneys before moving forward with Mr. Carrasco. Based on what I had learned in those consults I knew I needed counsel that was confident in complex issues. I didn’t want someone to hold my hand, I needed someone to represent my best interest and that of my children aggressively and who wasn’t afraid of trial if it came to that.
Mr. Carrasco actively kept me in the loop with anything related to my case, answered all of my many questions promptly and sometimes on the occasional weekend (accessibility was super important to me). I would whole-heartedly recommend Ben, his expertise got me through an extremely difficult situation and his dedication to the end result I wanted was unwavering.

Ben agreed to take my case when I was under much duress. He replied to my questions and emails in a timely manner, answered my calls when necessary, and provided me with the expert and calming legal advice that I needed.
My divorce has been bar none the most difficult phase in my entire life. Ben guided me through each part with the patience I required and occasionally with the aggressiveness that was called for.
He writes client documents with a thoroughness I was unaccustomed to and goes into each hearing prepared to WIN.
I could not have asked for better representation.

Ben Carrasco does not have the experience to take on complex divorce cases especially with children involved. His preparation was terribly inadequate with an inability to gather and assimilate evidence that should have protected his client. My divorce case was so disorganized and inadequately prepared (whether Ben has too much on his plate?) The Decree itself is so poorly written with a "cut & paste" hastily thrown together set of outdated provisions that I am now having to re litigate the intention and meaning of many of the decree requirements. Ben also failed to capture key evidence to protect my separate property and between this mistake and his fees, cost me well over $125,000 of hard earned retirement assets (down the drain.) Ben appeared nervous and intimidated in most of our hearings and the opposing counsel simply ran all over Ben. Would not recommend him for complex family cases.

Absolutely, hands down, the best family lawyer in Austin. I cannot thank Ben enough for assisting me in a very difficult child custody case. He is honest, articulate, and really cares about his clients. I feel fortunate to have had him on my side through a difficult custody battle.

When I started my search, I visited websites of many attorneys and it almost seemed like an impossible task when every website seemingly look the same. But just after spending few minutes on Ben’s website, I knew right away that I found an attorney who would be able to help me. I was really impressed by his straightforward explanation of how he does business, his credentials and reviews from other clients. I ultimately decided on Ben after speaking with him.

Ben worked very hard on my case. He takes that extra level of care when you need it most, responding to emails and phone at night and on the weekends. This was very much appreciated. In my case, my ex-wife’s attorney used dirty & unethical tactics but Ben handled it with impressive aplomb. Ben did a superb job of presenting the facts in the courtroom.The extent of Ben’s preparation in comparison to that of opposing attorney was obvious during the hearing. His courtroom performance is unparalleled.

Ben is a good man and a phenomenal attorney. While I realize I was not his only client, he made me feel like I was. I was impressed by his confidence and obvious capability to handle anything that was thrown at him. Ben was responsive, timely, aggressive when needed, and throughout the whole process I knew I was in good hands. While this was one of the toughest things I've gone through, I could not be more grateful for the results I got through Ben. Thank you so much 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.

Back 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.

From 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!

My 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.

I 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.

Billing 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.

In 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!

Ben 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.

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.

Ben 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.

His 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!

I 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.

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 was very pleased with the support Ben provided during a very complicated divorce process. He helped me navigate both the legal and ethical questions that arose in the process, and always offered sound, objective advise. The outcome was a fair settlement that formed the basis of my current 'happily divorced' state. Finally, he provided much valued after-care during the following year, when some of the issues were still rather fresh. I would warmly recommend him for anyone seeking legal council in any family law issues.

To begin with, I strongly believe that 5 stars doesn’t do justice to the exceptional and professional service that Mr. Ben Carrasco provided during my divorce and Child custody case. He is simply the best divorce and custody attorney in Austin! The divorce process is extremely hard and stressful in every way. I knew from my previous divorce case (with the same ex wife) that the whole legal system favors moms vs dads. In most cases, it’s an uphill battle for dads. And one of the biggest challenges involved in a divorce process is finding an aggressive, honest, knowledgeable, ethical, trustworthy, competent and intelligent attorney. Before interviewing Ben, I interviewed many big names/firms, read reviews - they all said what anybody in my situation wanted to hear. After speaking and interviewing so many attorneys in town, it was crystal clear that Ben was different in many important ways. He sounded honest, extremely knowledgeable, compassionate and there were no false promises or rosy pictures from his end.

He was aggressive and attentive from day 1. He works very hard. He always answered my questions within minutes/hours. There was not even a single instance where my email/text has taken a day to get his reply. To my surprise he works late nights/weekends/holidays.

We had our first temporary orders hearing in Feb, 2019 and I was very nervous as I had everything to lose. The stakes were really high. Temporary orders is an important part of the case because what happens there, particularly with regard to custody, can determine what happens at the final trial. I went into the hearing asking for primary custody of my kids. My wife and her lawyer were aggressive in presenting a false picture of me. I was very nervous but Ben was very calm, taking notes and paying attention to every small detail . When our turn came, opposing counsel/witness/ex-wife couldn’t stand Ben’s cross examination. He was brilliant. I was awarded temporary primary custody! A man getting primary in the state of Texas! My ex-wife was ordered to leave the home within few days. Ben was simply outstanding during this hearing.

My ex-wife didn’t stop here. She fired her attorney and hired a new one with a huge number of reviews and appealed the judge’s decision. For the second hearing, her new attorney subpoenaed everyone imaginable ( friends, family, day care staff, teachers, maintenance staff, etc)...the whole community that I knew was in court room. The second hearing lasted two full days. Ben was just brilliant during this process. They had a large number of witnesses and we just had two. The witnesses were no big help in front of Ben’s cross examination skills. Ultimately, the judge gave us 50-50 visitation, a win in my book given what was thrown at me.

I thought this was an end to this legal fight and that my wife would settle for 50-50. But my ex-wife had her own plans. She refused to settle, refused to respond to discovery and generally dragged out the process. Going into final trial, my ex just wanted me to have standard possession. I wanted to keep my 50-50. Final trial was on Monday and Ben’s birthday was on Sunday. He worked whole day and late night on Sunday for final trial. I was again awarded 50-50!

I couldn’t have asked for better representation. My case was very complex.There were false allegations of family Violence, CPS investigations, funds sent to, international bank accounts, involvement of family
members from India and what not...Ben made this stressful journey easy for me. I just didn’t find a brilliant lawyer but a very good friend too.

If I have to sum up Ben Carrasco in a word, it would be ‘Exceptional!’

I highly recommend Ben to handle divorce and other aspects of family law. Ben is professional, organized, tough and doesn’t waste time playing games. Honest with respect to all billing matters. I had a very good experience working with Ben and highly recommend him.

Intelligent, classy, ethical, honest. A true litigator. Ben does not stand for any BS and he does not need to bluff or make empty threats to opposing counsel. Ben has always been available when we need him and is responsive and attentive at all times. He works the facts of the case. No stone is left unturned. He thrives in the courtroom. By the time you need to call a lawyer, you don't want to waste your time or money cutting corners. Just call Ben first and you will not regret it.

I often joked with Ben that he was the best thing about my divorce. That turned out to be true.

I found Ben while searching for "aggressive" divorce lawyers. I am pretty mild mannered so I knew I needed someone who was going to keep me focused with an aggressive mentality and approach. As a man going through a divorce in the great state of Texas, I'll admit, it's pretty terrifying. But Ben is the lawyer that you hope your soon to be ex doesn't hire, because you would never want to go up against this guy in the courtroom.

In a very wild and bitter divorce case that involved every allegation under the sun directed at me, police involvement, and meddling in-laws, this man defended me with grit unlike I've ever seen. My ex-wife's (financially well-off) parents spared no expenses in paying for her part of the divorce. My ex was bent on taking my children away from me.

In my hearing for temporary orders, Ben absolutely embarrassed the opposing attorney. His courtroom demeanor is impeccable. His attention to detail is otherworldly. His ability to recognize and exploit inconsistencies in the testimonies of others is amazing. I ALWAYS felt like I was walking into the courtroom with a lawyer that was ready to fight for me and believed in me. He made so much of a fool out my ex's attorney, that she fired and replaced her's on the spot immediately after the temporary orders hearing.

After that, Ben guided me over the next 3 months leading up to a two day trial. In the meantime, he ensured that my rights were protected during a very peculiar/questionable 4 hour deposition that I was put through and he procured my home and my car for me in mediation.

In the final hearing which was, again, a two day trial over custody and child support, Ben defended me against the testimonies of 5 different witnesses who attempted to paint a picture of me as an uninvolved father and corroborate my ex's story that I was a terrible husband who was both verbally and mentally abusive. I use the word "attempt" because Ben shredded every one of these witnesses' stories to pieces casting considerable doubt on the validity of all of their accusations. He frustrated them with his cross examination, even causing one of them to lash out in a fit of rage and another to turn beet red and sweat profusely. It was vindicating to see their stories crumble under Ben's scrutiny.

In the end Ben got me, A MAN IN THE STATE OF TEXAS, PRIMARY CUSTODY of my children. He also saw that I was awarded decision making rights when it came to my children with his effective arguments he made to the judge. The level of persuasion this man can convey is unparalleled.

Lastly, Ben is honest. He always told me the truth from the beginning, he always kept me up to date, and he never left me hanging through the entire process. He was efficient and fair with billing, which saved me money. I hugged this man, sobbing, outside of the courthouse because he pulled through in a way I never imagined. Ben OVER-DELIVERED in my case. I can't say enough good things about him.

Ben was amazing, and helped me navigate through 2 very difficult times in my life. I highly recommend his legal services

I can not thank Ben enough for assisting me and my family in a very difficult divorce right before the holidays.
After realizing my previous attorney was just too busy with other clients or on vacation to assist me in a timely manner, I hired Ben.
Not 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.
He knocked out the decree within days once we agreed on terms. My divorce came to an end swiftly without going to trial.
He was exceptionally prudent with billing, therefore my expenses overall were reasonable.
I wish I hired him in the beginning. I am grateful I utilized his services in the end. #lifesaver

Working with Ben was a great pleasure. He took the time to ensure he understood every aspect of my case at every turn. Ben was extremely helpful to me in making sure that I understood each and every next step. I was very pleased with the outcome and knew that with Ben's help we left no stone unturned. I would highly recommend Ben Carrasco as your attorney for divorce proceedings.

It is difficult to not echo a lot of the comments you will already read about Ben, however I feel I am doing him an injustice by not doing so. FIrst, have you really ever heard of a client WANTING to write a review for their lawyer?? In my experience, half of the battle is getting ahold of your counsel or feeling that they are operating in your best interest. With Ben that is far from the case. I prefer email since I work so much and Ben would answer all emails in less than 1/2 a day (not trying to set expectations here). When I felt a call was warranted he was quick to return a call and almost always same day. Open communication is important but his attention to detail and professional representation makes me feel good about the entire process. He is there to WIN for you but will also heed your advice if necessary. Ben is a HUMAN that works with you and a complete opposite from the bad name other lawyers give the profession. Ben's hourly fee is completely warranted simply due to the fact that he will only bill you for the time that he spends on your case. It is easy for a lawyer to take advantage of this, but this was not the case. If he did, there would be different types of reviews here. Meet with him, trust your gut and hire the best lawyer in Austin.

Ben was a staunch ally, candid, committed to serving my best interests and kept me informed throughout the divorce proceedings, handling things promptly and representing me with steady conviction. I saw him in action both in the courtroom for a temporary orders hearing as well as in mediation, and he was articulate and moreover sincere.

Ben is smart, and does not pad his bills with gratuitous fees. He works hard --- often responding to emails of mine late at night, or taking calls when I really had a few urgent considerations and needed to communicate with him pronto. He is a good man, and a good attorney.

I recently retained Ben as my attorney in my divorce. I can't say enough positive things about Ben's commitment to me as his client, and his superb professionalism throughout the entire process. He is always very responsive too, expresses empathy but also helped move me past my emotions to the important tasks and interests at hand. And I came to rely on a strong foundation of trust from Ben in all things related to my case. Whenever I am asked for a recommendation for a family law attorney, it will always be Ben Carrasco I will highly recommend!

Ben is an excellent attorney and I would recommend him to everyone. I just got finished with an interstate custody case where my child's father was seeking full custody. Ben was able to not only get the jurisdiction changed to my current state and my child's father dropped his suit, but he also mediated a very good visitation schedule with my daughter's father. His legal writing is superb and he was well prepared for court. He was aggressive the times when he needed to be. Most of our communication took place via email which made it more convenient for me especially since I was over 1200 miles away and it definitely kept the cost down. He is definitely worth more than his rates. He is top notch. Thanks for all of your help Ben! You have been a blessing!

Being my first (and hopefully only) divorce I had no idea what I was doing. The first lawyer I hired was atrocious! He was part of the good ole’ boys club and I got billed when I called him to have him give me a report that he had done nothing in my case (several months strong!): true story. I thought for sure what people say about lawyers must be true…and then I found Ben. Ben was the 8th lawyer I interviewed and he isn’t like other lawyers and that’s a good thing. First of all, Ben is the ultimate professional: knowledgeable, honest, hard working, and straight forward. Ben doesn’t throw faces or provide drama that a client has to manage in addition to their already unfortunate situation. Ben was more prepared than my husband’s lawyer and his arguments were more strategic and effective. There was absolutely nothing easy or straight forward about my case and in the beginning I never thought I’d say this, but my life is better now. Really, I’m telling you: do yourself a favor and just call Ben.

Wow! What a Top Notch Litigator!
Due to unforeseen life circumstances which involved pursuing legal actions against employer among other high ranking officials. I was now embroiled in a divorce property case dispute. After 9 distrusted attorneys whom I terminated. Ben was highly recommended to me by new-comer in my neighborhood.
After subsequently experiencing unethical,dishonest and fraudulent attorneys. I was suspicious and cautious in the reliability of another attorney. I confided in my uncle whom is a well respected retired US Congressman. He advised me to allow my intuition to guide me on hiring an attorney. Upon my initial consultation and observation with Ben. He demonstrated professionalism,confidence,dignity,superb legal intellect and a warrior spirit.
Throughout my case, Ben was ON ALL OCCASIONS available and prompt to respond to emails/phone calls during times that most would consider after hours. I was at ease on disclosing private matters in confidentiality. Ben's consistent patience in explaining the status,details and developments of my case were exceptional. His diligence and meticulousness were evident with his correspondence and motions which were well-written and well-cited. Extremely satisfied with his superior negotiations/communication skills. It was apparent in court that Ben prepares for trail. Ben is a bull dog when confronting non-reasonable individuals. Ben is no push over. When the other side tried to use coercive tactics, Ben powerfully and vigorously spoke up to the court. It was evident when Ben interacted with opposing counsel that Ben steers away from the good ol' boys network which was essential to ease my speculation of wrongdoing.
Ben fought to great extent for me and my child to maintain our homestead while my husband was non compliant and greedy with property division which involved several real estate homes. My daughter and I are extremely grateful for Ben's successful outcome of my case.
Above all, Ben attentiveness to his clients is genuine. I highly recommend Mr. Ben Carrasco for your legal services. I can attest that Ben will aggressively represent you.

Just had the worst phone conversation I've ever had with someone I thought would want to help. Mr. Carrasco was very unpleasant from the beginning of the conversation. His rebuttals towards my simple questions were not welcoming at all. I'm an Austinite and feel we should carry ourselves in a delightful manner. Mr. Carrasco will never represent me, also I will ensure to share my experience with others so they will not have to experience what I experienced today.

My case was a modification to get more time with my kids. I've worked with a lot of lawyers here in Austin, TX. And I've discovered that there is definitely an "old boys club" for lawyers here. Ben operates outside of that club. To other family attorneys in Austin, he is a "dark horse." A definite advantage!

Ben predicted exactly how the case would go in the initial consultation. He didn't sugar-coat. He told me the worst that could happen and the best that I could expect. Then he delivered the best that I could expect -- in mediation, without going to court.
He got to know me and my case, and did all the legwork you'd expect without the cost that I've seen other lawyers charge. He paid attention to the cost of the whole endeavor for me, including getting a less expensive mediator than the one who was first proposed.
I will definitely hire Ben again!

Having an opportunity to get modifications in regards to child custody is a huge challenge for a father, especially in Texas. Ben exceeded expectations and was able to get my ex-wife to compromise what was best for our son. After using another attorney who failed to fully represent me, I searched for a great attorney who would fight for me. I spoke with at least twenty to thirty different personal attorneys during the search. Ben stood out as someone who was honest, straight forward, and would be committed. After hiring him and he took on the case, I felt very comfortable that he was ahead of the game. He quickly began taking steps to get the scales balanced. Ben filed the documents with the specificity I requested and followed up consistently. After getting the judge to agree to extend the hearing date, Ben scheduled a deposition and took to the necessary steps to prepare for the hearing. During the deposition with my ex-wife, he was assertive, professional, and was able to get her to give information that could be used in court. Between the deposition and the scheduled hearing, Ben followed up with any requests and was aggressive when he needed to be. My major concerns were to have my son back in school (no longer home schooled by his mother), being involved in his educational planning, spending more time with him, and having geographical restrictions. All of this was accomplished and Ben always made me feel like we had the upper hand during the case. One of the best things about him, is he is truly honest and will not just tell you what you want to hear. He literally told me multiple times, "you're going to spend more money that way," when it came to some of my impulse ideas. How many attorneys are going to try to save you money? My ex-wife has been one of the toughest people to deal with when it came to child custody, but I truly can relax now and that's because of a great lawyer who made it happen. If you want someone who will support you and get it done, Ben is the guy!

Mr. Carrasco was my fourth lawyer handling my case. I found in him the one who I really needed after the first three lawyers failed to deliver in ten years what Mr. Carrasco was able to achieve in just a few months. First, I was quite pleased with his communication style. He just didn’t just listen, but asked relevant questions and kept me to the point. From the beginning he was passionate and took ownership of the case even when at times I found myself with little time to interact with him. His exhaustive research and preparation showed during the trial. His closing argument was simply brilliant and inspiring. The outcome of the case was even better than I expected, yet from the start I was already pleased by his services for the way he communicated with me. In summary Mr. Carrasco exceeded the already high expectations that I had for a professional of his caliber.

Being my first (and hopefully only) divorce I had no idea what I was doing. The first lawyer I hired was atrocious! He was part of the good ole’ boys club and I got billed when I called him to have him give me a report that he had done nothing in my case (several months strong!): true story. I thought for sure what people say about lawyers must be true…and then I found Ben. Ben was the 8th lawyer I interviewed and he isn’t like other lawyers and that’s a good thing.

First of all, Ben is the ultimate professional: knowledgeable, honest, hard working, and straight forward. Ben doesn’t throw faces or provide drama that a client has to manage in addition to their already unfortunate situation. He also isn’t a lawyer who hides behind a fancy building with lots of support staff fielding interactions with clients: he is, however, responsive and because he doesn’t have the overhead, his rates are VERY reasonable. Don’t get me wrong, the building he is in is nice, you just don’t feel like your payments are going towards the Italian office desks or cork flooring.

In the courtroom Ben was more prepared than my husband’s lawyer and his arguments were more strategic and effective. There was absolutely nothing easy or straight forward about my case and in the beginning I never thought I’d say this, but my life is better now. Really, I’m telling you: do yourself a favor and just call Ben.

I did research before selecting Ben to do my divorce. Unfortunately, it was not my first divorce and I already knew how difficult and prolonged these matters take. I met with other attorneys before I decided that Ben would be the best to help me. His education and experience really appealed to me and I certainly am glad that I chose him. I was a basket case the entire time because I did not want the divorce, so he was forced to listen to phone calls with a crying client many times. He was very patient and just let me get it all out even though , of course these were things that he could not help me with. He then would have me focus back on the case and what we needed to do legally. Even so, he still answered the phone every time and was so attentive to my situation.

When you call Ben he is always there and if not he returns your call within a few minutes. This applies to weekends and evenings. He is on top of everything steering the way to a quick resolution and divorce. He protected me during this process because he could tell that I was a mess. He did an AMAZING job with my outcome and many people are surprised when I tell them the final outcome of my divorce. They really do not believe me because it is so much more than the standard result., I received such an additional amount because Ben did such a wonderful job. He negotiated my needs, and DEMANDED that the other side respond in my favor, while at the same time keeping me out of a long court divorce. My divorce was over very quickly and he wrapped up all of the details just like a pro.
Our divorce had many complicated real estate issues in it and Ben took care of all of them . He added extra documents to make sure that I would not have to pay any taxes now or in the future on what I had been awarded in the divorce. I have grown to really admire and appreciate Ben for everything that he did for me. He is smart, handsome, quiet, so educated and will catch anything that the other side trys to do and throw it back to them in double.
I would tell anyone to use him for their legal matters because in the end you will be so happy that you did. He will take such good care of you because that is just what he does and he does it very well! I have two grown sons just about Ben's age and he protected me like my boys do. In the end I have only great things to say about Ben.

When I saw that my marriage was unsalvageable, I went online to find an attorney. I studied a number of websites, but I really liked what I read on Ben Carrasco's webpage for a number of reasons--his distinguished academic background, impressive work history and other clients' reviews to be sure--but mainly, I liked his straightforward explanation of how he does business.
After he began representing me, what came to impress me most is Ben's work ethic. He worked hard on my case, frequently contacting me at night and on weekends to get my input, clarify facts and ensure he was accurately representing my expectations. When a foolish act on my part complicated what should have been a simple divorce, Ben took that in stride and worked even harder to help get my mess untangled.
On his website, Ben talks about lawyers who are afraid of the courtroom, and he tells you he is not one of them. Believe him. He represented me in an unusual dual hearing, simultaneously taking on a county attorney for one hearing and my spouse's divorce attorney for another. The extent of his preparation in comparison to that of the opposing attorneys was obvious. Ben did a better job of getting ready for the hearings, and because he was ready, he did a superior job of presenting my side of the story logically, clearly and when necessary, forcefully. As a result, the judge's ruling clearly favored my position.
Ben was always up front with me. If I suggested a course of action that made sense to me but was not necessarily a brilliant move from a legal point of view, he let me know, sometimes bluntly, but always with my best interests in mind.
What I learned from my experience is that the legal system speaks a different language. What seemed fair or just or obvious from my point of view was not always what the legal system has determined to be fair or just or obvious. In other words, if you're compelled to use the legal system, you need someone who speaks the language. You need a smart, hardworking, legal-fluent advocate who will ably translate your needs and expectations into the language of the system and who will clearly explain what the system is telling you. Ben Carrasco did just that for me. I'm glad I asked him to represent me, and I feel fortunate that he agreed to take my case.

Ben Carrasco is an outstanding attorney. He worked diligently and intelligently on my behalf in a matter that was both complex and contentious. He was nearly always available to answer my many questions and did so clearly and concisely. I was particularly impressed by his attention to detail and his poise before the court. I quickly became quite myself confident that no matter the issue or obstacle Ben would be well prepared and mentally agile in his approach and practice. I highly recommend Ben for difficult divorce and custody issues.

I have used several attorneys over the years on business related matters, so I have a good basis against which to compare Mr. Carrasco's performance.

I came to Ben with a case that had been ongoing for some time and which needed a top notch litigator to take it to trial. The time to trial was short, a matter of weeks, which made the challenge even greater. That notwithstanding, Ben was exceptional in comprehending and organizing our case and its presentation to the court. On his own, and without my asking, Ben created Exhibits which he presented in court to help the Judge understand the critical elements of our case. I was impressed by that as in the past I had to suggest these things to the attorneys I had used.

At the trial Ben performed with the perfect amount of controlled aggression not letting the Defendants get one over on us while at the same time remaining completely professional and within the rules of decorum of the court. The Defendant and his attorney immediately got the message that we were not going to be pushed around. Ben performed better in court than attorneys with 20 years of experience and believe me, I know, having used those guys and having paid their high fees in the past.

With respect to Ben's fees, I found them entirely reasonable. Additionally, Ben worked with us on the fees as we are by no means wealthy and we pursued the lawsuit on principle rather than expecting a monetary gain from it.

Bottom line: Ben Carrasco cared about our case and more importantly he cared about us personally as he "got it" that we sued the Defendant based on principle and not for money. A lot of lawyers don't seem to care about that, you're just "another case" to them. Not so with Ben,

I highly recommend Ben Carrasco for any legal matter you may have. He's honest, hard working, very knowledgeable, and aggressive in representing you.

Allow me to give you, the reader, a bit of background before I go into Mr. Carrasco's review:

I'm a single father of two children, and we're currently caught up in an interstate custody issue. That being said, custody issues (and family law issues, in general) tend to get complex. They can be very time consuming, costly, and hard on your heart and soul. Now imagine dealing with two courts, two states, and sifting through legislation, family codes, and statutes between both forums. It's a train wreck. Enter: Ben Carrasco.

Early on in my situation, I need a lawyer who could pick up quickly, get up to speed ever quicker, and could be readily attentive at a moment's notice. Mr. Carrasco's response was incredibly fast. I had consulted several attorneys, in both states, and just didn't "get the feeling" until I had spoken to Ben. Being from a family with roots in law practice, I did come in fairly organized. Documentation, accurate expression of events, timelines, etc; This obviously helps any attorney approach your case faster. Ben assembled all facts, prepared the first portions of my case, and had all corresponding laws, statutes, and references at an impressive speed.

Both times, thus far in court, his presentation was confident, precise, and backed by facts. In my experience with lawyers, I can easily call this guy a "heavy hitter." His primary concern has been, and continues to be, the welfare of the children. If you're looking for an attorney that is going to give you fluff, or blow sunshine up your skirt, Mr. Carrasco is most likely NOT the attorney for you. He deals in facts, hard evidence, and logic. His honesty and professionalism doesn't afford him the luxury of giving you false expectations or hopes. You'll always know what needs to be done, what is expected, and which angles to approach.

Truthfully, I'm still in the middle of my battle, and the case isn't concluded yet, but even if I were to lose my case, I can tell you with the utmost confidence that I am genuinely impressed with Ben's performance, attitude, and his flexibility. He's taken plenty of time after hours to assist me in an emergency, questions, or filings. He knows I'm not a man who really comes from money, and has been very flexible with that, as well. Most of us would much rather not have such expenses in our lives, but there comes a time, for some of us, when you've got to put up a fight for the well being of your loved ones. If that becomes the case, make sure you hire a heavy hitter, Like Ben Carrasco. I hope this review helps you, and good luck in fighting the good fight.
