Have you consulted or hired this lawyer?
Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.The entire group at Bennett Law, LLC was outstanding. Margaret and her team walked me through the entire process fully explaining each and every step in the process. I felt well taken care of and in good hands through the entire process. I would definitely recommend Bennett Law to friends and family. My case was definitely not the largest, but you would never know it from the care and professionalism I received. I give them an "A+" in all categories.
Margaret Bennett provides outstanding service and support. Margaret clearly knows and understands family law. She willingly spends time to communicate and explore options, provide her guidance and supports the final decision. She is highly sensitive to the needs of family and children. She keeps all parties informed and is quick to respond to questions and needs, as does her very professional staff. Above all, Margaret maintains her compassion for the human element of the legal process.

I retained Margaret Bennett and Bennett Law Firm, LLC to handle my divorce in 2014. I immediately felt at ease. She was understanding, and immediately understood the direction we needed to go. She and her team are professional, efficient and knowledgeable. I understood what was going on every step of the way. I would not hesitate to recommend Margaret Bennett and her firm. She and her team know how to get things done fairly, efficiently, and are very responsive to their client. Many thanks!
Avoid M. Bennett to represent you in a divorce. Ms. Bennett stated prior experience in my situation during interview although didn’t demonstrate experience after hiring. Also made inaccurate statements to opposing counsel. Disappointing to say the least. Again, avoid is recommendation here.
