Attorney Michael Bender has represented me excellently. Throughout the more than seven plus years he has represented me with regard to a Bankruptcy, Divorce, Child Custody & Support, Separation and Property Settlement, he has been extremely thorough, competent and "forceful" in his due diligence, presentation and representation on my behalf. When I have been angry, impatient and irrational, he has been "calm, cool and patiently in control" of both the situation and me. He has negotiated and controlled the progress of the entire endeavor with unusual skill, accuracy, patience and professionalism. Because of his integrity, skills and professionalism, I have and will continue to depend upon and recommend Mr. Michael E. Bender, Esq., to whomever I have contact with that has need for legal counsel/services within his law practice area of expertise.

Michael was kind enough to answer my questions the way an attorney should answer questions; fairly, honestly and to the point! No games or gimmicks. Have a difficult transition in my life, and needed honest answers and now have the knowledge I need to take care of my situation. It's nice to know other people are out there who understand this. I really appreciate your help. Although my situation is a simple one, it saves me tons of money that I just don't have to spend right now.

I used Bender and Associates for a past divorce and had a great experience. I needed an Attorney that was knowledgeable with DFAS and with Military retirement, child support, spousal support and custody. If you are a military spouse it is very important that you choose an Attorney that knows the system. Bender and Associates, Michael Bender was very professional and goes above and beyond for his clients. I highly recommend Bender and Associates.

My family and I will forever be thankful for Michael Bender and Associates. He has worked long and hard on my case and was successful.. Every case will have its ups and downs, but I knew right after I met Michael Bender, he would be the one to get me where I wanted to be. He was professional and honest and kept in touch with me and replied to every voicemail I left and addressed every concern with his most honest opinion. I have and always will appreciate working with Bender and will recommend him to anyone. He absolutely made my children TOP priority and helped me voice it. I couldn't have done all that he did on my own. Thank you Michael Bender and Associates

My case was complicated, move away parent against a stay-at-home mom who wasn't focused on the well being of our daughter and had every excuse in the book. Over 2 yrs of hearings and declarations came down to a 3 day trial which at the end was won. Mr. Bender remained steadfast and dedicated to my case and definitely proved she was not the better parent. Due to the facts presented and the way they were presented the judgment also stood up on appeal. Highly recommended.

If you have to step in and speak for yourself to a judge with an attorney by your side...and then the judge honors your request.....well why would you hire this attorney? Not aggressive, still a newbie dont use Bender and Bender if you have a complex case or if you are a military wife. This office will favor your ex if they are military...military protect their own syndrome.

When I have been angry, impatient and irrational, he has been "calm, cool and patiently in control" of both the situation and me. He has negotiated and controlled the progress of the entire endeavor with unusual skill, accuracy, patience and professionalism. Because of his integrity, skills and professionalism, I have and will continue to depend upon and recommend Mr. Michael E. Bender, Esq., to whomever I have contact with that has need for legal counsel/services within his law practice area of expertise.

Michael was kind enough to answer my questions the way an attorney should answer questions; fairly, honestly and to the point! No games or gimmicks. Have a difficult transition in my life, and needed honest answers and now have the knowledge I need to take care of my situation. It's nice to know other people are out there who understand this. I really appreciate your help. Although my situation is a simple one, it saves me tons of money that I just don't have to spend right now.

I used Bender and Associates for a past divorce and had a great experience. I needed an Attorney that was knowledgeable with DFAS and with Military retirement, child support, spousal support and custody. If you are a military spouse it is very important that you choose an Attorney that knows the system. Bender and Associates, Michael Bender was very professional and goes above and beyond for his clients. I highly recommend Bender and Associates.

My family and I will forever be thankful for Michael Bender and Associates. He has worked long and hard on my case and was successful.. Every case will have its ups and downs, but I knew right after I met Michael Bender, he would be the one to get me where I wanted to be. He was professional and honest and kept in touch with me and replied to every voicemail I left and addressed every concern with his most honest opinion. I have and always will appreciate working with Bender and will recommend him to anyone. He absolutely made my children TOP priority and helped me voice it. I couldn't have done all that he did on my own. Thank you Michael Bender and Associates

My case was complicated, move away parent against a stay-at-home mom who wasn't focused on the well being of our daughter and had every excuse in the book. Over 2 yrs of hearings and declarations came down to a 3 day trial which at the end was won. Mr. Bender remained steadfast and dedicated to my case and definitely proved she was not the better parent. Due to the facts presented and the way they were presented the judgment also stood up on appeal. Highly recommended.

If you have to step in and speak for yourself to a judge with an attorney by your side...and then the judge honors your request.....well why would you hire this attorney? Not aggressive, still a newbie dont use Bender and Bender if you have a complex case or if you are a military wife. This office will favor your ex if they are military...military protect their own syndrome.

He was professional and honest and kept in touch with me and replied to every voicemail I left and addressed every concern with his most honest opinion. I have and always will appreciate working with Bender and will recommend him to anyone. He absolutely made my children TOP priority and helped me voice it. I couldn't have done all that he did on my own. Thank you Michael Bender and Associates

Mike is a great, knowledgeable and experienced attorney. He represented me and is a second generation lawyer. I would recommend him to anyone for his calm competence and courtroom manner.

My case was complicated, move away parent against a stay-at-home mom who wasn't focused on the well being of our daughter and had every excuse in the book. Over 2 yrs of hearings and declarations came down to a 3 day trial which at the end was won. Mr. Bender remained steadfast and dedicated to my case and definitely proved she was not the better parent. Due to the facts presented and the way they were presented the judgment also stood up on appeal. Highly recommended.

If you have to step in and speak for yourself to a judge with an attorney by your side...and then the judge honors your request.....well why would you hire this attorney? Not aggressive, still a newbie dont use Bender and Bender if you have a complex case or if you are a military wife. This office will favor your ex if they are military...military protect their own syndrome.

Attorney Michael Bender has represented me excellently. Throughout the more than seven plus years he has represented me with regard to a Bankruptcy, Divorce, Child Custody & Support, Separation and Property Settlement, he has been extremely thorough, competent and "forceful" in his due diligence, presentation and representation on my behalf. When I have been angry, impatient and irrational, he has been "calm, cool and patiently in control" of both the situation and me. He has negotiated and controlled the progress of the entire endeavor with unusual skill, accuracy, patience and professionalism. Because of his integrity, skills and professionalism, I have and will continue to depend upon and recommend Mr. Michael E. Bender, Esq., to whomever I have contact with that has need for legal counsel/services within his law practice area of expertise.

Michael was kind enough to answer my questions the way an attorney should answer questions; fairly, honestly and to the point! No games or gimmicks. Have a difficult transition in my life, and needed honest answers and now have the knowledge I need to take care of my situation. It's nice to know other people are out there who understand this. I really appreciate your help. Although my situation is a simple one, it saves me tons of money that I just don't have to spend right now.

I used Bender and Associates for a past divorce and had a great experience. I needed an Attorney that was knowledgeable with DFAS and with Military retirement, child support, spousal support and custody. If you are a military spouse it is very important that you choose an Attorney that knows the system. Bender and Associates, Michael Bender was very professional and goes above and beyond for his clients. I highly recommend Bender and Associates.
