I contracted Ben Hamlet in the hopes of resolving a four year divorce nightmare. Mission accomplished! Ben is calm under pressure and his integrity is second to none. He never sugar coated issues and was very passionate and dedicated in representing me and obtaining my goals. I would highly recommend him especially with any difficult divorce cases. Thank You!

Ben Hamlet helped me out of a pretty tough ticket and did it so smoothly and was extremely helpful. He was very thorough with what he was looking for and getting all the details. I would most defiantly suggest Ben Hamlet as an attorney you should hire.

Mr. Hamlet helped guide me through one of the most difficult times in my life. Divorce is not a very pleasant experience, but he was very thorough, aggressive, and kept me informed during the entire process. My ex-wife wanted a ridiculous amount of child support and all of the equity in the house. Mr. Hamlet did a tremendous job and my wife actually received less than I had previously offered her. If you’re going through a divorce, call Mr. Hamlet.

I started off with my wife lying and got full custody of my kids, put me in jail and my wife had a protective order that kicked me out of my house so I had to pay for that house and a different place for me and my other kids to live. Mr Hamlet got everything turned around. I have my house back, my kids full custody, and the jail time/ protect order dissolved. He was always there for me with the truth, not telling me just what he thinks I wanted to hear. I will tell all my friends and co workers about him.

Ben was able to help me get primary physical custody of my children and a termination in the child support obligations! Throughout the process he always had a way of calming my stress and anxiety and stepping in when needed to guide in the proper direction. Highly recommended!

From the onset, Ben Hamlet understood my specific needs in my recent divorce. He explained the legal process clearly and quickly went to work for me. I highly recommend him.

I got caught doing 92 in a 55 and 87 in a 55. I have CDL and knew I was going to lose my license if I was convicted. Virginia Beach Judges don't play with speeding. Over 80 and you could go to jail. I hired Ben for both cases and he got me awesome results. The first case was dismissed and the second case was reduce from reckless driving to speeding. I was able to keep my CDL and stay out of jail. Ben know his way around the courtroom. All of my friends that recommended him to me call him Ben Matlock. I now know why!

Mr. Hamlet helped navigate me through a very difficult time in my life when it seemed like everything was crumbling around me. I was facing an attempted murder charge and I was scared out of my mind. After my initial consultation with him, I knew he was going to fight for me and that he had the knowledge and skills to help me beat the case. Mr. Hamlet was always prepared. He quickly returned my phone calls and responded to my emails. I highly recommend Mr. Hamlet. Thanks to him I now have my life back together and have a very successful career.
