About

I took an oath in 1994 to provide my clients with zealous representation. I take that oath seriously. The bottom line is that I fight. I do not back down. I do not bluff. I have no fear of taking a case to trial. I give my clients straight advice. I do not use fancy twenty-five dollar words on my website or in person. I do not pressure a client to take a "deal" he tells me he doesn't want to take. I am a trial lawyer. I defend ordinary human beings who are scared, alone and up against the formidable wealth and resources of the government. I am a firm supporter of the 2nd Amendment Right to Keep and Bear Arms.  I have been a National Rifle Association Life Member since June 22, 1993.  My practice is additoinally focused in firearms law to include education, purchase denials, criminal defense in self defense situations and domestic violence prosecutions.

Having now dealt with multiple attorneys I have experienced the “good, bad, nd ugly” of the court system and what is needed in regards to representation. This one is by far the best one I’ve worked with. I felt confident in his ability to handle a trial, though we didn’t end up needing one. He understands situations from both a legal and personal level, and fights the “big guns” with ease. Solid investment.

I was attacked and used a pistol in self-defense. I was again victimized by my own government and falsely accused of felony menacing. Steve had to overcome a shoddy police investigation, inappropriate judicial conduct and prosecutorial misconduct to get a NOT GUILTY verdict, but he got the job done. He is a pit bull! Steve, I am forever in your debt! God bless!

Benson knew how to fight for my case and what would work. His knowledge of the legal system, and eye for the truth makes him invaluable. For a realistic and honest lawyer, look no further.

Stephen was very professional and helpful to guide myself and family through the DHS process when anonymous reports are made. It is scarey how much power this organization has and having some one knowledgeable is critical to protect your family. Our investigation was closed quickly fortunately, but I would highly recommmend Stephen Benson to help handle this very difficult situation.

Mr. Benson is a very recommended attorney. My DHS case was weird; however, Mr. Benson gave me knowledgeable advice and was honest the whole way. Always contacted me with updated information and defiantly informative on next steps as well procedures. He won my case, and I would recommend him over any attorney.

Mr. Benson handled a DHS case for me, he is a very good educated attorney, kept me informed at all times, was on top of my case attentive to the case very well, gives very good advise in what should be done correctly, he won my case. I am very grateful to have had Mr. Benson as my attorney, I would recommend him to everyone.

Mr. Benson was my attorney for a very confusing case. He went above and beyond, did research about possible steps to take as well as the outcomes for these steps. He explained everything to me to where i knew exactly what was going on every step of the way. Mr. Benson always asked what i wanted to do throughout the entire case, and did as i have requested. He looked out for what was going to help ke and did a great job of guiding me throu the case. I have never met another attorney that works as hard and effective as Mr. Benson did for me and my daughter. I can say without a doubt, that you would not regret the decision to hire Mr. Benson.

Mr. Benson was my attorney during a recent DHS case. He fought for what I wanted and always kept me informed. He never made decisions without consulting with me first, and he was very honest regarding possible outcomes. Mr. Benson always went above and beyond to make sure that I was not only legally taken care of, but he was there for me emotionally as well, which is a trait extremely difficult to find in lawyers (honestly his compassion was my favorite part) In the end, DHS dropped their case, and I was awarded full custody of my child. I highly recommend Stephen D. Benson as an attorney, as I am confident that he will continue to fight for his clients.

After searching for an attorney for months, we found Mr. Benson. In only a weeks notice of our court date to pursue custody of my Fiances new baby boy. In this weeks time he made it possible to present a wonderful case to win custody! The new baby boy will be home with daddy this friday. Thank you for making our family complete.

After having 5 lawyers in another state that would do nothing to help us, I had given up on finding a (Good Lawyer). Stephen Benson provided to me that there is at least one good lawyer in the world! In a 5 inch court record book we gave to Stephen, he is the only lawyer that found that a Social Worker lied in court against my daughter. I was in awe of him. I was in tears for sure! That turned everything around for our case! We new we were good people but the other courts made us fell like criminals. Stephen helps us know what to say in court. I have learned from 5 years in court in the other state. If you do not know the correct words to say in court you are lose! You have to know how to play their game! We had no idea. He lead us through every step of the way. Stephen is the only lawyer in the world that I would recommend to people ( in all of the world)! Prove that he did a wonderful job. My granddaughter is now 15. She is happy, health, and a normal teenager. She wants to be a doctor in the future. This last year she had a grade point average of 3.5. Not bad at all!
