I was referred to her and since the day of my consultation she was very confident. Kelsey is effective and thorough. Her or her assistant respond back to you in a timely manner. When a phone call is needed you are scheduled and she makes the time to speak with you. She provides constant reassurance. She gives insight and guides you, but still allowing you the freedom to make your own decisions. She is caring and passionate about her work. She is confident when she speaks and regardless of the situation she is powerful and believes and wants everything you do as her client. I’m so thankful for Kelsey. I truly would not have gotten through my drama filled case without her. She has put my mind at ease numerous time and because of the trust I had in her I know she did everything she could for me and more. I’m happy with my final documents and I know that if I ever had to modify I would hire Kelsey again in a heart beat.Benjamin legal and its entirety was great and so supportive.Mersadez SanchezMersadez Sanchez ★★★★★ It has been a pleasure working with Attorney Kelsey and her assistant. She answered every question I had and addressed all my concerns in a timely manner. As devastating as my situation was, I was thankful to have Benjamin Law by my side through it all.Makamae TamMakamae Tam ★★★★★ After 12 years of a coparenting relationship, my child's father decided our long standing custody agreement did not work for him any longer, and I found myself in the beginning of a very stressful expensive dispute. I am so grateful for Sophie at Benjamin Legal. She has been so strong and powerful, she has met my nervousness and the emotional roller coaster of the loom of a custody case with compassion and a real understanding of how to meet our families needs. I hired Benjamin Legal based on a recommendation. I was admittedly worried about using Sophie on my case because Kelsey was spoken so highly of. I am also a high-strung person (especially when it comes to my kiddo) and Sophie is so calm and laid back, I was worried she wouldn't be "aggressive" enough if I am being honest. However, over the last few months she has proven me so wrong, her laid back personality shines and I love her push back in a very humble way! She can stand up for our family in such a powerful and elegant manner. She has been the calming voice within my storm. Facing up against my child's father and his "aggressive" deminer lawyer is made bearable because Sophie is in our corner. Every question I send her is met with detailed answers, and I feel she truly cares about the well-being of my kiddo. Anyway, I am so grateful for Sophie, and Greg he is wonderful too!-Bethanybethany Draimebethany Draime ★★★★★ Worked with several attorney's through Benjamin Legal over a few years. They were all professional, extremely responsive, supportive and assisted me to maintain positive outlook through my legal struggles. Kelsey specifically was amazing and even an emotional support when things got difficult through my divorce. She was able to give me plenty of resources, and has always responded quickly when reaching out. I highly recommend using Benjamin Legal.Dr. Julia GunthnerDr. Julia Gunthner ★★★★★ I can't say enough about how incredible Sophie was during my divorce! From the moment we began working together.. she was attentive, professional, and genuinely cared about my well-being. She guided me through every step of the process with clarity and compassion, making what could have been a stressful situation feel much more manageable. Her knowledge of the law and dedication to my case was beyond impressive, and she consistently went above and beyond to get the best possible outcome for me.Sophie represented a number my friends while she was practicing in Denver, and has since moved to Phoenix. I recommend her to everyone I know, and here on Google, that anyone in the Phoenix area searching for family legal counsel through a sensitive time in your life, they can look no further than Sophie Altman at Benjamin Legal. Her expertise and support truly changed my life for the better, and I’m forever grateful to have had her by my side during such a pivotal time. Thank you Sophie!Nicolette DollNicolette Doll ★★★★★ I found Kelsey through my work’s assistance program when it came to finally getting custody/legal paperwork done with my ex over our son (very drama filled situation with a lot of moving parts).I can’t say enough about her. From our consultation to moving forward with all the court/legal paperwork she was informative, confident and most importantly involved; taking and returning any of my emails/calls personally.She genuinely cared and was passionate about getting the results that I not only wanted but that she saw were clearly needed for my situation. She always had a plan B or C up her sleeve if plan A didn’t work out.Not only did we get a resolution that I was happy with, but she was also there and ready if I needed to retain her again after paperwork time frame was coming to a close (years later). Again, she was ready with a game plan if I needed her.Thank you Kelsey (again) so much for making an incredibly stressful time in my life a lot better to manage.Lauren SmithLauren Smith ★★★★★ I really had a wonderful experience with Kelsey and Benjamin Legal, PC. I was ending a marriage that was the equivilent of a Lifetime Movie. Because it was a 25 year marriage, I knew I just wanted out and to do that I would have to give him half of everything.
