Law Office of Ben Carrasco, PLLC

Absolutely, hands down, the best family lawyer in Austin. I cannot thank Ben enough for assisting me in a very difficult child custody case. He is honest, articulate, and really cares about his clients. I feel fortunate to have had him on my side through a difficult custody battle. When I started my search, I visited websites of many attorneys and it almost seemed like an impossible task when every website seemingly look the same. But just after spending few minutes on Ben’s website, I knew right away that I found an attorney who would be able to help me. I was really impressed by his straightforward explanation of how he does business, his credentials, and reviews from other clients. I ultimately decided on Ben after speaking with him. Ben worked very hard on my case. He takes that extra level of care when you need it most, responding to emails and phone at night and on the weekends. This was very much appreciated. In my case, my ex-wife’s attorney used dirty & unethical tactics but Ben handled it with impressive aplomb. Ben did a superb job of presenting the facts in the courtroom. The extent of Ben’s preparation in comparison to that of the opposing attorney was obvious during the hearing. His courtroom performance is unparalleled. Ben is a good man and a phenomenal attorney. While I realize I was not his only client, he made me feel like I was. I was impressed by his confidence and obvious capability to handle anything that was thrown at him. Ben was responsive, timely, aggressive when needed, and throughout the whole process, I knew I was in good hands. While this was one of the toughest things I've gone through, I could not be more grateful for the results I got through Ben. Thank you so much, Ben.

Ben was absolutely amazing, to say the least. I came to him in a frenzy after getting ghosted by a different lawyer that I ended up reporting to the board. He was eager to pick up my case right where it was left off at. He’s sharp & quick witted. He doesn’t over promise and is a realist. He’s also very responsive. Watching him in action is a beautiful thing. He’s worth every penny! The piece that completely sets Ben apart from the rest is his focus on the client. I never imagined I would have such attentive service from a lawyer, honestly. Thank you for everything, Ben! Your representation helped me get through this process nearly stress free!

Ben was great to work with through my divorce and always responded promptly with any questions I had. He was extremely professional and knowledgeable.

Ben Carrasco is an excellent and attentive attorney. He defended the enforcement of a pro se settlement agreement at my hearing flawlessly. The day before, he got a continuance hearing dismissed - which is difficult to do. He is sharp and concise but also thorough and relevant in his delivery and defense of the facts. His logical approach, evidence based offensive style and understanding of the law can't be beat. He managed my situation perfectly without compromise. I was impressed by his presentation and preparation of my case to the judge and I'm grateful for his very professional and value added representation. Don't look any further than Ben Carrasco!

I give him 1000 stars!!!! Ben changed my life. He may not realize it, but because of him, my divorce went as smoothly as I could have ever imagined. I have 5 minor children, and I could never repay him for what he did to improve their lives forever! If you are like me, just reading through reviews of lawyers you have never heard of... scared, exhausted, and hoping to find someone that can work for what you really want and deserve, please read this!! I found Ben on a Google search for Austin lawyers, and read the reviews on him -- the reviews were amazing and seemed more genuine than the other lawyers I researched. I looked through his website and could see the passion he has for helping people through divorce, and helping them understand their situation and the reality of what is possible. I met with 4 other lawyers before talking to Ben, and it didn't seem like they could fully grasp some unique circumstances about my situation. I was also routed through people at the front desk of law firms, passed to not-the-main-lawyer, basically treated as a random guy getting a divorce. Ben was different. I emailed him about my situation, it was time-sensitive and he was out of town at a conference, but he responded immediately, late at night. He said that he would look into it for me. Early the next morning he had already corresponded with the opposing lawyer and gave me some advice on what to do. I had not even hired him yet, had a consultation or anything, and he was already working. Not only working, but the way he was able to ask me pointed questions and instantly grasp the nuances of my case, was beyond satisfying. I would explain things to him from my perspective, and he could perfectly communicate it to the other lawyer and add a force to it that I can only describe as making me feel heard and protected. From that moment, and for an entire year after that, my case took many twists and turns, and I felt that every second Ben was on top of it, handling everything perfectly. There were many times that I would suggest ideas, propose solutions, and try to guide things in a certain direction. He would always respond immediately, with thoughtful feedback and criticism where necessary. He told me tough things I needed to hear, but did it with compassion and always with a goal to help my children. I needed him to respond to me in the way he did, with clarity, force and confidence about the facts, the process, the system, just everything. My case did have to go to a trial for temporary orders, which was 4 hours in the courtroom, complete with being on the witness stand and everything. I will never be able to fully explain in writing what Ben was like in the courtroom -- but please understand -- he destroyed the other lawyer! I read that he was good in court, but when I saw him in front of the judge, I could not believe how effective he was!!! I didn't understand how important each specific lawyer's way of acting in the courtroom is, but they are all so different, and Ben is, by far, the best. Leading up to the trial, he rehearsed with me in person what he would ask me and what the other lawyer would ask me, and helped me communicate as clearly as possible. In the real trial, when he stood up to give his opening statement, it was so well prepared, so confident, so comprehensive, that it probably sealed the deal right then and there. It is a very intimidating environment to walk into a courtroom and know that your future is in the hands of a judge, but having someone as brilliant, articulate, aggressive, and compassionate as Ben completely put me at ease. He will not be out-prepared or out-performed by another lawyer! Oh, and after my trial, the opposing lawyer quit the case and withdrew himself!! Yes, Ben was that much better than him. Ben Carrasco went above and beyond in so many ways, and made my life and the lives of my children better than I could have hoped for when this all started. I will never forget what he did for me, and I hope he is able to do the same for you. Thank you Ben!!!!
