Benjamin Okin is not only a great lawyer, he is a great guy. Ben came to my rescue after I put myself in an embarrassing legal situation involving the illegal distribution of cannabis. He met me in jail, arranged the most beneficial plea bargain possible given the circumstances, and years later worked with me to help me successfully get the charges reduced and then expunged from my permanent record. During each one of our interactions Ben took the time to hear me out, carefully explained all of my options, and then followed through with what we decided was the best course of action promptly and skillfully. Placing my trust in Ben Okin attorney at law was one of the best decisions I ever made and I recommend his legal services unreservedly. read more

Ben is extremely talented, reliable, and there for you every step of the way! Recommended 100%.

If you need a great lawyer who will make sure you get the best possible outcome go with Mr.Okin I promise you will not regret it. My highest recommendations go to Mr. Okin. It was my first time ever in a criminal court setting and god willing the last. When I first heard the charges and experienced jail and the system that is in place. I truly felt hopeless, like I was alone facing the dragon metaphorically speaking. After getting ahold of Ben he immediately made me feel like I was in good hands, really easy to talk to like a friend I could confide in, Ben made me feel very comfortable. Once I got ahold of him I felt like we were in this together he was my teammate, my QB, and my defensive line. He was extremely well versed with the inner workings of the law and guaranteed me that he wouldn't let me go down without a fight. And I can guarantee with all my faith that he will do the same for you. From the start of the case facing felony charges he made feel heard and understood. Even with all the fear I had to deal with there was not a single moment where I didn't trust Mr. Okin's knowledge or judgment in handling my case. He brought me to safety through all the odds and outcomes. I am forever grateful. Best lawyer around read more

What an excellent experience! Ben defended me vigorously, and the outcome he achieved surpassed my expectations. He was professional, transparent, and made himself available to answer all my questions. I would happily recommend his services to anyone in my situation. Ben is a former DA and knows the ins-and-outs of the legal system here in Humboldt County. He is well-recognized and has a few high-profile successes defending people in difficult situations, which is why I chose him; and, he did not disappoint. His confidence, reassuring demeanor, and expertise helped to allay my concerns, and he was able to achieve an outcome that was better than the one I was hoping for. Hopefully I won't be needing another defense attorney anytime soon, but if I do, Mr. Okin will be at the top of my list. read more

Benjamin Okin isn't your typical attorney. When I called, his assistant gave me a number to text him when he was on vacation, and he made time to talk to me the next day. Contrast this to my other inquiries in Humboldt County in which a receptionist asked me many questions and either referred me to a website or called me several days later to decline my situation. Benjamin communicates with compassion, knowledge and clear questions. He responded to every text we exchanged with a 'thumbs up' and even asked me to follow-up if I didn't hear from him within the week. My experience with Benjamin Okin is that he is motivated to help people within their means and situation, and he will direct you to the best resources available, even if it doesn't pay him. If I need an attorney in the future, my first call will be to Benjamin. When I had a mess to sort out, Benjamin helped me find a solution with clarity, integrity, honesty, and responsiveness. Thank you! read more

Best attorney in Humboldt County. We contacted Ben's office, he responded quickly to our case, he has the best team too. Rest assured if Ben takes your case, he will do anything possible to get the best outcome. If it hadn't been for Ben's attention to detail in our case, we wouldn't have gotten the outcome we got which was the best outcome we could've asked for. We had the best experience with Ben and his whole team, as every time I needed to talk to him he made himself available and he always listened and never rushed any of our conversations and made sure we understood everything as he takes his time explaining everything in detail. Ben is very professional, non-judgmental, humbled, caring, and treats you like family. read more

Mr. Okin has my upmost support and gratitude for what was a very unfortunate time in my life. I've never been in a situation where legal services were needed, so I had no idea what to expect, and Mr. Okin was caring, thorough, efficient, and direct in walking me through this process. His services were worth the cost based on his ability to take the stress and work off my shoulders, and was able to do all the heavy lifting for me. Very rarely have I seen someone work with such levels of efficiency and rigor, while equally compassionate and trustworthy. Even the little things, such as leaving each phone conversation with "Just keep taking care of yourself," did not go unnoticed. I can't thank Mr. Okin enough for helping me through this, and I owe him a debt of gratitude. If you are searching for legal services, I strongly recommend that your search stops here. read more
