Experience

  • US Attorney at George Benna Law
    Apr 2024 - Present · 2 yrs 3 mos

    Specializing in residential, construction, and tenancy law, I have effectively represented and defended clients in complex disputes, consistently securing favorable outcomes and significant settlements. My recent accomplishments include achieving a $22,000 settlement in a residential construction and insurance matter, successfully mitigating a $25,000 fee for a client facing tenancy violation allegations, and defending another client against an $8,000 tenancy claim. I also handle contractor disputes, property damage claims, and insurance-related conflicts, offering strategic resolution pathways that avoid costly litigation. I bring a results-driven approach to property management, construction, and tenancy issues, combining legal precision with practical insight tailored to each client’s unique needs and circumstances.
