I used John Benson to draft a complaint for my mother's estate. He was very responsive, explained the process, and most importantly, delivered products when he said he would. Solid experience all around.

Greg penglase is a complete waste of a human being. Full of himself, never follows through with what he says, and doesn't understand when he's been removed from a case. I literally had a judge remove penglase from my case in 2013.penglase kept showing up to court as my "attorney ". I had to keep telling the judge that penglase was removed off my case 3 times. That I was not willing to talk to penglase, let alone look at him. That I didn't trust penglase in any way

Response from owner

Hi Christine, We take feedback seriously, especially when it involves strong concerns like the ones you’ve shared. After reviewing our records, we were unable to locate any communication or case activity associated with you since 2013. Given that this was approximately 13 years ago, we have not had any recent contact or opportunity to address anything further with you. If there had been any issue at the time, our standard practice would have been to address it directly and, if requested, assign a different attorney within the firm. We always want clients to feel comfortable and properly represented. My name is John Benson, and I am one of the partners here at Penglase & Benson. I would genuinely welcome the opportunity to better understand the details of what you’re describing. If you would like to discuss this further, please feel free to email me at your convenience at jtbenson@penglaseandbenson.com. I am more than willing to look into this thoroughly and resolve any outstanding concerns.

I retained Penglase for possession of a small amt of marijuana charge. He took $6k for the case and I was offered exactly what the DA offered me without representation and then proceeded to never complete his job of filing expungement paperwork that I paid for him to file. $6k later and still can’t use my teaching degree from Temple. Useless former DA/solicitor, taking poor peoples money and not do his job typical typical

John Benson was an incredible advocate for a dear friend of mine, the widow of a fallen soldier, who was facing the loss of her home. John showed deep compassion and patience throughout a very difficult time. He took the time to answer all of our questions and always responded quickly to calls and emails. Most importantly, he went above and beyond to ensure she received the legal help she needed to remain in her home. John is a wonderful supporter of our Veterans and their families, and his dedication, kindness, and professionalism truly stand out. We can't thank him enough for the care and respect he showed every step of the way!

Mr. Benson has been a Hail Mary to my zoning issue in Lower Southhampton Township. Any other lawyer would’ve denied the case and dismissed the case as a lost cause. Mr. Benson did his absolute best to defend me in every possible way and did a damn good job of it. I cannot thank him enough.
