Benson Defense Law, PLLC

08/11/2026

Legal skills can be taught. Genuine care doesn’t come from a script.

Treating my clients like human beings—not case numbers—isn’t a strategy I learned in a law school class. Empathy and the drive to truly understand someone’s story are simply part of who I am.

Understanding your side is where a real defense begins.

When I opened Benson Defense Law, I knew I was building something different.

In Escambia County, there are dozens of attorneys who handle criminal cases — only a fraction focus exclusively on criminal defense.

Fewer have spent their entire careers standing beside the accused rather than prosecuting them.

And fewer than a handful of firms are solely woman-owned and operated, dedicated exclusively to criminal defense.

What makes Benson Defense Law different?

⚖️ 10+ years dedicated exclusively to criminal defense

⚖️ 75+ jury trials

⚖️ Former Federal Public Defender

⚖️ Former Public Defender in Escambia County and Palm Beach County

⚖️ Defended thousands. Prosecuted none.

⚖️ Criminal defense only

⚖️ Solely woman-owned and operated

⚖️ Limited caseloads and individualized representation

I didn't open this firm to be the biggest.

I opened it to provide the kind of representation I would want for my own family.

Deliberate. Strategic. Personal.

Social media is being used in criminal investigations far more often than most people realize.

Instagram. Snapchat. Facebook. TikTok.

I have personally handled gun cases where social media became the centerpiece of the prosecution’s evidence. No traffic stop. No search warrant. No firearm recovered — just screenshots of posts the person charged had placed online themselves.

I have also handled cases where law enforcement created undercover accounts and sent follow requests to gain access to private content.

If your account is public, no warrant is needed to view it.

The Fourth Amendment protects people from unreasonable searches — but courts have ruled that once you share content with followers, your expectation of privacy becomes very limited. Once someone has access, that information can reach law enforcement.

It is not just fi****ms either. Investigators use location tags, timestamps, captions, comments, and items visible in the background of photos and videos.

A few tips:

— Keep your accounts private
— Vet who you accept online
— Think before you post
— Never post weapons if you have a felony record

What you post can become evidence in court — sometimes without you ever knowing investigators were watching.

A few years ago, I took on a case in the Serious Crimes Division in Palm Beach County that I will never forget.

My client was charged with four counts of Attempted First Degree Murder with a Firearm. The State had offered a substantial prison sentence. But from day one, my client looked me in the eye and told me he was innocent.

I believed him. I set the case for trial.

Then I got to work.

I spent an entire weekend reviewing endless hours of surveillance footage — frame by frame. Eventually, I identified the actual shooter and tracked their movements throughout the video.

It was not my client.

I brought that evidence to the Chief Felony Prosecutor and demonstrated why the discovery established my client’s innocence.

The State agreed. The case was nolle prossed.

My client walked out of jail that same day — a free man.

This is why it matters who you hire.

Hire an attorney who will relentlessly scour the discovery.

A real defense starts with a real connection — an attorney who shows up in person, throughly reviews the discovery with the client, and truly listens before critical decisions are made.

Evidence can be preserved. Witnesses can be identified. Defense strategy can begin immediately.

At the jail today preparing for what comes next.

⚖️ Deliberate. Strategic. Personal.

A lower fee does not always mean a better value.

Some criminal defense firms are built on volume — signing as many cases as possible, moving quickly, and managing overwhelming caseloads. That model may allow for lower prices.

But when your freedom, reputation, and future are on the line, the better question is: what kind of representation are you actually receiving?

Benson Defense Law intentionally maintains a smaller caseload — so each client receives direct attorney communication, detailed preparation, and trial-focused representation tailored to their case.

Criminal defense should never feel impersonal.

to my days at PD15. 🎩

Three Not Guilty felony verdicts in a two week period earned me the “Hat Trick” recognition.

Trial work has always been at the core of how I practice.
