Matthew - Benson Attorney at Law

Divorce
Paternity
Today, we’re going to talk about how to discuss Divorce or Paternity cases with your children. Part of what makes these cases so difficult is that you have to continue raising your kids while litigating with the other parent about HOW you’re going to raise your kids. There are a lot of different variables that can affect how you discuss […]

Criminal Defense
Matt Benson has been practicing law since 2004, concentrating his practice in the areas of Family Law, Probate, and Criminal Defense. Mr. Benson has also served as General Counsel for the Village of St Johns since 2007 and Counsel for the DuQuoin Community School District 300 Board of Education since 2020.
Drug Crimes
The second area where I have a concern is when it comes to purchasing a firearm. When you buy a gun, you fill out a form for the ATF called the 4473. Question 11(e) of that form asks, and I quote, “Are you an unlawful user of, or addicted to, marijuana or any depressant, stimulant, narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance?” and right underneath that is a warning: “The use or possession of marijuana remains unlawful under Federal law regardless of whether it has been legalized or decriminalized for medicinal or recreational purposes in the state where you reside.” If you say yes on the form, two things happen. First, the gun purchase probably isn’t going to go through, and second, you’ve admitted to the federal government that you’re engaging in activity that is a federal crime. That’s a problem. On the other hand, you could lie on the form,. but that’s not good either, because it’s a federal agency asking this question, which means lying on that form is potentially a felony. Now, they don’t prosecute cases like that very often, but I’m not fond of risking five years in prison (which is the maximum penalty) on the assumption that the federal government is just going to let things slide.

Social Security Disability

Bankruptcy
Today we’re going to talk about how to make your payments in a Chapter 13 bankruptcy. Now this is important, because if you don’t make your monthly payments, your case is probably going to get dismissed. Your first payment is due thirty days after you file your Bankruptcy Petition, so this is something you have to pay attention to as soon as your case gets filed.
