Steady counsel for the moments that decide what happens next.
Wilson Bennett Law Group represents individuals, families, and businesses across civil litigation, family law, criminal defense, real estate, immigration, and business law — with the preparation of a trial team and the attention of a firm that keeps its caseload small on purpose.

Learn more ›Founded on the idea that clients deserve their lawyer's full attention
Wilson Bennett Law Group was founded in 2011 by John Wilson and Marcus Bennett, two Ghanaian attorneys who met while pupillaging at the same chambers and later built a practice on the same principle: a client should never feel like a file number.
Today the firm has grown to six lawyers across six practice areas, but the caseload per attorney is still capped well below the local average, so every client gets direct access to the lawyer handling their matter — not a rotating cast of clerks.
We are proud to be a Ghanaian firm serving clients nationwide, from families to growing local businesses.
Direct access to your attorney
You will have the cell number of the attorney on your case, not just an intake line.
Flat-fee clarity where possible
We quote flat fees for defined matters and explain hourly billing plainly when it applies.
Trial-ready from day one
Cases are prepared as if they are going to trial, which is exactly why most of them settle well.
Community-rooted
We offer a reduced-fee clinic on the first Saturday of every month for the communities we serve.
Meet the attorneys
Six lawyers, six areas of focus, one firm. Every attorney at Wilson Bennett is enrolled at the Ghana Bar and regulated by the General Legal Council.
John Wilson
John co-founded the firm in 2011 after eight years in litigation practice in Ghana. He leads the litigation team and has taken more than 40 cases to trial, with a focus on personal injury and employment disputes.
Marcus Bennett
Marcus advises founders and family-owned businesses on formation, contracts, and disputes between partners. Before co-founding the firm, he spent five years in-house at a logistics company headquartered in Accra.
Angela Whitfield
Angela leads the family law practice, handling custody, divorce, and adoption matters. She is a certified mediator and often works to resolve custody disputes without a contested court hearing.
Terrence Coleman
Terrence represents clients facing felony and misdemeanor charges across the Ashanti and Greater Accra regions, with particular experience in bail applications and appeals.
Diane Okafor
Diane handles residential and commercial closings, title disputes, and landlord-tenant matters. She previously worked as in-house counsel for a regional title insurance company.
Malik Johnson
Malik represents individuals and families on residence and work permits, dual citizenship, and matters before the Ghana Immigration Service. He is fluent in Twi and Ga and volunteers monthly at the firm's community legal clinic.
Results clients can point to
Past results do not guarantee a future outcome, but they show how we approach a case. Figures below reflect matters resolved over the last five years.
"John kept me informed at every step and never made me feel rushed, even during the parts of my case that dragged on for months."
"Angela helped my family reach a custody agreement without ever setting foot in a courtroom. I am grateful for how calm she stayed throughout."
"Marcus reviewed our partnership agreement line by line and caught two clauses that would have cost us later. Worth every dollar."
Frequently asked questions
Answers to what most new clients ask before their first consultation.
Yes. The first consultation, whether by phone or in person, is free and typically runs 30 to 45 minutes. There is no obligation to hire the firm afterward.
It depends on the matter. Personal injury cases are typically handled on contingency, meaning we only get paid if you do. Many family law, real estate, and business matters are billed as a flat fee, which we quote up front. Litigation that requires an unpredictable amount of court time is billed hourly, and we explain that rate before any work begins.
Most of our caseload is in the Greater Accra and Ashanti regions, and we regularly appear before the Circuit and High Courts in Accra and Kumasi, as well as the Ghana Immigration Service. We can discuss representation outside this area on a case-by-case basis.
For flat-fee matters, we can typically split payment into two or three installments tied to milestones in the case. Ask your attorney about this during your consultation.
Bring any documents related to your matter — contracts, police reports, court notices, or correspondence — along with a photo ID. If you are unsure what applies, bring everything you have and we will sort through it together.
