The guy you need to call for Gun Charges

Dave represented me for a firearms charge in DC. I had no idea how strict DC was with firearms, and usually in Virginia having a shotgun in your vehicle is no big deal. In DC i was stopped and arrested, and facing some serious repercussions. Dave came highly recommended to me by one of my attorne...y friends, and he seemed to be the go-to guy for any gun charges in D.C. We had Open communication throughout the entire ordeal, and Dave always kept me up to date on my case. All questions and concerns i had were addressed by Dave immediately. Dave was able to secure my freedom and made sure I didn't spend a day in jail for this. and was able to reduce my charges heavily. He put together a well structured case, and I own him a debt of gratitude. David Benowitz is the best gun attorney in DC. save your time, and call him first.

Exceptional Lawyer

My daughter was charged with drving under the influence in DC. A friend of the family referred us to David Benowitz as one of the best DUI lawyers in Washington, DC. We called David and he took the case. I was worried because my daughter blew an extremely high BAC. The mandatory sentence was five... days in jail plus fines. David, being the subject matter expert, was able to lower the punishment to 1year of Youth Act Supervised Probation, which allowed the case to be removed after the probation was completed. David did an exceptional job handling her case, keeping us informed of all new developments.. Even better, David managed to have the entire probation thrown out 8 months early her conviction was thrown out entirely.

More than satisfied

David Benowitz handled my case with skill and craft. I was in serious trouble for a small mistake. As is typical, the MPD charged me with the most serious offense possible(even with all evidence to the contrary). David talked to the government and got my charges corrected. He maneuvered the system... and guided me to a resolution that was much better than I had ever hoped. He is definitely trustworthy and has great patience. I was a scared mess. He took the time to handle my case well and explained things along the way making a horrible experience much more bearable.

Outstanding work on my DUI case

I was involved in a DUI case where I felt I was not guilty. I spoke with several lawyers in the DC area that wanted me to take a plea. But because I was robbed and that was the reason why I was driving, I felt that this cause should go on my side if I took it to trial. I chose David because he se...emed very down to earth and extremely professional. He told me that I did have a case and that we could win in trial. After a year of getting my case continued, we ended up winning the case because of David's hard work and dedication to justice. I would highly recommend him to anyone that is serious about winning their case.

Acquitted on my Simple Assault Charge!!!

I was charged with Simple assault in DC. It was the first time I dealt with a criminal charge. David and his team guided me through the legal process, answering my limitless questions promptly. After a great deal of one of one preparation, we went to trial together and David was fantastic. Even with ...five witnesses against me, including police officers, I was acquitted!
