A Dedicated Attorney

David Benowitz is an excellent attorney. I had the pleasure of working with him prior to attending law school. Now that I am a practicing defense attorney myself, I appreciate the job he did for his clients even more. He treats each client's case with the care and attention they require, he is thorou...gh in working each case, and remains dedicated to keeping his knowledge of the law and trial skills sharp. I would not hesitate to recommend David Benowitz to a friend or family member.

Thank you for saving my life

I was facing a very serious charge of Sexual Assault. I was innocent of the charges from the beginning and facing very serious time for this. I had just gotten out of the Marines, and going through college and I knew this could ruin my future. I called a few offices, and Dave significantly stood o...ut. I left him a voicemail, and his team got back to me almost immediately. I was a completely wreck when I spoke to him, but after my initial consultation Dave made me feel at ease and I knew something could be done. I wanted to fight this all the way, since the charges were completely false. He kept me in contact at all times with email or phone. He was very transparent with everything that was going on, and he was always just a phone call away. I had a few options on how to proceed, and I made the decision to take it to trial in front of a judge. Dave did an excellent job with the case and proved that there was no case at all. My charges were completely dropped – no probation, not “dismissed”, the verdict was- NOT GUILTY. He was absolutely worth the investment, and thanks to him I was able to graduate college and get a great job instead of spending time in jail for false allegations.

Great job helping out in a tough situation

I reached out to David Benowitz to help with a client of mine who was in a difficult situation. I knew Dave had an excellent background as a public defender in DC. My client had been shot, and he and his family were being harassed to testify. Dave represented my client over the course of a year. In ...addition, he found a lawyer for the mom as well. Ultimately, he cleared up all the issues, and could not have been nicer or more responsive.

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.

Best Lawyer in DC

I was facing a DUI in DC and I wanted to hire a very good attorney to help me fight this. My friend recommended David Benowitz, and he said that Dave is the "best" in DC. I am a lawyer myself, so I knew what a solid attorney looked like. I did consult with other attorneys as well, but after 10 minute...s of speaking to Dave, I knew he was the guy I could trust. We fought the case for about a year, and I got an amazing deal thanks to Dave. I only got 3 months unsupervised probation, and paid a $100.00 fine. Dave was able to advocate on my behalf, and really saved me. It would have been significantly worse without him. He did an amazing job. Besides being a great professional, he is a good person and an amazing listener.
