extremely personable and very responsive

I was in a position that afforded me privileged information. I had acted on that information and was panicked about the possible ramifications. David responded to my first inquiry that same day I reached out (over a holiday weekend none the less). We spoke and he leveraged his knowledge and expertise... in the subject. He was very thorough to keep me informed of the status, but more so; was extremely personable and very responsive. He spoke with me as though we were old friends, something I've never seen or heard about from any attorney. Fortunately, nothing ever became of the concerns, but I knew I was in the best possible hands I could have found. If I or anyone I know is ever in need of a lawyer, I know exactly who to contact and I know with David, any outcome will be the most favorable anyone to ask for.

Case dismissed!

When I was initially charged in Washington, DC, a friend who is an attorney in my home state found information about David Benowitz and Price Benowitz LLP for me. He had great credentials and came highly recommended. After reading several reviews about Dave, my wife called into the office and met w...ith David’s associate Jason Kalafat, who explained how upcoming events would likely transpire. Information she got from law enforcement officers was not correct, but everything Jason told my wife was spot on. We eventually met with David Benowitz whom we found to be knowledgeable, honest and upfront. David discussed all of my options, including going to trial. We were hoping the government would allow us to enter into a diversion agreement, but after 5 trips from my home to DC (a trip over 650 miles each way), that was not the case. Dave was extremely professional both in personal meetings and in the court room. Dave is well respected by fellow attorneys and judges alike. Dave was able to get my case dismissed, and I would absolutely recommend Dave and the Price Benowitz team to anyone in need of a criminal defense attorney.

Dave Benowitz "IS" the BEST!!!

I hired Dave Benowitz at the recommendation of friends to handle a very serious DUI charge in 2012. In the opinion of my friends, this was a slam dunk case for the prosecution, but after meeting with Dave, he advised me otherwise. Through several trial dates and following his great advice, my case wa...s completely dismissed and I extremely happy with the results and the service that Dave provided. Using his expertise, we took a chance on a much better outcome than the plea offered by the prosecution. Without him, I would have made the wrong decisions. If you are facing a similar situation of a DUI charge, I would highly recommend that you hire Dave to navigate your case.

Competent Attorney

I was originally overwhelmed when I was charged with a DUI since it was my first time. I had heard that David Benowitz was one of the best attorneys in DC. I called and we set an appointment for the next day and after speaking with him I was very comfortable with the background he had and the knowled...ge he displayed to me. I felt comfortable enough to retain him the same day. He provided me his cell phone and we were in constant communication. I was also very pleased with the flexibility of the payment plan I was offered. I was unable to make the original court date so Mr. Benowitz was able to get me a continuance. Today I walked into court knowing very well what to expect and was able to get a result that protected my career. I would definitely recommend Mr. Benowitz to anyone in a similar situation.

Effective Defense Attorney

When I was initially charged with Domestic Violence I was terrified because my life was on the line and while looking online I read a great review on a criminal defense attorney on the website so I called the and spoke with the staff and felt comfortable knowing that I would meet with Shawn Shukumar... that works under David Benowitz. He was very willing to work with my budget. After signing we were in constant communication especially because we had only 2 1/2 weeks. Today went to court and I was frustrated because the trial was running late and I was afraid of having another continuance. Shawn presented himself very professionally and pulled out all his cards and today to excitement and relief this is over and I was found Not Guilty. I am very happy with my choice. AMEN!
