Read this!! Please before taking on David.

I was charged with a mister meaner simple assaulting in DC. That was far from what actually happened. Story: I was out in DC with my wife 2 years ago on Halloween and I walked out of a club drunk looking for my wife when I had bumped into a woman. This girl then turned around and hit me. She call...ed the cops from across the road and had me! Arrested, saying a I assaulted her! Far from what happened but anyway. Well I went to Jain with a charge. Me being afraid we contacted David Benowitz for help. He took on the case for 10k putting my mother and I in a corner feeling afraid. But we felt he could make things right. Short story! Here are the Cort facts. And David’s emails to me after. We went to court and the lady went to the stand first and said. I had said something rude to her. And then said I pushed her. Daivid spoke up and said hold on mam? You said my client head but you when you met him? She responded: ummmm pushed me! David said wait: first he head but you now he pushed you? She said. Actually I didn’t see!!! So now I pushed her and head but her and she is not sure. David to judge:. Your honner this is a miss trial. Judge dismisses it. ( I would think for 10k David is going to fight at this point but does not) So the bouncer of the club comes up and tells the Judge at the exact time I was arrested there was a bar fight outside where (I) was standing and a guy in a Winnie the poo costume hits another guy with a jack Daniels bottle. ( explaining why I went flying forward) the judge dismisses it..... David says nothing to save me. Evidence number 2! My now wife comes to the stand and says that she saw the fight and saw me picking myself up of the floor after I had been hit from behind. David says nothing and the judge dismisses her testimony. 3!! Cop comes up and says he saw me!!!! do nothing but I was intoxicated so arrests me. These are three people that have just told the judge I did nothing. I brought three witnesses and the girl brought ZERO! But posted pictures of Halloween night of herself on Facebook the next morning like nothing had happened. Well David losses me the case with overwhelming evidence I was innocent. Didn’t challenge the judge or anything. So now I have to come back for sentencing. I have to leave after knowing I was good and did nothing wrong. David tells me we just had a bad judge outside the court. I think to myself was my money also bad can I get that back? Because you said it was a home run with 3 people saying I did nothing? No I don’t get my money back and I leave. After being so afraid of what might happen I did not come back. One year later my mother dies and I have to watch her on skype and say good bye to her and not be next to her. Because I was afraid of the courts and how they didn’t see I did nothing wrong. I emailed David and said I am going to write a review on him. His response and I have the email to prove this. David: if I write any slander against him or his company he will sue me! He will prosecute me to the fullest. So this guy takes my moms money, looses a case that can’t be lost and bully’s someone into be afaraid to challenge him because he knows the law and can manipulate it to his benefit. Well after two years David you can come after me if you like. I beg all of you that are afraid and worried, find someone who really cares about you and not a wallet getting bigger.

Excellent Attorney

Mr. Benowitz represented me in a federal case and provided outstanding legal advice and guidance. He ensured I was informed about the process, my options, and took the time to answer all of my questions. He will fight for you, your best interest, and allow you time to consider your options. I feel... confident that I received the best legal representation available at a very fair and reasonable fee.

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.

Incarnation of Professionalism

When I first had the accident it was traumatic experience where I ended up with an injury to my right leg. I began to search for an attorney online and I actually had someone handling my Personal Injury case before I reached Law office of Price Benowitz, LLP. I was disappointed by the previous lawy...er due to the lack of professionalism. When I contacted the lawyer I expected a consultation fee. To my surprise and benefit there was no fee for anything until my case was solved. Not only was I charged by contingency but they also provided me a discount on the percentage I was told originally. The office personally contacted all medical parties involved to assure that they would negotiate the fees to best provide me the settlement I desperately needed. The office staff, Amanda Garcia in particular, is the incarnation of great professionalism. Price Benowitz has gone above and beyond my expectations and I cannot wait to contact them if I ever have another incident or to refer anyone to this office. I would personally want to thank John Yannone, Amanda Garcia and the rest of the staff for the incredible job they did keeping informed everyday about the status of my case.

Not Guilty!

I was charged with Possession with Intent to Distribute Cocaine, as well as possession of cocaine. Dave was the first paid lawyer I ever retained. I had used public defender's for a few cases in the past, and I have never been so glad to invest money in a lawyer as I was when I hired Dave. His fees w...ere great. He worked with a payment plan to make sure I could afford to retain him. We had a pretty great case on our hands, but it was by no means a piece of cake. Dave left the prosecutor and the police officers who were witnesses against me absolutely stunned. He easily found key evidence early on that played a huge role in my case. It was amazing to see how exactly what he saw in my case in the beginning was exactly the important points brought up in trial. He definitely has talent. They never knew what hit them. He was my pittbull in the courtroom. He's extremely open minded, willing to listen to my input but also gets the job done. He patiently worked with me through all my questions. And the result? "Not Guilty"!
