John has represented me in multiple DUI cases in Arlington, VA and has done great work. He strives for the best result but manages your expectations well. John knows the prosecutors and judges and has earned respect from both sides. I was pleased with how John pushed when needed and kept me in the lo...op at all times. It's true that you get what you pay for because John continually outperforms lawyers I heard about from fellow inmates at the Arlington jail. John knows the law well and his memory is truly photographic so the prosecutors and police have a real hard time tripping him up. If you are in a bind and want good representation call John for sure. On top of it all, John is a nice guy who treats you with respect even when others may not.

The future of my career depended on the results of my case. Charges: DUI / Unattended Hit & Run (2 - Class 1 misdemeanors) Outcome: $250 Class 4 traffic ticket (no DUI, no Jail, no classes, no restricted/suspended or loss of license) The results were even better than John anticipated because... the prosecutor and the police officer were not willing to negotiate before trial to a satisfactory outcome. John along with Andrew Rudolphi fought for me. It was amazing to watch. John Boneta and Associates are the attorneys you want.

First of all, I think I am blessed to have Mr.Boneta for my attorney. This was my second time arrest for DUI and It has been six years.Previous lawyer was kind of famous one in this field and he even hired a specialist with extra $1000. However in the court, he was even confused with my last name. ...MR.BONETA was very different from him. He explaind me every possible case in detail and responded me very quickly. I was very desperate for this case but could not have any hope but a best result. My case was delayed by three times which drove me very crazy!!! You know what I have? I was dismissed!!!!' Thanks again MR.Boneta. The dinner is on me!!!

I was found sleeping in a parked car in Arlington County and was subsequently charged with a DWI, the second of my history. Even though the vehicle was parked, the officer had probable cause for the stop due to an expired inspection sticker and the fact that I was parked in a permit-only parking resi...dential area. Ultimately, I didn't do so hot on the sobriety tests and blew .11, so I was charged with a DWI 2nd in 10 years, which carries a penalty of a mandatory minimum 10 days in jail plus a 3 year license suspension and 3 year probationary period. Needless to say, my situation was extremely dire, especially considering that Arlington County is one of the toughest, if not THE toughest jurisdictions on DWI in the Commonwealth. I did some research online and met with several attorneys, all of whom told me that my case was hopeless and that I should pay them anyway, which ultimately seemed like a waste of time. My last meeting was with Mr. Boneta, and I immediately felt like if I was going to have a chance at winning this case with anyone, it would be with him. He gave me a list of mitigation activities to complete prior to my court date, which included community service, an alcohol counseling assessment, online traffic school, and the collection of letters of recommendation from professional and personal sources. I completed all of them before my court date, as I knew that this would help my case at least in the sentencing portion of the situation. Once court arrived, I was expecting the worst and made plans as such. I had faith in John, but I knew also that the odds were stacked against me and that the prosecution had a pretty solid case to prove the DWI. However, before court even began, Mr. Boneta was able to negotiate with the prosecutor to count my DWI as a first offense, as my prior had occurred in a different state and thus it was not acceptable to be counted as a first offense. Ultimately, Mr. Boneta got me the absolutely best possible outcome considering the circumstances, which included a single night in jail (180 days sentenced, 176 suspended, 2 total served including the day of arrest), a $500 fine ($1000 suspended), enrollment in the ASAP program, a one year license suspension as opposed to a three year suspension. Upon completion of the suspension there will be no ignition interlock. Mr. Boneta seemed very well-connected at the courthouse and had a good rapport with staff and officials in the courtroom. If you want the best result for your case in Arlington County, go with John Boneta. If you want a lot of possible jail time, high fines, and long-lasting punitive measures thanks to the severity of Arlington County judicial processes, go with pretty much anyone else. John was a fantastic counsel and I am eternally grateful for his help!
