Seth Russell Okin

Having recently been incorrectly cited in a rather serious auto collision, I had a few choices regarding my traffic violations. Not understanding the magnitude of the charges, I started looking for an attorney. After contacting several, I received a call back from Price Benowitz LLP. A customer care ...agent listened to the details of my accident and the violations I was facing.The customer care agent was sympathetic and kind, but also understood the importance of retaining counsel. They felt strongly that Seth Okin would be best to handle my case. Having sent several requests to different law firms and individual attorneys, I didn’t place much credence in the expected return call within a few hours. I was shocked when Seth called within minutes to introduce himself. At first it seems counter to what you know, considering an attorney from what appears to be a clearinghouse, but upon further research, I found the Price Benowitz website full of useful information. There is also a help assistant for instant chat and a large list of lawyers that specialize in all areas of law in D.C., Virginia and Maryland. There are reviews from past clients and a fantastic blog section written by attorneys who are part of Price Benowitz. This allowed me to get to know Price Benowitz and Seth a little better before I made my decision to work with them both. What I came to appreciate was that even though the concept of a client management team seemed cold and uncaring, it actually made it much easier for Seth to focus on the case, not the paperwork. The client manager is your first contact with Price Benowitz. They field your internet or phone request for an attorney, handle your client agreement and any questions you may have about what they offer. They know all of the attorneys, and their specialties, and can pair you accordingly. Price Benowitz LLP takes out the “ambulance chaser” ideal we have been taught about auto and personal injury attorneys; it breaths fresh life and credibility into this practice area of law. Price Benowitz LLP is dedicated to changing the way you hire an attorney. After my initial conversation with Seth, he sent me his contact information via email and text. He reiterated Price Benowitz’ stance on a flat rate, start to finish, complete client care 24/7. The only thing I took issue with, was not meeting Seth before my court date. That may be a dated way of doing things, but it is still comforting to meet your attorney before you arrive for trial. Seth is understandably a busy attorney, he is definitely a rising star in the community, which may leave him a little stretched in regard to personalizing his client base. In the weeks after my accident and leading to my court date, I was terrified and occasionally felt Seth had forgotten about me because we had not spoken for some time. If you encounter any frustration working with Seth, I encourage you to call, email or text him and share your concerns. Seth is a great communicator. He is always willing to listen and wants you to understand the law and how it affects your case. Seth is honest and forthcoming. He will give you the best and worst case scenario and his expectation of the trial. Seth actively engages with other attorneys and court personnel. This allows him to have a good working relationship with the courts in Maryland and helps him tailor his defense based on who will be in the courtroom that day. Seth is confident and smart. Driven and hungry, he looks for facts and will gather any and all information related to your case; right down to the weather report for the day. In my hearing, the judge praised Seth for “doing his homework.” It’s that attention to detail, the client, the court and ultimately his respect for the law, that helps Seth Okin win cases including mine. Price Benowitz LLP is fortunate to have Seth Okin under their umbrella. If you can chose an attorney, ask for the best Price Benowitz has to offer, Seth Okin.

I was really worried about a citation I received in Maryland, and my dad helped me look for a good attorney to fight this. I found Seth online, and only 20 minutes after reaching out to his office I got a call back from Mr. Okin. It was an amazing consult, he immediately started asking me about my ...achievements, my aspirations, and what we could do to fight this. We had a 45 minute conversation, which he clearly outlined what he was going to say to the judge, and what his court demeanor would be. He made everything really easy to understand, which of course is great. Seth accommodated communication for my dad and I, keeping us both in the loop. He recommended some things I do beforehand so everything would look great in front of the judge. He knew exactly what would happen, and made himself available for my needs. Seth just made it as easy as possible, he did everything I expected from a top notch attorney, and he did it well. My case resulted a NOT GUILTY verdict, no fines, nothing. He used some creative means, and really went the extra mile to take care of me. I think financially this was a great investment, and glad my record won’t be affected.

I was looking online for an attorney to help me out with a minor traffic case and I came across Seth Okin. I was very much concerned with my tickets as my insurance could go up by a ton. When I spoke to Seth I felt so much more comfortable and he assured be about the case. He was very confident. ...I felt like I could trust him. Seth and I attended court together in Greenbelt, MD and Seth got ¾ of my charges dismissed and even got my fine reduced. My license did not have any implications and Seth took care of everything for me. I would highly, recommend Seth and I have already recommended him to a couple friends. He makes you feel comfortable and he is very knowledgeable when it comes to law in Maryland. He is AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME.

I called Seth 4 days before my trial and was happy that he took my case. My trial was for driving uninsured with a chance of jailtime and a big hefty fine. I gave him all the information I had to share with him and he told me everything I needed to know before going in. We won the case with me onl...y paying court cost. He is very friendly, informative and I would recommend him to my family and friends.

Seth and three other lawyers responded to my request through Avvo seeking representation on a traffic citation. As soon as I spoke with Seth I knew he was the one to represent my interests. He carefully explained the law regarding my citation, he did not hype what he could do for me. Seth explaine...d that there are no guarantees, however he will do the very best in order to have a satisfactory result. Throughout the process he kept me informed and on June 17 he called me to tell me that it was all finished with the result that we wanted. I will not hesitate to use Seth again or to recommend him to anyone.
