An Incredibly Positive Experience

I got myself in to quite a bit of trouble when I was on vacation in Ocean City a few months back. I asked a local and they referred me to Mr. Benvenuto. He was able to make me feel comfortable and confident almost instantly. I was given a clear list of things I needed to do to help him defend me in c...ourt, and he was always responsive in following up with me as the court date approached. He was knowledgeable and never over-promised what he could deliver. When the states attorney called to work out a deal in advance, Frank did everything he could and more to make sure I was given the best deal possible in my situation. In the end, things turned out much better than I could have ever hoped for. Make a mistake or two vacationing Ocean City? Call Frank Benvenuto. Based on my experience, you won't regret it.

A lawyer who LISTENS!

Frank and his team guided me through my first experience with the criminal court system with compassion and honesty. I felt from the beginning that my case was a priority to him and that he was committed to getting the best possible outcome for me. He was straightforward about my options and extremel...y knowledgeable about the law and the local court personnel. I am a professional driver with a CDL and I was impressed with Frank's knowledge of how the charges would affect my license. My phone calls were always answered by Frank or a staff member; I never had to leave a message or wait for a return call. I was kept informed of any updates and never felt rushed when I called with a question. In short, Frank gives lawyers a GOOD name and I would recommend him to anyone, including my family and best friends.

Professional Trustworthy Lawyer

I live in New York and my son went on a vacation with his girlfriends family. They got into a situation and I was unable to get to Maryland with him to defend him. I contacted Frank Benvenuto and he was able to help us. Any question I had he and his team answered honestly. I never waited for a re...sponse when I had a question. They were the most down to earth pleasant people. I couldn't be more happy with the outcome of our case also. I put my trust in their team and was never let down. There were no hidden cost either. Frank Benvenuto was upfront with the possibility of all costs and he was also reasonable. Everything that pertained to our case was immediately e-mailed over. I would recommend Mr. Benvenuto to anybody that has a situation in Maryland. I hope one day I have the honor to meet him and his team..

THE BEST CARING, PROFESSIONAL AND EXPERIENCED CRIMINAL ATTORNEY

I highly recommend Frank! He is not only an experienced criminal lawyer but he is one of the most caring, professional attorneys you would ever come in contact with. Recently my son got into trouble in Ocean City, Maryland. We reside in Virginia (3 hours away). He decided to take a trip to Ocean ...City Maryland with a couple of so called buddies. They ended up being stopped and the only person charged with possession of Marijuana and intent to distribute was my son. As parents, this was our worst nightmare! We were fearful of my son going to jail and having a criminal record that would affect his future and career. I contacted several of the most highest rated attorneys including Frank and chose him because he understood as an attorney and parent what we were experiencing. The other Attorneys were pessimistic and non-caring from jump and stated that my son would get time. Frank made no promises but indicated that he would fight for my son to the end. He did just that and more! My son ended up with probation before judgement (PBJ). This was not an easy outcome because attorney Frank had to fight for my son when appearing before one of the toughest judges. He did an excellent job! The real blessing, experience, and professionalism of having attorney Frank came when the trial was over. He found out information that could have had a positive bearing on my son's settled case. Attorney Frank did not have to inform us of this information but as a moral and ethical Attorney he disclosed this information to us. He decided that he would continue to pursue an even better outcome for my son. He pursued and called us back with the great news! My son and the entire family commend Frank on this victory and will be forever grateful! If you want justice and one of the best attorneys, hire Frank Benvenuto!

possession of marijuana ocean city maryland

My son was charged with marijuana possession this past summer 2013 while staying the summer in Ocean City, MD. My son thought the charge was no big deal as the officer gave him a citation and he wasn't taken into custody. I explained to my son that even though he was given a citation (ticket) he was... still charged with a crime. I immediately combed the internet searching for a defense attorney that had a knowledgeable background in drug possession cases with good outcomes for the cases on the Eastern Shore. All my searches kept coming up with Frank Benvenuto. I called Frank the following day (early am) and to my surprise he answered my call and spoke with me in great detail. I decided to retain Frank for my son's lawyer that day. My son met with Frank the following day and he explained to my son what he was facing regarding penalty and fines and possible jail time. My son's court date was last week and the outcome was good. My son received PBJ unsupervised for 1 year and a monetary fine. Thank you Frank :)
