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!

The lawyer you want!

I just moved to the area and unfortunately got a DUI. I researched online and Frank had great reviews so I gave him a call. He had me come in and took my case, which was my second DUI in my driving career. He laid out what I could be looking at and was honest of the penalties I could be facing which ...was scary but I also appreciated that he didn't give me false hope. Frank and his secretary were there for me and helping me through this case. They directed me what I should do to position myself to receive the best penalty that I could and helped me keep my license. They understood that I am not a bad person and that I made a mistake that I have definitely learned my lesson and will never do again. Frank fought for me and tried to work with the judge to get me the lightest penalty possible with what he had to work with which is all I could ask for. I got the sense that he cared what the outcome of my case and I wasn't just another case for him. I would highly recommend Frank to anyone!

A Parents Best Friend

Last summer while on vacation at the beach we experienced a parents worse nightmare, a phone call at 2 AM that our son was arrested on an alcohol related charge. We went right to the Yellow Pages and saw Franks ad along with other lawyers. Franks ad said he was from OC and worked there for many years.... At 6 AM I called several lawyers and left a voice mail message. When I called Franks emergency number HE ANSWERED.I was impressed. It was 6 AM and he took the call personally. He said he would take the case and to meet him at his office at 9 AM. He then told us all the procedural steps that would be followed before our son would be released in the morning and not to worry. He told us he would make calls on our sons behalf to people in the processing system an tell them he was representing our son and for us to pick up our Son at the court/jail and come to his office at 9 AM. A ton of relief flowed over us as we drove to get our son. At Franks office he explained the entire process and his plan of action to represent our son. He then spoke to our son man to man about how foolish his actions were and how potentially damaging charges like the ones he faced could be to him now and on his future career choices. He took off the gloves and got our Sons attention. Bottom line Frank was able to get the charges held in abeyance for 6 months while our son preformed 50 hours of community service, and attended 6 months of alcohol counseling. With these activities and clean record after six months the charges were dropped. While the outcome was great, what was even more comforting was that FRANK KNEW EVERYTHING THAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN, EVERY STEP OF THE WAY. There were no surprises. He is knowledgeable and knows the system and the players and they know him. He is well know in the OC legal system and well respected. Frank is the consummate attorney. He is totally open and honest. He understands the Law and has a great reputation. He under promises and over delivers. He is calming yet candid and his results are right on target or beyond. I would use him again without hesitation and I would recommend him without reservation.

Knowledge and experience, a winning combination for top attorney

Frank Benvenuto is the attorney that your best friend would recommend knowing that you needed expert legal defense. He is not only proficient but also compassionate and does the very best for his clients within the scope of the law. Frank Benvenuto was available to answer qustions and give advice a...nytime, even giving me his mobile number. I felt the two DUI court cases were more successful with Frank Benvenuto at the helm.

Frank Benvenuto Review

Frank did an excellent job keeping me informed in each step of the case. He filed timely motions. He did not give any false hope, yet told the possibilities. He also advised me of certain scenarios. All in all very professional.
