Extraordinary litigator

I hired Ms. Benes after witnessing her professionalism secondhand while I waited in a Loudoun County courtroom for an unrelated case. Months later, she successfully represented me as the plaintiff in a seven-figure defamation case. I would not hesitate to utilize Ms. Benes for ANY legal services in ...the future. It is clear that her conduct is beyond reproach and she enjoys a highly regarded reputation amongst her peers in the courtroom on both sides of the aisle and the bench.

Just What I neded

I had to sue a former business partner so there were a lot of complications. I found Ms. Benes to be very knowledgeable, experienced, thorough and, best of all, A to B. She didn't pad her time or engage in useless chit chat. In court, she was relentless but at the same time very professional. She... was just what I needed . . . and it resulted in a very satisfactory outcome. I couldn't be happier. GL

Best Lawyer in Fairfax

Bethany Benes represented my father with a dispute over property that was jointly owned with a family member. She was very professional, caring and prepared for depositions and court. She was very impressive in court she was prepared with a binder with evidence that was organized, charts, the right... questions to ask the other party and answers to everything that was questioned. She was able present his side of the statement even though he couldn’t speak English very well she hired a wonderful translator. The judgement was in my father’s favor. I would highly recommend her to anyone that needs a lawyer that will work diligently for their clients. We were very blessed to find her. Thank you Bethany Benes!!!

Business owner/Investor

Ms Benes is the consummate lawyer. She fiercely advocates on behalf of her clients as was my case. During that process she provided both written and verbal communications explaining the law and the options best suited to arrive at the desired legal outcome sought. Her understanding of the law and res...earch, as required, was that of counsel who tirelessly works to ensure her client is well advised and represented which in my matter led to a favorable resolution. I will continue to use her counsel and would not hesitate to recommend her to my family, friends, clients, and professional associates.

  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
