Looking Out For The Little Guy

I met Mr. David through a friend. Terrific guy. Words of encouragement he gives on a daily basis. He gifted with a heart of love and I thank him for that. I appreciate his time and his effort and I'm pleasant to be his friend. As well he also provided me accurate guidance dealing with my lawsuit. He... helped me understand the law as well. I thank him for that. He helped me to get all my benefits and money from the insurance company and made sure that they did not take advantage of me. He settled my case for even more than he promised me. And may God bless him and his family.

My accident lawyer

I was involved in a serious auto accident dec 22nd 2016. My 2nd day in the hospital Mr Benefeld dropped whatever he was doing and rushed to my aid. He and his staff has been nothing but pleasant to work with, always quit to answer questions and explain the process. I received my settlement within 9 m...onths of the accident date and was pleased with the outcome!

World-class Attorney!!! Simply the Best!!!

I hired David M. Benenfeld for my workers compensation case. Let me begin by saying that I cannot thank David and his amazing staff enough for all their hard work and dedication to my case! David is a world-class attorney, expert of his craft, highly professional and an amazing, compassionate and ...understanding human being. He always kept me up to date and well informed, and always took time to answer my questions and calls. With David on my side I always felt secure and certain of the future and the more than happy of the outcome of my case! I highly recommend David M. Benenfeld and his practice to anyone in need of a workers compensation lawyer and I will be eternally grateful for his service.

A Compassionate Lawyer and Staff Who Really Know Their Stuff

I hired David Benenfeld seven months after my work related injury. I had mistakenly assumed that if you play fair with workman’s comp, they would return the courtesy…I was wrong. I had been given every reason to believe that I would recover from my injury, I inadvertently stumbled on to the real natu...re of my injury and was devastated at the reality of my condition and how it would adversely affect the rest of my life. I knew then that I was in over my head in shark infested waters and I needed the best lifeguard on the beach. David and his associates are by far the best team you will find anywhere in Florida. Even though we were at opposing ends of the state I felt like he was just next door as he was so prompt at addressing any fears or issues I had. If you need a caring and compassionate expert on your side your first call should be to David. He has enabled me to have access to the funds I need to re-configure my future as a permanently disabled person. With wise and careful planning and the funds David secured for me in my Settlement, my future doesn't seem so bleak anymore. Thank you David and a sincere thank you for Tanya. David you are blessed to have her on your team!

Handled My Worker's Compensation Case with Ease

David made things very clear and I was very satisfied with the service given to me. I felt like family instead of a client. They were heartwarming and actually treated me like family. They explained the law to me so that I understood it and never rushed me off the phone or out of his office. Th...ey were caring and compassionate. I would highly recommend their services and give them a 10 out of a 10!
