Benjamin Ray Cates

Ben worked very hard to get me an amazing deal on a complicated DUI/drug case. He gave me a very affordable rate and was extremely communicative and helpful Iin every way. I cannot say enough about how dedicated he was throughout my 2-year case. I ended up with a great outcome and highly recommend him.

I was looking at 3-5 years for a felony dui and Ben kept me out of jail! And got the charges dropped to a misdemeanor. He was very professional and answered all my questions and was always available. Look no where else Ben is the perfect lawyer to defend you!

I called Ben Cates' office in a panic. My husband and I had contacted other offices but they were very vague and we never actually got to speak with a lawyer. Ben himself called me back right away after I left a message at his office and spoke with me about our case! I didn't feel rushed at all, he made me feel like he really cared to give us as much info as he could about what we should do. He even gave us advice against what that another office had told us to do and went into detail as to why we shouldn't do it. He gave us tips and my peace of mind back which was something I hadn't had in quite a while. I can't say enough about this lawyer and that's just from an over the phone consultation! Highly recommend!

Benjamin did his job without any flaws representing me, I highly recommend him!

My case was not looking good. I was looking at prison time for felony DUI. Out of all the attorneys I consulted with he was the only one who gave me hope and made me feel comfortable. He was also the only attorney to not hear the DMV hearing over the phone, but in person. Of which he won, getting my license with no restrictions. I didn't have to spend a day in jail thanks to Ben. He is the real deal.

Mr. Cates is an Outstanding Attorney. Beside his extremely knowledge and diligence, he always treated his client with cares, compassion and thoughtfulness. Mr. Cates always listened to his client patiently and responsed to the phone calls and texts as soon as possible. Mr. Cates also keeps all of the informations up-to-date for his client right after he left the Court house. If anyone ever needs a great Lawyer to protect you, I strongly recommend that you should call Mr. Cates Benjamin's office immediately. Your life will be saved. I don't have enough words to describe how much I admire Mr. Cates excellent knowledge and his wonderful personality... All I could say is: "Mr. Cates, I sincerely admire you, respect you and deeply appreciate your help and your support". Best Regards,

I would recommend Mr. Cates to anyone needing a Lawyer who will stand by you till the job is finished. Thank you so much Mr. Cates and Rosie too for all your help!

Ben is an amazing attorney as well as a wonderful individual. My fiance was being charged with crimes that he did not commit. After contacting several attorneys throughout the IE and hearing their outlandish fees, things began to look bleak. I began thinking that several years of jail time were going to be my fiances only option. Luckily, however, I stumbled across Ben on Avvo. Before giving him a call, I thought for sure he was going to be like all the other attorney's who I had spoken to previously. They were all willing to help, but only for an insanely high fee. Despite this, I trekked forward and gave him a call. That call ended up being the best decision I have ever made. From the get go Ben was nothing more than helpful and reassuring. He got all of my questions answered and guaranteed that he would fight hard to get the false charges against my fiance dropped, and he delivered. Not only that, but Ben went as far as helping me with a immensely affordable payment plan that no other attorney was able to offer. I would highly recommend Ben to any individual that happens to stumble in life. He is of the utmost integrity, professionalism, and all in all a superlative individual. Thank you Ben for all you did and continue to do!

I made the mistake of getting a DUI; it was a very nerve racking and stressful time for me. Ben handled my case and minimized it as much as he could - ultimately it was my fault but comprises were offered because of Ben's involvement. I am grateful to have had him on my team. Was knowledgeable with handling the case; extremely sincere; and always willing to take the time to explain in detail questions I had. Thank you, Ben!

Benjamin Cates represented me in a criminal case that lasted a year and a half. It was my first "run in" with the law, so I had no idea how to go about dealing with any court proceedings. Ben took over my case and handled every single appearance for me for the entire 1yr&1/2, and finally got my case handled and closed. He updated me each time and kept me knowledgable about what was going to happen. He also gave me options instead of forcing me to do something. Overall, he stuck with me, and made the court process as easy as possible for me to deal with. I'm very happy with his representation and would hire him again if need be. Thanks for all your help Ben!

Ben Cates is comfortable in the courtroom. He knows the law, and spends the time doing research. Ben listened to what i wanted and fought to make it happen. All matters were well explained allowjng me to make informed decisions. I would recommend Ben Cates to anyone in need of a criminal defense attorney

Ben was a great guy and excellent attorney. He got my DMV hearing set aside which got me no suspension on my license. He was there to answer all of my questions and knew how to handle my case. I would highly recommend him to any of my friends or Co workers. Thank you Ben for all your hard work on my case.

I was wrongly accused for a DUI which resulted in an arrest But with Bens expertise and determination under Michael Scaffiddis firm I've been able to plea down and get on with my life now. Words can never describe the gratitude I have for Ben and all that was involved in my case. Again Thank You So Much. However

Ben Cates is an excellent attorney. He never walks into court unprepared. He will fight a case with everything he has. I am proud to work along side Ben. Watching him prep a recent trial, I was struck by all the attention to detail he gave every aspect of his defense. Great lawyer. Better guy

About 2 years ago I made the horrible mistake of getting a DUI. It was a horrible time for me and I will never do that again. When I hired Ben at the Michael A. Scafiddi law offices this was the one bit of hope that I had because due to some case circumstances he was able to get my DUI completely dismissed! This was such a great relief and I could not have done this with out his insight and advice as to the rights and legal capabilities I had available to me. I can't thank him enough!!
