A trustworthy lawyer you can actually depend on!

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 dis...missed! 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!!

Extremely Knowledgeable, Very Dilligent

Nearly two years ago, after an arrest at a DUI checkpoint in Ontario, I retained the services of The Law Offices of Michael Scafiddi. Ben Cates was invaluable in helping me through an extremely long, drawn-out process with the DMV, which ultimately resulted in my license suspension being set aside. I... believe having Ben representing me at the DMV hearings, and also in the court room made a huge difference. He's definitely the guy you want in your corner and I'm extremely pleased with the outcome of my case. I would highly recommend Ben Cates and The Law Offices of Michael Scafiddi to anyone facing a similar situation.

GREAT ATTORNEY

Ben represented me in a charge of DUI. Ben, walked me through the process and would keep me up to date on a weekly basis even if no changes occurred, he made sure I was in the loop at all times. In the court room, he was very knowledgeable and fought for me until the end. As a result to him being on ...top of his game, my DUI charges were dismissed and I received a dry and reckless

Awesome Lawyer

Ben Cates represented me in a really sensitive case. He believed in me even with my prior criminal record, and represented me to the fullest. Best lawyer I ever had, and I have had many of them. He always answered my phone calls, truly professional at all times, and I feel went beyond his duty to get... the best outcome for me. I definitely have him on my speed dial for any future issues with the law. I highly recommend him

Excellent and professional DUI attorney

Benjamin Cates represented me as my DUI attorney through the law offices of Michael Scafiddi for a suspected DUI with the Riverside Police Department. I cannot emphasize enough how much of a difference he made in making the very stressful and confusing State of California DUI legal process as clear ...as possible. As the other reviews and endorsements have said, his positive attitude, sharp intellect and being able to uncover things in a case that others would overlook (which was a huge factor in my case) makes Ben a cut above a typical DUI attorney. In addition, I also appreciated how he consistently presented a realistic picture of scenarios throughout the progression of my case, never over-promising but always delivering above expectations. The result of my case has enabled me to move on with my life and my job with a dramatic reduction of charges. While I agree that the law offices of Michael Scafiddi is more expensive than other law offices that deal with DUI/DWI cases, the fees for premium staff are well justified and I feel that it was money more than well spent. Ben and the members of the law office Michael Scafiddi also treated me with utmost professionalism and respect, I felt much more at ease knowing that I had them on my side through the process. I highly recommend Benjamin Cates and the law offices of Michael Scafiddi for anyone dealing with a potential DUI/DWI conviction.
