I went to Mr. Melnick with a very difficult case. Ben was very open, honest, and willing to do the hard work. My case got worse as time went on, the law came at me in every way they could. I was very scared, I was going to be convicted of a crime I didn't commit. Mr. Melnick covered every avenue the ...prosecutor came up with. If it wasn't Mr. Melnick, I would not have had a fair trial. If you need an attorney to dig his feet in and fight for you, Ben Melnick is the attorney on your side.

I was arrested for an apparent DUI after I hit a tree trying to avoid another car. I then failed the field sobriety test due to a medically documented inner-ear problem and seven broken ribs from the crash. After I requested an attorney, Ben was the only one who was willing to help in the middle of t...he night. He encouraged me not to give up and walked me through every step of the process while patiently answering any questions I had. He was perfectly willing to take time out of his day to alleviate any concerns I may have had; whether by phone, text or email he kept open lines of prompt communication available. I never felt anything less than confident and knowledgeable with Ben by my side throughout the entire process. Thanks to his knowledge, expertise, caring and professionalism my case was unanimously resolved in my favor and justice was served. I would highly recommend Ben to anyone who needs the best attorney!

Ben is a smart young attorney that will do great things in his career. He was extremely responsive through phone calls, email and text messaging. When I text him, he would always answer. He kept me calm through the preliminary court stuff. He was informative about my choices and didn't push to be ...settle for less than I wanted. When I decided I wanted to go through a jury trial for my case, he was excited and did a great job. He is just competitive enough to push people but not so competitive to piss people off. I won my case and would highly recommend him to people.

I would highly recommend Ben Melnick as a defense attorney. Ben always kept me informed and up to date during my case. Ben successfully defended me in my case. I was involved in an accident on my motorcycle where a car pulled out in front of me causing me to Tbone the car that had pulled out in front... of me when I had right of way. I blacked out at the scene due to my extensive injuries and was later rushed to the hospital. The City Prosecutor charged me 5 months later with a DUI alcohol/marijuana combined based on a warrant they obtained from a Judge to take my blood the night of the accident. This even though I had not smoked/used any Marijuana that day and had very little alcohol in my blood...well under the limit. With Ben's knowledge of case law he was able to argue successfully that the details of my case showed that the police never had probable cause to get a warrant in the first place and my case was dismissed by the Judge at my trial. Ben is a true professional and I would certainly recommend his services anytime.

I wholeheartedly recommend Ben Melnick for any type of DUI case. The night I was arrested for DUI, I was panicking and called through the list of attorney names that were provided at the police station. Luckily, I was able to get a hold of Ben, and he was instantly helpful in providing advice on wh...at I should and should do or say that night. Subsequently, I did a review of the DUI attorneys in the Vancouver area to select the lawyer I would use throughout my process. Although Ben has been licensed for only a short time, I was very impressed with his breadth of knowledge and acumen. Interestingly, as I interviewed other attorneys on the phone, two of them asked who else I was talking to. I mentioned Ben's name among others, and they said very positive things about him--even as they were competing for my business. Ben left no stone unturned as he examined the police report, the evidence, and the test results. He was able to get my administrative suspension (DOL) thrown out because the test was not performed precisely per WA state law. He interviewed the police officer during discovery and thoroughly evaluated the interview with the written report. He even went out the actual arrest location to gather information about the evening of my arrest. Throughout my ordeal, Ben was extremely helpful, compassionate, respectful, and knowledgeable. He treated me with dignity and helped me maintain positive focus when I was feeling overwhelmed and depressed, and very embarrassed. He always gave me balanced, informed advice, and helped me think through my options at every step. Ben was also very responsive and available. He took numerous calls from me to talk through the complexities of my case, was patient when I asked him the same question several times to truly understand the answer, and he provided me his cell phone number so I could text him anytime--day or night. I've worked with attorneys before who are very difficult to reach and may not respond for days, sometimes. Ben was always willing to respond to my questions and texts....truly admirable. Overall, I am deeply appreciative to Ben for his help and assistance through the entire process. I recommend him without hesitation, and would select him over attorneys with many years of experience.
