Everything with David was wonderful - his service, his background, he really worked hard for me! Everything was handled professionally and quickly. Dave obtained amazing results for my personal injury case. He kept every promise he made to me and I couldn't be happier with the outcome of my case.

I was charged with felony assault. I had a very clean record before this charge with no convictions. I was very nervous when I was originally charged. The system really tried to drag out my case because of the magnitude of the charge, but David used his knowledge and stuck with the case. He kept telling me to stay with the court's guidelines and in the end the case was dismissed.

David Benowitz handled my case with skill and craft. I was in serious trouble for a small mistake. As is typical, the MPD charged me with the most serious offense possible(even with all evidence to the contrary). David talked to the government and got my charges corrected. He maneuvered the system and guided me to a resolution that was much better than I had ever hoped. He is definitely trustworthy and has great patience. I was a scared mess. He took the time to handle my case well and explained things along the way making a horrible experience much more bearable.

I was charged with rape of my daughter. The charges were completely unfounded, and other lawyers weren't giving me a chance. I was facing life behind bars. Another attorney wanted to me to pay an amount I couldn't afford, but David said he would allow me to set up an affordable payment plan. He didn't leave a stone unturned. I had complete confidence that Dave had a grasp of all of the issues. The case was thrown out the day trial was supposed to start because of the evidence his investigators found. Everything fell into place perfectly

• David handled my DUI / DWI matter.
• I have previously worked with 1-2 lawyers.

I was involved in a DUI case where I felt I was not guilty. I spoke with several lawyers in the DC area that wanted me to take a plea. But because I was robbed and that was the reason why I was driving, I felt that this cause should go on my side if I took it to trial.

I chose David because he seemed very down to earth and extremely professional. He told me that I did have a case and that we could win in trial.

After a year of getting my case continued, we ended up winning the case because of David's hard work and dedication to justice. I would highly recommend him to anyone that is serious about winning their case.

I was facing second degree murder and more than twenty years. David Benowitz represented me. From the first time we met in 2008 e was there for me, he answered all my questions and hung in through good and bad. He gave me solid advise about choices I had to make in the case. As a result of his hard work I ended up walking out of the courtroom. I am very relieved because I would have been sitting in jail for a while.

Mr. Benowitz and his staff was extremely helpful with my case. I had a charge with an unjustifiable arrest which through Mr. Benowitz's experience was able to negotiate a full dismissal of my case. I would recommend he and his firm to anybody facing a criminal charge, they will work hard for you, and above all be honest with you.

I was charged with Possession with Intent to Distribute Cocaine, as well as possession of cocaine. Dave was the first paid lawyer I ever retained. I had used public defender's for a few cases in the past, and I have never been so glad to invest money in a lawyer as I was when I hired Dave. His fees were great. He worked with a payment plan to make sure I could afford to retain him. We had a pretty great case on our hands, but it was by no means a piece of cake. Dave left the prosecutor and the police officers who were witnesses against me absolutely stunned. He easily found key evidence early on that played a huge role in my case. It was amazing to see how exactly what he saw in my case in the beginning was exactly the important points brought up in trial. He definitely has talent. They never knew what hit them. He was my pittbull in the courtroom. He's extremely open minded, willing to listen to my input but also gets the job done. He patiently worked with me through all my questions. And the result? "Not Guilty"!

Short Version: Exceptional and rare group of attorneys and staff!!!! Just hire them when you get the chance, you WILL NOT get a better team of attorneys and staff to work with and represent you!!!!!!!!!!!

Detail: In October 2009 I was involved in a situation whereby I was assaulted and later arrested for a Felony of assault with a deadly weapon. My family called The Law Office of David Benowitz, along with various other offices over the weekend to obtain an attorney for me. This was the ONLY firm to ever call back and quite instantly, beginning to work with my family and I almost immediately. After being in jail for the first time in my life (and in DC of all places) I was a wreck, physically and emotionally injured. All of the fear I felt two days later before my arraignment, Attorney Roseanna Chase approached me that very Monday and relieved so much of the anxiety I felt. After my arraignment I was escorted to her office, the Law Office of David Benowitz, where the legal process began for me. Throughout the next 6 months I worked closely with Roseanna on my case. She kept me updated on the entire process including investigations, court dates, explanations of the many “what next/ what if” questions I often called her about. Roseanna was amazing at keeping me abreast of every detail of procedure and updates of my case from all angles. She has always been firm and honest about my case, never “keeping me in the dark” about anything and always being completely truthful about what I could expect at any point in the process. Later, at my final trial, she was extremely firm and strong in the courtroom. She demonstrated her highly legal mind and experience and showed no fear, alleviating much of my own anxiety and uncertainty. At this trial, where I had pled not guilty to what became of my felony, 2 misdemeanors, Roseanna made a Motion for Judgement of Acquittal and won this motion on both counts. Apparently this rarely and almost never happens, just proving how efficient Roseanna and the Office of David Benowitz really is. She was highly prepared and I felt like I was on a team with her the whole time because she never kept me wondering about what was happening in the Courtroom. She was truly exceptional and efficient in Court. I have seen many attorneys and legal staff throughout my over 6 years of experience working in the legal field, and I have honestly never met a group of attorneys who work so efficiently individually and as a team as this group of attorneys and legal staff. I was never in court by myself, always called, texted and/or emailed often and treated with the utmost honesty, directness and empathy by all of the attorneys and staff I worked with. My case was very uncertain for most of the 6 months, but Roseanna used all of her knowledge and experience to make the judicial process work to its fullest capability. Attorneys David Benowitz and Jason Kalafat also worked with me on several occasions when Roseanna was involved in other trials and matters and they were amazing as well. Also, the staff that I personally worked with including Patrick Henning, Matt Lawson and Marquita Johnson, were and are an indispensable portion of the team. They each aided me at any and every time I called and were nothing but courteous and direct with me. Everyone at this Firm was incredibly exceptional at their professions and I am unable to repay them for the wonderful experience I had with them in this process. They kept me hopeful during one of the most difficult periods in my life where I was suffering physically and emotionally and they never failed to go out of their way at any time to make the process easier. I cannot thank or recommend their exceptional quantity and quality of service enough!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was charged with Simple assault in DC. It was the first time I dealt with a criminal charge. David and his team guided me through the legal process, answering my limitless questions promptly. After a great deal of one of one preparation, we went to trial together and David was fantastic. Even with five witnesses against me, including police officers, I was acquitted!

I was facing reckless driving which meant many points that would have stayed on my license for many years (I have CDL) and I had a job application in. I needed to find a good lawyer and these guys were across the street from the courthouse. I got a great attorney who went with me the day of the hearing. I didn't think I had much of defense and my luck the officers who had me on radar showed. The police officer spoke and I was sure I was done. My attorney cross examined the officers and found out that he screwed up. The judge agreed and found me not guilty. FYI when I saw the officer he said when I saw you I thought I was fine but when I saw your attorney I knew I was dead. Thanks for your hard work, you guys are good.

I wanted to thank David for everything he did for me. I was facing several counts of obstruction of justice related to a homicide case. I was facing up to 57 years in prison. David and the other lawyers Amanda and Rosie did great work in finding information about witnesses. They were able to take away their credibility on the stand catching them in lies. The hard work they did paid off and I was found not guilty. It feels real good to be out. It was a life changing event and I am thankful for Dave's hard work and dedication to the case. M.
