I had a very positive experience working with Mr. Kalafat. He is very accessible and always answered my questions in a timely manner. From the very beginning of my case Mr. Kalafat knew exactly what he needed to do to take care of my situation. I found Price Benowitz, LLP on a Google search; based on the previous reviews I read, I decided to call right away. Upon my first meeting, Mr. Kalafat put me at ease and I was very comfortable with my decision to have him represent me. At the end of it all, thanks to Price Benowitz, and Attorney Jason Kalafat my case had a favorable resolution.

Worried about losing my Drivers License and having a DUI affecting my job and my ability to be available for my family I set out on looking for an attorney. My wife, who is an attorney, found the Criminal Defense offices of Price Benowitz, LLP and based on her research she felt that they were the best office to handle my case. So I called and was given some preliminary information from the office and was scheduled to meet with Attorney Jason Kalafat. When I met with Jason I was already comfortable about our meeting because I was given clear expectations. I was offered a reasonable payment plan.I was provided contact information to be able to remain in contact which allowed for adequate communication. I went to court today and was very happy knowing that I all I had to say was thank you to the Judge for dismissing the case. I am very confident.

When I charged with a DUI in DC, I knew I needed a well-respected and well-known attorney especially now that DC is more aggressive with DUI cases. I searched the internet and spoke with a few friends about Price Benowitz, one of the best DUI and Criminal Defense firms in the area. I immediately called and Attorney Jason Kalafat was able to meet me immediately. Both him and the firm were very down to earth, knowledgeable, informative and accessible. I also worked with Attorney Rabihah Scott in the office who assisted with the MVA situation. Through continuous negotiations and persistent efforts, Price Benowitz was able to get my case dismissed. I can continue on with my life as normal and I want to thank the entire firm for allowing me that freedom

Initially, when I was charged I felt overwhelmed with the system and felt unjustly accused of DUI, DWI, and OWI without any facts or given the opportunity to explain my car had been stolen while I was at an event. When it came to hiring an attorney, I pounded the pavement for a while, and was rejected because of fees. I later spoke with Rabihah Scott, she was kind and understood my distress and connected me with Jason Kalafat. He listened to me, gave me a voice when I had no words to explain and assured me that things would be alright. Jason became like a coach to me because of the pressure I was under and helped to focus on the facts. I understand that good attorneys are hard to find but Jason went beyond the call of duty. I look back at the research he did, the time he put in and I appreciate that he never gave up or wavered. He showed me that justice does exist. Thanks to the efforts put in, today, my charges were dismissed. I would not hesitate to refer the office to anyone.

"Why me?" was what I was thinking when the incident happened. I was stressed, overwhelmed, I just could not believe that it had happened to me. In the chaos, I went online and searched for "The Best Criminal Lawyer in D.C." and found Price Benowitz, LLP. I called in immediately. At first I had a Public Defender, but thought my best interest would be to call Price Benowitz. They made the process very easy for me to come in and speak with a competent attorney the day of. I felt very comfortable with speaking with my attorney, much more so than speaking with the public defender. My attorney was able to focus on my case on a one-on-one basis. I never felt so relieved to have such an amazing attorney by my side. I met with my attorney several times along with his staff to diligently prepare for trial. My case was dismissed after all the hard work my attorney put in to my case. The judge announced the dismissal of my trial and I could have never been happier with the outcome.

I was charged with DUI in DC back in March. I had a prior in Va and if the prosecutor found out this would have been my 2nd offense. I didn't know any defense lawyers beforehand, so I searched online for someone good. I was not inspired by two lawyers I talked to in VA, so I started looking in DC and found Price Benowitz right by the courthouse and thought this could be a good fit. Attorney Sukumar met with me and he inspired confidence and set my mind at ease. He let me know exactly what strategy he would take. Because of the prior, he made every effort to push my case along quickly, not allowing the prosecutor any more time than necessary. The case took about three months and he kept me in the loop throughout. Even when I dropped by the office unexpectedly he would set aside time to meet with me for a little bit. We were ready to take the case to trial and I felt confident he would win. The representation was OUTSTANDING

I was in an accident and was initially charged with Reckless Driving in D.C. I met with Shawn Sukumar the day I called and he immediately put me at ease. He walked me through the process and begin working on my case right away. He spoke with me often to update me as my case was proceeding. Any status updates were emailed to me and often times a follow-up phone call was made. Before every court appearance, he would prepare me on what to expect and made sure I was aware of correct date, time, and court room number. Shawn always took time to explain what the various legal terms meant and made sure I was comfortable with what was being done.

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 in Washington DC and 20+ years. Mr. David Benowitz represented me in the case. He was there for me, he answered all my questions and hung in there. He gave me solid advise about choices I had to make in the case and beyond. As a result I ended up with a much lesser charge with NO jail time. I am very relieved because I would have been sitting in jail for a really long time.

I retained Jason Kalafat for weapons possession and assault charges. The circumstances of the incident were truly ridiculous and Jason recognized this. Jason punched a myriad of holes in the case against me, rendering it almost impossible to obtain a conviction. When trial day came, the prosecution did not have a leg to stand on, and the case was immediately dismissed. Jason's professional demeanor throughout my case kept me at ease. It was clear that he was on my side, advocating heavily for me. Mr. Kalafat updated me continuously regarding all progress with my case. The fee structure for my matter was clearly explained and affordable. Jason is a talented attorney I would highly recommend to anyone.

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. In the end, "Not Guilty!

I was facing reckless driving with a possible six points on my license. I drive commercial vehicles for a living, so this threatened my commercial driver's license and my livelihood. I had spoken with a few lawyers, and walked out of the DC DMV to find their office down the street, across from the courthouse. I got a great attorney who went with me the day of the hearing. The payment plan was affordable, and the confidence that the staff and attorneys had in me and my case kept me calm and confident as well. I didn't think I had much of a defense and with my luck the officer who had me on radar showed to the hearing. The police officer spoke and I was sure I was done. Who can beat the Radar? My attorney cross examined the officers and got him to admit he screwed up. I couldn't believe it when the judge said "not guilty"! The officer later told us that he was too intimidated by my attorney. Due to their hard work, I can apply for a new commercial driving job! Thank you!

David is a terrific lawyer. I was falsely accused of an assault charge in DC. This was my first encounter with a criminal charge and Dave thoroughly answered all of my questions. Dave drafted a payment plan to fit my financial requirements. After a difficult trial, Dave got me acquitted of all charges!

I obtained representation because I knew it was necessary for my case. However, I was skeptical in general and expected a degree of apathy mixed with professionalism. This was not the case with the Law Office of David Benowitz. My attorney, Jason Kalafat, was personable and communicative throughout the whole process, and remarkably well-prepared for trial. He was ready to fight tooth and nail to have me exonerated, and that is exactly what happened. If you want an intelligent and knowledgeable attorney that will go the extra mile, I highly recommend the Law Office of David Benowitz.

Dave and his team made my impossible case possible. I was acquitted of all charges when I could of faced jail time. They kept me up to date of everything going on in the case as it progressed. I am a free man because I hired this firm.

Mr. Benowitz is a terrific lawyer who takes the time to understand his client's needs. He went out of his way to help a client whom I referred to him, going beyond just the basics to help clear up a complicated legal situation. He helped arrange legal counsel for other family members as well. He has an excellent record, and is a pleasure to work with. I recommend him highly to anyone who is in need of a criminal defense lawyer.

Great lawyer who got me off. Had a charge, David got it dropped the day of trial. Spread the payments over a few months made it easier to deal with. Would call him again in a second.
