Washington DC Criminal Defense

DC criminal defense attorney, David Benowitz, understands that criminal defense is not a black and white issue. Criminal defense is not a straight-forward task, besides understanding the intricacies of the law, attorneys are helping people.

David Benowitz: Practicing criminal defense is an art; it’s not a science. And it takes very specialized training to be able to do it. It takes a lot of experience to be able to do it successfully because in the end what your dealing with, your dealing with people, and you need to know how to handle people in a wide variety of situations. You need to know how to handle police officers, you need to know how to deal with judges, with other lawyers, with prosecutors. All of that is an art form and if you don’t have someone who specializes in that you can end up in real trouble. The reason clients choose to work with me is because I have been trained by the best people in the world in how to conduct a criminal case. I have had experience dating back to 1994 in practicing criminal law and now I’ve started a law firm where our philosophy is no matter what your case is, big or small, we take all that experience and all that training and we put it into getting you the best result possible.
