Mr. Benvenuto and his assistant Jenny are absolutely the best! We were able to speak to Mr. Benvenuto over the phone on a Sunday morning soon after we called for help on a fake ID charge, we were totally surprised by his 24-7 availability! Frank and Jenny then started to work on the case promptly and successfully secured a Nolle Proseque (case dismissed). Frank's fee structure was transparent and reasonable, and Jenny was very prompt in replying to our emails, usually within minutes. They provided great anxiety relief and achieved the best possible outcome for their clients. If you, like us, find

What a pleasure it was to work with Frank. Very professional and very responsive. This was an international case which of course adds complexity. Frank and his team were able to get everything resolved and completed within 6 weeks. I couldn’t believe it. All charges were Nulloe Prosequi (not prosecuted), exactly as Frank said they would be! We are now working on a expungement which I have all the trust in Frank and his team to complete. As someone with little to no knowledge of law, I had a lot of uncertainty, Frank was more than happy to answer any questions and resolve any uncertainty. I could

On January i was stopped and arrested for DUI. I was charged with a total of 10 charges! The following day i looked up many dui lawyers. I saw all the good reviews about Frank and decided to call him. At that time Frank was on vacation and still answered my call and listened to everything i had to say. I hired him because he was honest and told me right away of the consequences i would be facing. Mr. Frank knew the situation and high risks i had especially being charged with dui and dwi with minors in car! He told Me EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE OK.. that he was gonna do everything to get me out of

To preface, I'm an experienced civil litigation attorney based in Los Angeles. I needed a criminal defense attorney to represent my nephew in Ocean City, Maryland. The stakes were VERY high for my nephew, as he was facing career-ending and life-altering criminal charges. As a result, my expectations for representation were very high.
I spent a lot of time weeding out other attorneys based on the initial consultation. There were plenty of other attorneys who said what I wanted to hear, but being an attorney myself, I'm very cautious of overpromising and underdelivering, which is what I encountered
