Having spent the entirety of his professional career fighting for people accused of DUI and other crimes in Washington DC, he really understands what it takes to successfully navigate the ordeal that you face when you are arrested for drunk driving.

Attorney Benowitz understood early on that, although sometimes the best results in a DUI case don't come by going to trial, in order to succeed at any and every stage in the DC DUI process, an attorney must possess two things. The first is a desire to win, which natually wins to tireless and complete preparration of every case. The second is a solid skill set and track record in the courtroom. David's has devoted his entire career to becomming the best possible trial attorney, and prides himself on being the best preparred attorney whenever he enters a courtroom.

David graduated Cum Laude from the University of Pennsylvania, and with honors from The George Washington University School Of Law.
