"When I first contacted the law firm Mr Phillips was immediately available to meet with me and listen to what I had to tell him. He was very informative and professional. I had no idea what my chances were for my case but after listening to what I had to say he told me immediately what he could do for me and the likelihood of being exonerated. The fees were straight forward, no hidden costs and the firm allowed me to make payments which was helpful. Action was taken immediately on my behalf, When, I was risked losing my nursing license Price Benowitz was able to prevent it from happening, which allowed me to continue working. And without having to worry constantly about my case. Whenever any court dates were coming up his Legal Assistant would notify me and remind me of the dates and times of upcoming hearings. Mr. Phillips and the law firm was always available for any questions I had. I’d certainly recommend Dwayne Phillips, I was able to trust him with my case and focus on life. Now I am currently working for Department Of Juvenile Justice.. Thank you Dwayn Phillips"

"Dayne was absolutely phenomenal, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. Throughout the judicial process, I was very grateful for his professionalism, honesty, competence, and proactive communication. It was readily apparent from my interactions that judges, colleagues, and law enforcement personnel alike all respected him. He has an excellent demeanor; he is honest and fair. There is no better feeling than to know you are supported by someone who knows the law; Dayne did that and more."
