Excellent Criminal Defense
When my family and I contacted Mr. Bender for my self-defense case, he was prompt in contacting us back, and he was able to work with my communication issues for the trial. We kept in regular contact and he gave me updates of what he and his team needed. The day of my trial came and he presented every piece of evidence and utilized almost every opportunity presented to him to convey to the judge the truth of the situation and my innocence. Mr. Bender and his team gave me my life back.

I hired David in a moment of crisis in my life, and he was able to get me the best outcome possible in my case. He was communicative (Very important, and different compared to other lawyers that I’ve had dealings with), honest, realistic, and worked very hard to get the results that I needed. Thanks David!

The courtroom presence you need
Elliot Bender is the lawyer you want should you find yourself unjustly accused in a criminal matter. His methodical and thoughtful approach to my case amassed the required evidence to disprove the charges against me. Additionally, his years of successful criminal defense provided him the intuition to look and investigate for evidence showing negligence on the part of my accusers, which opened a pathway to civil compensation for my losses. Elliot’s skills of examination and cross examination in the courtroom are without equal.

I have known Elliott Bender for over 15 years and work closely with him on very serious cases, both criminal and civil. He never gives up the fight. His associate, David Reinhardt, is a very knowledgeable and articulate counselor that I refer the most difficult civil cases too. This firm is top notch! I highly recommend this firm for all your legal needs.

I want to thank you for all the time and hard work you spent on my latest incidents. Your advice guided me on the right track in order to receive minimum punishment. You saved what could have been the worst senior year imagined due to poor and stupid decision making. You are truly the “miracle man“. My goal is to never see you inside the courtroom.

Elliott Bender and his associate David Reinhardt represented our company in a complex real estate matter. We were quite pleased with the aggressiveness of our defense and could not have asked for a better outcome. Mr. Reinhardt was knowledgeable in the law involving our case. Would highly recommend using their services.

Awesome Lawyer
I hired David as my lawyer and he did an amazing job. This was my first time getting in trouble for anything. I was wrongly accused of assault and battery on an officer and disorderly conduct. During the process I was very frustrated with any and everything that had to do with my case. Be listened to all of my many questions and concerns. David had many different offers thrown at us and helped me choose the right one to get both of my charges dismissed. I had to do a few things i did not want to do Of course to get them dismissed but it was well worth it in the end. I thank David so very much for his hard work and dedication helping me getting my charges dismissed.

Amazing trial lawyer
When I saw David in Chesterfield court room for probation hearing the first time, I (and the other 20 people in court) watched him methodically lower the 3.5 year max sentence to 2 weeks! At that point I knew that if I had to go to another trial he’d be my lawyer. My contractor was expecting 6-12 months so this was a miracle.
When I hired him a year later he got my case thrown out in Richmond. So far people haven’t tried again, probably because they knew David would kick it out again.

Best of the best!
I hired David to represent me for a felony traffic violation that I’d incurred as an out-of-state resident. David went above and beyond expectations to work very hard on my behalf to get my charge amended to a misdemeanor conviction. David had a hard task ahead, but he stopped at nothing to make sure that my end goals were always kept in mind and that we found a proper solution to the dilemma I was faced with. When I require further legal counsel for anything in the future, David will without doubt be the first person I call. Working with David is always a pleasure. He’s very professional, always early and on time for court, and knows how to play the right cards to get the best results for his clients. Thanks Dave!

Fantastic!
I contacted David after I received a charge that would definitely affect my employment. He laid everything out very coherently as was straight up with everything from the start. He definitely did his research and was prepared for my case which had a lot of variables in it. He was able to get my charge dismissed completely and off my record. David is good and thurough. I will definitely utilize his services again for any legal trouble I may have in the future. Thanks again David!

Recently had a family member totally misrepresented by a supposedly star criminal defense lawyer. That guy couldn’t even handle the preliminary. Obviously we replaced him. Mr. Bender stepped in and not only saved the day but restored my faith in the entire judicial system which I’ve been a part of nearly 40 years myself. Mr. Bender really is Top Shelf Defense… Don’t risk your freedom with the wrong attorney!

Excellent lawyer
When I first hired David I was looking at a year in jail minimum. His knowledge of the judge allowed him to properly prepare my case. He listened intently to my story, gathered the facts and delivered them in court in such a way as to move the judge away from the minimum guidelines. Instead of 1 year it was reduced to 10 days. When I called him he always called back in short order even if only to assertain the criticality and schedule a time when we could talk. He was very knowledgeable of the laws pertaining to my case yet reviewed them just to make sure there were no surprises when we went to court. He was always well prepared at each step.

Wonderful!
David was fantastic to work with. He represented us in a recent contract dispute case in which he was given minimal time to prepare. Despite the short term around time, the case resulted in our favor. David arrived early, was extremely well prepared, and represented us very well. His professionalism during the trial was outstanding. I would highly recommend David!

Encyclopedic knowledge of the law
David Reinhardt’s encyclopedic knowledge of the law was key in my successful trial defense against unjust criminal charges brought against me. He used his knowledge of the law to think, act and file motions strategically, putting my accusers at an immense legal disadvantage. His ability to present and argue his motions before the bench is without equal. David combines this with the ability to explain these matters in an understandable way to a person unfamiliar with the law.

Awesome!
All I can say is that Mr. Reihnhardt took my case and was thorough with every detail. He followed through on every possibility and researched every aspect of the case. He researched the history of the client, the actual case and even followed up with making sure the case was closed correctly. He had the right balance of knowledge, integrity and compassion. I would recommend him to anyone. Thank you so much.

Review of David C. Reinhardt
Mr. Reinhardt helped me win a zoning ordinance. He efficiently and thoroughly prepared for the case,letting me know the best and worst case scenarios. Although I was prepared to appeal the case, the case was dismissed and an appeal was unnecessary. The positive outcome of my case was due to Mr. Reinhardt’s conscientious nature, work ethic, and knowledge.

I had a reckless driving ticket and hired Mr. Reinhardt as my lawyer. He genuinely cared about getting this off my record and worked hard preparing for the case, making sure he didn’t leave any stone unturned. He is honest, upfront and has excellent communication skills and will do all in his power to help you. Very smart and on the ball and comes very well prepared and organized to court. I highly recommend Mr. Reinhardt!
