Meet Our Attorney Team

Arik Benari

Founded by Arik Benari in 2001, The Benari Law Group is a diverse team of criminal defense attorneys who share more than 50 years of experience, drawing from a range of professional backgrounds and prior legal work.

Mr. Benari has a reputation for hiring the smartest and most talented attorneys in the industry to make sure that you get the best possible defense. With the perfect mix of former prosecutors and seasoned defense lawyers, we cover all the bases so that you know you have a top-rated team standing with you and fighting to win your case.

Our Defense Makes A Difference

The best defense comes from an in-depth understanding of your story and your needs. That’s why we invest in getting to know you and the charges that you have been accused of. We pull details from the facts that you didn’t even know were there, and then we find a way to build a defense that matches your needs and expectations.

We won’t overwhelm you with legal jargon and complexities — we will tell it to you straight. Our lawyers will explain how the criminal justice system works, but also how the system works differently when you retain experienced legal representation from our firm. We want you to understand the benefits that we have to offer, and we want you to understand all of your options so that you get the best outcome possible.

In Pennsylvania, fines for drunk driving can cost thousands of dollars, your license may be suspended and you may face jail time. The penalties for DUI/DWI are strict, but can still be negotiated. With offices in Media, West Chester, Philadelphia, Doylestown and Norristown, The Benari Law Group has extensive experience representing people who have been accused of driving under the influence of alcohol, illegal narcotics or prescription drugs.

We know the DUI court system, and we use tried and tested methods to have charges dismissed or have penalties substantially reduced to protect your record.

Unlawful Evidence Cannot Be Used Against You

State and federal rules determine whether or not evidence is reliable. Our criminal defense lawyers will review the facts of your case with scrutiny and examine the state’s evidence for error or unlawful obtainment. Often, we are successful in proving that the police improperly stopped your vehicle or searched you illegally. Our examination may also show that the chemical testing process was contaminated, or that the testing equipment used was faulty or improperly used. Whether your DUI case involves alcohol, illegal drugs or even prescription or over-the-counter medications, having a member of our experienced legal team on your side can make a huge difference. Joined with our knowledge of DUI law, our negotiation and litigation experience make for a powerful defense.

Underage Drinking And DUI

In addition to fines and other immediate penalties for underage drinking or DUI, the offense goes on your child’s permanent record. This makes it harder to secure a job or to be accepted to priority schools. Protect your child’s career and education prospects by hiring a lawyer who can defend his or her record and advocate for an alternative sentence.

A Note For First-Time Offenders

If this is your first DUI arrest, it may be in your best interest to consider Pennsylvania’s ARD (Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition) program. Only first-time offenders are eligible, and the program allows you to skip lengthy court procedures and the stress of trial. Contact us for more information.
