David Benowitz Leads Multi-State Defense Operations
David Benowitz has spent 22 years operating as a high-profile criminal defense attorney with a practice focused on thorough and aggressive representation. Across state lines, the firm deploys specialized litigators tailored to local jurisdictions. In Maryland, Kush Arora handles District and Circuit Court cases, backed by an AV Rating from Martindale-Hubbell and recognition as a Top 100 Trial Lawyer by the National Association of Trial Lawyers. Seth R. Okin also practices across Maryland, personally appearing in 23 of the state’s 24 counties.
Further south, Dayne Phillips has secured not guilty verdicts in felony jury trials, successfully argued before the South Carolina Court of Appeals and the Supreme Court of South Carolina, and secured the dismissal of a murder charge at a preliminary hearing. Chad Propst practices alongside him in South Carolina, holding credentials from the National Institute of Trial Advocacy.
Former Prosecutors Build Empathetic Defense Strategies
Clients use lawyers with direct experience from the opposing side of the courtroom to manage complex judicial systems. Jessica Baldwin utilizes over 15 years of experience as a prosecutor to build empathetic defense strategies. Caroline Henderson applies a background in prosecution and courtroom litigation to cases in the Richmond area. Cherita A. Lewis brings a foundation in legal analysis and prosecutorial experience to clients facing charges across Northern Virginia.
Federal and state court representation forms another core pillar of the practice.

Marvin Ochoa handles matters ranging from minor traffic infractions to serious felonies throughout Maryland. Christopher Thomas manages felony cases and serious offenses in Baltimore and surrounding areas, while Jackson Fenner covers misdemeanors and felonies across Tennessee.

Comprehensive case preparation requires investigative resources. Gieta Nejad serves as a private investigator specializing in criminal defense support. On the legal front, Andrew Lindsey brings a specialization in civil rights and criminal law earned at William & Mary Law School, where he graduated cum laude in 2014.
Client relations and direct accessibility remain central to the firm’s daily operations.

Sukhpreet “Vick” Singh emphasizes continuous communication to guide clients through procedural steps, and Ashley Wilson consults on charges including reckless driving, petit larceny, trespassing, expungements, and gun rights restorations.
