From the very first phone call I felt confident that this attorney was more than that. His ability to convey very specific and concise strategies to overcome any obstacle - and which mine were many lol - elevated my confidence and this gentleman exponentially! Mr. Datika listens attentively to all the facts of your circumstance and gives you the sense that you are the only client that he has - that's how hard he works! Almost like he started to practice law just to represent you. Again, I will reiterate it doesn't matter what the circumstance was and in my case I have criminal and civil issues and Mr. Datika operated smoothly transitioning from one issue to the other and it felt like he could do it in his sleep. If a counselor is ever needed in any matter from small to big civil or Criminal Ben is the only route I would recommend. Ben is more than an attorney he's a super human being and intelligent negotiator and a brilliant strategist. I'm writing him and 11 out of 5 stars!

What can I even say about Mr.Dakita ? MONEY WELL SPENT. I’m from nyc and I was out there just joining my friend to go register a car. Long story short we got pulled over I gave em a false name I thought nothing of it , we’ll be on our way. I had 8 grams of marijuana individually packed in two different ways in a zip lock bag (not a big deal in nyc ) they’ll let Give it right bck laugh at you but they classify that as (controlled substance) out there in these common wealth states & give you 5 different charges for that. I was worried it had me very upset for a while. what can I say, I feel a lot of weight of my shoulder now. less than a year later, a month would of made a year but everything was resolved and I got the best outcome I could ask for .I feel like I dodged a big bullet and it don’t hurt to say it again MONEY WELL SPENT . So take care of Mr.Dakita and his law firm save your worries . They’ll take care of you he’s one hell of a dude With great tactics and great negotiation skills follow his lead he’ll take care you .

This was the first time I used Ben Datika as my lawyer. He was a great negotiator and very professional. He was always available to answer any questions and promptly returned phone calls. I was very happy with his representation and the outcome of my criminal case. I highly recommend him.

My nephew found himself in a difficult position without an attorney to represent him in a criminal matter. After extensive research I found Mr. Datika and my nephew retained his services. Mr. Datika immediately went to work and reviewed all aspects of the case. He remained in constant communication with my nephew and kept him informed every step of the way up to the date of his hearing. He inspired a sense of confidence and calm for my nephew at the most difficult time in his life. I would highly recommend that you secure the services of Mr. Datika if you, a family member, or friend ever finds themselves in a position of requiring the services of a Criminal Defense attorney.

Ben was very quick and profesional, handled my case and bench warrant quickly in the best possible way. Explained to me the whole process from beginning to end and explained all the possibilities and how to go best about the situation. Couldn’t have asked for better representation. Was absolutely pleased throughout the whole process and finally was at ease when heard of the final result. Thanks again Ben. Definitely recommend to anyone who needs a lawyer.

Ben from the very beginning was totally honest and answered all of my questions. He informed me that it was going to be a difficult case, but he was up for the challenge. I was very lucky to have found such a caring attorney. He truly cares about his clients, returns your call within 24 hours and is extremely thorough. Ben definitely went above and beyond and worked extremely hard. The outcome was truly remarkable and our family was blessed to have found Ben. If anyone is in need of a great lawyer I would highly recommend him. He is the best!!

Dear Mr. Datika, thanks for representing me and saving me from a record. You seriously overdelivered and made me feel like a million bucks every time we went to court. You explained the seriousness of this case to me and that it would be a difficult one to win, you explained that at the very beginning before accepting my case and gave me all of the options and realistic chances. You are the first and only lawyer I ever met that did not overpromise or brag or try to sell your services to me and get me to retain you. I really respect that you basically interviewed me and made sure I would be a good fit to accept as a new client. In fact your reputation led me to you and I knew that you are very selective with any new clients or cases you accept. I respect that you dont accept just any and everyone as a new client and that makes you stand out from other lawyers and shows that you are in demand for the work you do. Thanks for seeing the good in me and arguing for my innocence at trial. It was a stressful time for me and I was scared having to go through trial but you really made me feel comfortable seeing you arguing the best way possible to show that they werent my drugs and you gave it your all. It really showed at trial. It showed to me and it showed to everybody in court and that is why we won. You were not cheap but you always get what you pay for !!!! Thanks so very much for all that you did for me and I will always remember you !!!

Mr. Datika is an absolutely incredible lawyer. He spent considerable time and effort on my case/trial. He explained every detail every step of the way and was by my side in a very stressful, scary time. He also was successfully able to negotiate an INCREDIBLE deal that has allowed me to "get my life back". In any court hearing you feel tiny and alone but if you decide on hiring Mr. Datika he will be by your side and fight for you. He is caring, considerate, intelligent and very knowledgeable. I truly feel that if you should ever find yourself in need of a Criminal defense, DUI, or DWI attorney that Mr. Datika is the lawyer you should pick.
