I was arrested and charged with DWI as well as ‘Refusal’ to submit to breathalyzer test at a Booze It & Lose It checkpoint in Wake County, NC. Needless to say, it was an extremely stressful situation to deal with as I was also undergoing chemotherapy treatment for terminal cancer at the time. The absolute last thing I needed was another major, life-altering situation. I immediately contacted Benjamin Hiltzheimer & was totally impressed by his straight-forward knowledge, professionalism, empathy and compassion. He treated me with respect and always made time address my questions & concerns, which went a very long way towards alleviating my anxiety so I could focus on the priority of my health. Ben’s integrity and diligence in proving the charges were false resulted in an outcome far beyond my expectations. Both charges were dismissed. I couldn’t be more pleased and want to convey my sincere thanks and gratitude for superb representation. If you’re in need of a lawyer who believes in justice and fights your fight like it was his own, I highly recommend Benjamin Hiltzheimer.

If anyone needs a criminal lawyer Ben is you who you want representing you. I was the victim of a domestic situation in which I found myself in a fight or flight position. This reaction resulted in numerous counts of felonies charges to include Assault with intent. These charges took a huge impact on my life and my career. I am happy to say that Ben was able to accept my case. During the initial consult he gave me his full attention, He listened to my side of the story and he demonstrated a caring genuine concern for the type of charges I had endure. He expressed his passion for justice, and in my case I had been dealt an unfair hand. Ben worked diligently on my case. His professionalism was amazingly outstanding, He always returned calls, he made himself accessible at all times. I was able to communicate with him round the clock ( 7/24) with every concern and questions. Considering the sensitivity of the severe charges I was given, Ben was able to successfully clear me 100% from all charges. Ben demonstrated his knowledge, experience and passion for justice through these results. I am eternally grateful for all the hard work he did on my behalf. I am now able to get back to my life and career. Thank You Ben Hiltzheimer.

After a low key New Year’s dinner, my worst nightmare happened. While driving home I was pulled and arrested for a DWI. Having never been arrested and having only a simple speeding ticket prior, to say the least I was having major concerns and stress over what next. I have never been in the legal system in my entire life. I researched online and contacted several attorneys. Most didn’t answer, some took messages, however Ben was back with me in 15 minutes. I had a lot of questions being the first time and he set up an appointment right away. After that initial interview, I knew I had my attorney. He was very detailed and supportive. He outlined clearly my next steps and spent hours working to get my case resolved. I truly felt he cared about my case. I cannot tell you enough how Ben’s persistence, patience, confidence and hard work saved me. He chipped away on the case until we finally got a break with evidence and errors. I truly believe that your understanding of the DUI trial process, dedication and the way you handled the case saved me from a conviction.
