Law Offices of Benjamin Cates

I never thought I would need an attorney for a traffic matter, but I am so grateful I found Attorney Ben Cates. From the very beginning, he was honorable, respectful, and incredibly thorough. Ben takes the time to look at every angle of a case, ensuring nothing is overlooked. What impressed me most was how collaborative he is—he makes the process feel efficient and effective, working with you rather than just for you. His professionalism and dedication gave me confidence throughout the entire process. I cannot recommend Ben highly enough for anyone in need of legal representation.

Ben was a fantastic lawyer! I hired him back in August of 2021. Finally as I write this review my case was closed and he handled all of it. I cannot thank this man enough. If you're military as well this is the guy you need to hire!!

Benjamin Cates will fight for you. I recommend him if you are looking for a great attorney. Contact him yourself to see .

Ben helped me with my DUI case. He was very helpful when I was going through a rough time. Ben helped me keep my driver's license and my job, thanks to him I got my DUI charges dropped to a misdemeanor. Ben was very good with communication, either by text or a call he was always responsive. I highly recommend his services for DUI defense.

Mr. Cates was referred to us, he was fantastic. He was extremely professional, upfront, honest & had open communication w us at all times. Our family member definitely benefited from his expertise. Do NOT hesitate to hire him, you won't regret it!

Mr. Cates represented me in a DUI case back in 2016 (.156 BAC, 20mph over the speed limit). After calling around to multiple attorneys who all said my only hope was to plead guilty or hope for a “wet reckless”, I was referred by another attorney to Mr. Cates. He told me to wait and ended up delaying the case on my behalf to accommodate the timeline for what he anticipated would be a change in legislation governing DUIs in the legal district for the southern half of California. As a result, a .156 BAC, 20mph over speed limit DUI became a dismissal and $600 fine. Mr. Cates was easy to work with and was quick to respond to all questions I had. I highly recommend Ben Cates as an attorney.

I used Ben and so happy as he did a great job and he is so easy to talk to and always answers your questions and keeps in touch.. you can be assured he has your back … thanks Ben. Can’t say enough great things and glad I found him as my lawyer

Ben did an amazing job on my case! He worked very hard with the DA and always answered all the questions I had. He was very easy to get in contact with and always communicated with me throughout the whole process. I would definitely recommend Ben to all of my family and friends.

I am super happy and thankful with Mr. Gates he help me with a legal issue back in 2016 And I recently needed help for another issue six years later he still had the same number and I reached out to him and he helped me right away and now everything result thank you so much.

Ben was a such a fantastic person and a great help for me! I would recommend hiring him! His professionalism is on point and second to none, outstanding person!

I don’t even know where to being with Benjamin, he is worth his weight in gold! As a fellow veteran, I felt an immediate sense of comfort with him and knew I was exactly where I needed to be the moment I met him for a consultation while explaining through tears my dire situation. Ben never makes a client feel like a nuisance as he is readily available to answer questions throughly and with the best patience. Benjamin doesn’t give up no matter how bleak the situation looks! I was accused of very serious crimes that would of hindered my character in Family Court and also nearly cost me my career in the Navy , but Ben exercised the law to the best of any criminal attorney’s ability out of all of SoCal and did not allow for false accusations to ruin my relationship with my kids or my career to go down the drain. Ben did more to help my family than any other lawyer has and I’ve been through a couple already ! 2020 was not a good year, but running into Benjamin Cates was one of the bigger blessings amidst a vicious accusation, pending my custody battle. Things are looking up, thank God for Ben Cates 🙏🏼

Amazing person to represent you. Even with the long delay of Covid. Benjamin was very prepared and had a plan and stayed with it. Getting my dui dismissed. Would use him again! Highly recommended

Helped my father with his criminal case. He was able to get the charges dropped with no criminal record added. Great attorney that will help you as well.

Benjamin Cates is a very talented and knowledgeable attorney. My friend had an entire deck of cards stacked against him and his career was on the line when we found Ben to represent him and fight his DUI case. Ben was able to find the weakness in the prosecution and build the perfect defense....the only defense. Through his determination and knowledge of the law and the appeals process he was able to secure a complete dismissal of the case. Be careful when putting your future in someone else's hands...If you need someone skillful and agressive to defend you, go with Ben Cates. He's the right choice.

Benjamin is an amazing attorney. He is very friendly and understanding. Very easy to talk to and explains everything you have questions on. In addition, he is very quick and efficient. He resolved my case in less than a month. He took care of everything himself. Not once did I have to appear in court. He is very experienced and I would definitely recommend him to anybody.
