David M. Benenfeld: Champion for the Injured

David M. Benenfeld has always had the heart of an advocate. From the beginning of his career, when he was first admitted to the Florida Bar in 1994, his focus has been clear: to serve employees who have suffered injuries on the job (workers’ compensation) and to advocate on behalf of those who were hurt due to someone else’s negligence (personal injury).

Advocacy Rooted in Community

David demonstrates his dedication to his community through his longstanding membership in the Florida Workers’ Compensation Division and his affiliation with the Florida Workers Advocates, where he has been promoting the rights of injured workers since 2007. His commitment to the legal community extended further as he is a long standing member of the Trial Practice Division of the Florida Bar, contributing to the foundation of trial advocacy within Florida’s legal circles. He is also an active member of the Broward County Bar Association, contributing his knowledge to the legal community.

Recognized Excellence

Throughout his career, David has not only pursued excellence but achieved it, earning his place among the elite in 2013 when he became a member of the Million Dollar Advocates Forum. This prestigious honor is reserved for trial lawyers who have won million and multi-million dollar verdicts and settlements—a testament to the difference he has made in the lives of his clients.

David’s distinction is also reflected in the trust and praise he receives from his clients, as showcased by the AVVO Clients’ Choice Awards he received for Car Accident cases and for Worker’s Compensation. These awards, determined by the quantity and quality of client reviews, signify much more than professional accomplishment; they indicate the deep trust David’s clients place in him.

A Reputation Built on Experience

David is known for his knowledge and understanding of Florida’s personal injury law and workers’ compensation law, and the strategies insurance companies often deploy to sidestep financial compensation to victims. His experience and savvy negotiation skills have won him the appreciation of his clients and earned the respect of his adversaries across the negotiation table.

The attorneys and adjusters he contends with recognize his reputation for loyally representing victims of accidents. They also acknowledge his dedication to the injured and his unwavering pursuit of justice as he pursues the maximum compensation allowed by law for his clients.

More Than a Lawyer

Outside the courtroom and the tough negotiations, David is approachable and genuine. To him, each case is more than just a professional obligation: it’s a personal commitment to help those in need. From giving honest legal advice to sharing moments of genuine connection with clients, he brings a sense of warmth and steadfast support that defines the character of his practice.

For over three decades, David has been a true advocate for the injured, a skilled negotiator, and a valued member of the Florida legal community. He represents what it means to turn a profession into a calling, all while keeping his feet firmly planted in the community that he cherishes and fights for every day. His practice just isn’t about the law – it’s about making a difference in the lives of those he serves.
