Benton S. Duffett III

Skilled and Compassionate Guidance Through a Difficult Divorce

I engaged Benton Duffett of Grenadier, Duffett, Levi, Winkler & Rubin to represent me in a complex and emotionally charged divorce involving significant assets and a contested custody arrangement. From our initial consultation at their Reston office, it was clear Mr. Duffett possessed a deep understanding of Virginia family law. He was able to clearly explain the legal landscape, including nuances I hadn't considered, which gave me confidence. His recognition by Best Lawyers in Family Law since 2020 was evident in his strategic approach; he was always prepared, and his negotiations were firm yet pragmatic, ultimately securing a settlement that protected my financial interests and parental rights far better than I had anticipated. His demeanor was consistently professional yet genuinely empathetic, which was invaluable during such a stressful time. The one area where I occasionally felt a slight delay was in email response times during non-critical phases, sometimes taking a full business day for a reply. However, when urgent matters arose, he was immediately accessible. Overall, I highly recommend Benton Duffett for anyone navigating family law matters in Northern Virginia. His five years of focused experience in this field, combined with his clear expertise, make him an excellent advocate.
