Highly recommended

I received numerous letters from many attorneys but Mr. Hemmel's was the one that stuck out to me. It was the only one that was not generic like the others. I decided to give him a call and discuss being a potential client. From the get go Chris was kind and willing to fight for me to eliminate or le...ssen as many of the misdemeanor and summary offenses as possible. When I was worried about payment, he allowed me to go on a payment plan that was well within my budget. There was one instance where I had a family emergency that he even allowed me to postpone the payment. He was very understanding and courteous. Chris kept me informed during the entire legal process. I was prepared for the worst case scenario but it turns out that Mr. Hemmel was able to get all of my charges dismissed after a short time on probation and a handful of community service hours. I will be petitioning for expungement very soon and will again be hiring Mr. Hemmel. I have met lawyers before but none compare to Chris. He has a great personality, is very knowledgeable and will fight his hardest to get you the best possible outcome.

Try to find another esq.

Christopher Hemmel esq. sent a letter to my home asking to represent me. I obliged because I was in a bind, scared, and wanted to get the best representation. Upon speaking with C.Hemmel esq. I felt he would represent me and keep me in the loop of what was going on. As time carried on and the case c...arried on C.Hemmel esq. did not make well on his promise of basic client/lawyer rights. He stopped being available for my calls, he signed papers on my behalf without even notifying me or getting my consent first. Through research, calling around, and having a terrible experience with his representation, I found that C.Hemmel esq. was not the best and most cost effective lawyer that I could have found. I truly wish to warn others that are scared, in a bind, and just want the best out of a legal situation to choose another when dealing with C.Hemmel esq.

I strive to satisfy all my valued clients, but sometimes there are disagreements. I was able to get several serious felony charges dismissed for this client. When I had a disagreement with the client's girlfriend, he became angry, demanded his money back and threatened to sue, even though I had achieved a good result for him. When I refused to provide a refund, he published this negative review online. I sincerely wish the best for this gentleman, as I do for all my clients. However, no accomplished attorney can be expected to work hard for a client, achieve a favorable result for him, and then refund all his money at the end of the case.

Chris Hemmel Esq.. An Excellent Defense Attorney!

Chris Hemmel Esq., is an excellent criminal defense attorney. He will fight for you from beginning to the end. He will explain the entire process, and work diligently to win your case, which he did for me. It was my first time ever having to deal with the Pennsylvania court system. I was nervous,... scared, and at times very frustrated. But Chris was there every step of the way. He answered all of my questions, and explained the entire process in detail. I highly recommend Mr. Hemmel as your attorney, if you find yourself in need of one. He has been there for me, and I’m sure he will be there for anyone who is in need of his professional services.

Chris saved my life!

I received a letter from Chris, and many other lawyers, after getting arrested for marijuana possession. Chris Hemmel's letter stuck out to me because it was the only letter I received that gave any indication of aiming to lessen the charges given to me. As this was my first time being arrested, I wa...s very nervous that my whole life would be ruined if I was to be convicted. I made a few calls to lawyers but again, Chris was the only one who wanted to really fight the charges. Not only did he do that, but he helped keep me calm during the entire process. I ended up crying on multiple phone calls and he was there giving me the wisdom I needed. On the day of the trial, I was prepared for the absolute worst case scenario and thanks to Chris it turned out to be the best case scenario! My charges were dropped down to a summary offense of disorderly conduct, which immediately induced a wave of happy tears from me! Chris gave me amazing legal and life advice that I will surely never forget; he is so kind and knowledgeable and I am so grateful that he was able to take on my case and help put me on the right path.
