Professional and Empathetic

Christopher Hemmel has been a big role in my journey to stability and freedom, not just in the judicial system but as a mentor for future endeavors. His strong determination to fight for his clients to provide the best outcome possible holds very true to my cases. He is reasonably priced and his valu...e is substantial to what he brings to the table. I am forever grateful for this man and will continue my walk in this life humbled by the fact god and himself were able to give me this opportunity to be a better person.

Highly recommend

If you want a compassionate, direct, honest, thoroughly prepared lawyer who cares about his clients you want Chris Hemmel. Chris helped with my son's case to get the best outcome for the charges. He went above and beyond to assure we both felt comfortable in court. And supported us through the proce...ss.

Best possible outcome due to having the best lawyer

I picked Christopher Hemmel to be my lawyer initially because he had a complete understanding of my case and seemed that he was truly willing to advocate for me. The amount in which he did so, was not just the fact that he cares, has a vast understanding of the law and an outstanding relationship w...ith everyone in the justice center. He also has an incredible ability to think on his feet. During my sentencing the DA had dropped a surprising modification that not only Chris and myself were not aware nor prepared for, but the judge also was taken by surprise. The DA had tried to triple the amount of time for my sentencing without informing any of us. Chris preceded to take control of the situation; after he advocated for me in front of the court and discussed numerous facts about my case, he took a sidebar with the judge and ensured that I would not suffer what the DA had intended for me. Grateful does not come close to how I felt in that moment I was truly speechless and in shock. I do not want to know where I would be with out Christopher Hemmel, and can assure you that if you’re in need of a lawyer, that you don’t want to find out where you will be without Chris either.

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.

Finally found an attorney I respect.

Until I retained Chris Hemmel to represent me, I've never been inspired with quality of legal counsel I engaged for professional or personal matters. Cost was always a mystery and I never got a straight answer about hourly billing I asked as a client. Attorney Hemmel presented the cost of legal ser...vices the first day we met. The cost was reasonable, reasonable, and throughout the course of my case did not deviate. There were no surprises and I respected that. Attorney Hemmel is a user friendly professional and well connected with district attorneys and prosecutors in Delaware County. I was concerned and anxious about citations received for harassment in association with arguments with my neighbor. Options were discussed but during the hearing Attorney Hemmel convinced the District Attorney to dismiss all charges pending completion of an anger management course. I didn't agree that I was guilty in the first place but at the end of the day having charges dismissed was the best outcome. I feel Attorney Hemmel's manner and connection Delaware County Courts were cause for the success. I respect Attorney Hemmel as a legal professional and person and would not hesitate to retain again.
