Chris Hemmel 5 Stars

I would not hesitate to recommend Chris for an attorney! He went above and beyond for me and got to the bottom on my case here in Florida for me and continued to communicate with my Florida attorney on my behalf. My attorney stated that Chris was very helpful and sent him information that helped my c...ase get dismissed. Not only is is knowledgeable and professional but he is a good person all around.I can't thank him enough.He is my go to for my family or myself for anything in the future in Pa.My only regret is that he dosnt practice in Florida.

CRIMINAL CASE

I received a letter in the mail stating I was being charged and could get jail time and a heavy fine. shortly after I received a letter offering Christopher Hemmel services. After my wife read his reviews and quickly spoke with him, he reached out to me. Chris was extremely friendly and helpful list...ening to my issue and quickly got back in touch with me to help me and accept my case. He met me at the court and completely handled everything and made a tough situation very smooth with a great outcome. Very professional and easy going, definitely highly recommend his services.

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.

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.
