Spectacular

Chris is not only very professional, knowledgeable and prompt, but also very compassionate. He knew exactly how to handle my situation, and also was very sympathetic and wiling to listen to any of my questions and concerns. I definitely felt like he was with me every step of the way. When dealing wit...h the legal system, he was the one person I felt would talk to me like I was a human being,

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.

First DUI

Chris Hemmel was the absolute best lawyer I could ask for. I got my first DUI and was clueless on the process and who to choose for a lawyer, as this was also my first time doing something wrong. I received his letter in the mail and there was just something about his letter that made me feel comfort...able and I called him and told him my situation and immediately he put my fears at ease. He is an exceptional lawyer but an even better person. He didn’t treat me like a number he treated me like a person and never judged me and explained every step thoroughly. I am a very anxious person and he calmed me down in every phone call and text message. I hope no one ever gets in trouble with the law but if you do, I would HIGHLY recommend him to help you with your case. As I stated before this is my first run in with the law and I got a DUI, and he was responsive, has excellent knowledge of the laws, and made you laugh when you feel like the world is crashing on you. He made this experience painless and although I will not be doing anything to put myself back in these predicaments, he was the absolute best. I am forever grateful for him and the work he put in for me. I ended up getting accepted into the ARD program and no jail time. He did what was best for me and again explained everything to me throughout the process. I cannot stress enough how amazing he was for me in my case. He made me feel human and seen and heard, I made a mistake and he helped me see that this doesn’t define me. He is an amazing person and I would recommend him for any type of case, but definitely for DUI’s. Thank you, Mr. Hemmel, for everything you did for me, I am eternally grateful for you and your time and patience and knowledge. M.R.

Chris Slays the Dragon. Lies, Revenge, Corruption and Chris overcame it all with the truth!

On December 27, 2016, I was arrested in my home state of Tennessee, charged with four felonies and four misdemeanors, placed in solitary confinement. After 15 days, I was extradited to Delaware County, Pennsylvania. Then I met Christopher Hemmel who obtained my release within 18 hours of my arriving... in Delaware County. Without a doubt, I could tell that Chris wanted to sincerely know me as a person, and not by the charges that were listed on the piece of paper sitting on his desk. He took the time to review every charge and accusation and explain to me what it meant legally. He listened to my concerns and feelings about how these charges were not true, but merely a false and miserable attempt from my failed marriage to destroy me as a person. After our initial meeting, he began diligently putting together our defense to prove my innocence. During this painstaking time, Chris kept open lines of communication with friends and family that wanted to help prove these accusations as deceitful and untrue. Chris openly explained the possible outcomes and kept a realistic expectation of what could happen. Chris took the time to research, talk with anyone I asked him to, and read other similar case files to ensure my case was resolved fairly. He filed multiple motions with the court and successfully litigated the complete dismissal of all the felony charges. Moving forward, we continued the fight to dismiss the four misdemeanor charges. When the Commonwealth refused to dismiss the remaining charges, the case went to a full jury trial at my request. At trial, Chris brought my story to life. He filled the room with the same feeling of despair that I first felt as I was arrested. He made the jurors feel the sense of shock as I did when I was placed under arrest with no explanation as to why. He empathized how the original accusations were over 20 years old. Chris ensured I understood everything. To say he prepared me to stand trial would be an understatement. Chris thoroughly prepared me for every possible scenario. He kept a notepad that we used to communication with each other privately during the trial. His cross examinations of the Commonwealth were decisive. When Detective DeLuise took the stand, Chris destroyed his testimony and credibility. Chris just flat out shredded him. Chris forced him to state the required steps of a proper investigation. Then Chris made the detective admit that he had ignored all the required steps. I will forever be grateful to Chris and the way he effortlessly dismantled the DA�s case and the Commonwealth�s lies against me. He was able to achieve (what seemed like) the impossible. He did this by proving I did not do what I was accused of. Chris�s attitude and confidence did not waver once during this stressful time. But the prosecution�s case deteriorated and fell apart under his cross-examination. My family and I were thankful to have Chris leading this fight for my freedom. At trial, Chris kept an upbeat and sunny disposition. Even when I felt like I couldn�t fight anymore, Chris carried the weight of my sorrows and my desperation to prove my innocence. When I sat at the defendant�s table, knowing my family was sitting behind me listening and watching, feeling very isolated and alone, Chris always had words of encouragement. Having him at my side holding his bottle of Smart Water with a smile telling me he�s ready to fight for the outcome I deserved. I cannot express enough gratitude for all the hard work, time, patience, diligence, honesty, communication, empathy and caring for my case and for me as a person. If you ever find yourself in a situation where you need someone who will fight for your innocence, who will listen to you and provide you with the support and the knowledge you need, give Chris Hemmel a call.

John, thank you so much for your very kind words. To date, your case was the single most important case of my entire career. When you first came to me, it looked like a case of “he said / she said”, with each side having a different point of view. But, as more facts were revealed, it became plain to see that “she” was a liar and that you were telling the truth. Each time you and I discussed the facts of your case, your story was always honest and consistent. I knew you were innocent. This case began in 2016 and did not conclude until the end of 2022. During that very long time, nearly six years, it was always a pleasure to have you as my client, and to work with you toward a dismissal of the charges. It was, indeed, a long and difficult road. But, together, we were able to walk that road, one step at a time, until we achieved victory. I will always appreciate and be grateful for the confidence that you have placed in me, by allowing me to be your attorney and handle this very serious and difficult legal matter. Now, after nearly six years, your case is completed, and I wish you and your family all the best for a happy, relaxing and care-free life. Respectfully, Christopher A. Hemmel, Esq.

BEST ATTORNEY OUT HERE

I had the pleasure of having Chris represent me as my attorney. I received a letter from Chris as many attorney’s sent to me. From the jump Chris has been easy to talk to and making me feel like he was the best option for me no questions asked. Chris always kept it straight with me and never had me ...worrying about my case. He has always been there any day/time I had any questions for him. This man is a beast hands down. He could tell I was a good person and just made a dumb mistake which he said from the beginning. He got all the charges dismissed that I needed for me to continue my employment. I was charged with the lowest tier dui. This man will fight and fight till the end for you! You will not regret choosing him.
