Christopher Adam Hemmel

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.

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,

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.

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.

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.
