Amazing Experience with Mr. Hassett!

I wish to acknowledge the outstanding legal work recently performed by Kenneth Hassett of Hassett & Associates, P.A. I hired Mr. Hassett to assist me as a victim of a criminal case. Mr. Hassett provided me with excellent communication as well as suggestions throughout the entire process. Mr. Hassett... was very considerate when it came to exhibiting extensive legal knowledge in this matter and was truly helpful during this time of emotional turmoil for me personally with regard to my feelings. I highly recommend Mr. Hassett for any legal work you may have in mind, and I am always available, if need be, for an in-person recommendation. Do not hesitate should you need a criminal defense attorney! Mr. Hassett is the best; I am grateful to have found him!!

Ken Hassett and his law firm are a pleasure to work with. He's honest, clear in communication, dedicated, has great follow through, he's friendly and professional. He helped our family to clear up a case involving our teen, he guided us from day one to our final day, resolving our situation satisfac...torily. I would highly recommend Ken Hassett's law firm and we would certainly retain him in the future if ever needed.

Outstanding Lawyer

I was facing 5 1/2 years of prison time for a 4th DUI felony charge. After 3 months of intensive negotiations with the DA, Mr Hassett was able to get me probation which was at the beginning close to a mission impossible task. My experience during this period was excellent, Mr Hassett besides doing a...n excellent job, he was the only person that kept in touch with me with updates, never used a secretary or assistant to do it for him. He is one Lawyer that if he takes your case, he will handle the case himself 100% without delegating any process of the case to other members of his firm. I made the right choice of hiring a great lawyer that delivered more than I was expecting. Results with a happy ending like this one, only happen when you hire a great Lawyer like Mr Hassett. Finally, if you want to hire a High Quality Lawyer that will get you great results, his fees should never be considered an obstacle to your decision. Thank you Mr Hassett for allowing me to stay out of jail so I can continue to stay home with my 11 year old son and wife.

Extraordinary Lawyer. Exceeds Expectations.

I was charged with multiple misdemeanors and a felony during a spring break trip. Since he was first contacted, Mr. Hassett was on the front-lines putting in every effort to release me from holding in the middle of the night. Upon release, Mr. Hassett first comprehensively communicated to me the grav...ity of all charges from which he mapped all possible repercussions. He next reassuringly delineated the strategy he constructed that would reach the best possible outcome. As my proxy, Mr. Hassett kept me informed at every milestone while my residence was out-of-state. As a result, all charges were dismissed and I have further employed his services to pursue measures that will secure my identity. After researching his presence in the Miami-Dade law community, he has proven himself to be well-respected and well-networked among the Miami-Dade professional organizations. Mr. Hassett's dedication to his craft exceeds all expectations, as such, his pricing matches his proficiency as a lawyer. I whole-heartedly recommend him to any prospective clients.

"I am writing to highly endorse attorney Kenneth Hassett, Esq. I have known "Kenny" for nearly twenty years as a friend; as fellow attorneys who worked together in the same office for the first several years of our respective professional careers; and now as a very well-respected; talented; and experienced colleague in the community. I warmly recommend Mr. Hassett and his firm to any member of our community who finds that he or she requires the benefit of a knowledgeable and seasoned trial attorney, whose friendly, understanding, and approachable demeanor distinguishes him from many attorneys who lack the ability to place an individual, who has suddenly found him or herself immersed in the worst situation imaginable, at ease and allow him or her to set aside the fear and anxiety that any individual charged with a criminal offense experiences, knowing that he or she now has now had that burden lifted by someone who is not only highly skilled,but who is also TRUSTWORTHY AND COMPASSIONATE"
