Going into this dui #2 i thought that was completely done for. I remember using Finebloom and Hannel for a previous traffic infraction where my license was to be suspended for 5 years, well a short talk and a credit card later, i was free and clear, no suspention! So after meeting up with Darren and... Maria Ann I knew this is who i was going with. My future looked grimm, but with these two at my side i felt a lot more confident. They really pulled out all the stops, worked the timing with the case and we came out on top!! They were a great team and will absolutly recommend them to anyone. Thanks agian!

I was arrested for a DUI in April 2012. The circumstances in my case, for the most part, were definitely not in my favor. However, Darren found a huge flaw in my case and investigated thoroughly what this meant for me. In the end, the facts played out in my favor and my case was dismissed! Every... member of his team exemplifies true professionalism and dedication to handling your case. Mr. Finebloom has a amazing amount of knowledge when it comes to DUI law, and he shows it during the painstaking experience of a DUI. If I'm ever in this situation again, I know exactly who I will call. I STRONGLY suggest that you call Darren and his team to handle your situation as well! You will not be disappointed.

The final correspondence from Finebloom, Haenel & Higgins says it all; No points, No fine, No traffic school. Darren Finebloom and his firm did an exemplary job in handling my case and keeping me informed every step of the way in resolving this incident. Although I live in Miami, I was traveling th...rough Ft. Myers on my way to Tampa for my niece's graduation at USF. Even though it was no longer raining my car went into a serious hydroplane and I ended up crashing into the retaining wall in the center median on I-75. Luckily, my wife and I escaped with minor injuries but the car did not fare as well as it was "totaled." To add insult to injury, the FHP officer said he had to give me a citation for "Failure to use due care." A few days after the accident I contacted Finebloom, Haenel & Higgins law firm and spoke with Darren Finebloom. From that point on, Darren represented me at both the araignment and final hearing and the results speak for themselves; No points, No fine, No traffic school. Obviously, I was thrilled with the outcome and I owe a deep debt of gratitude to a very competent attorney, Darren Finebloom.

If you a reading this then you may be facing some type of traffic offense, (DUI, careless driving, etc.) or any other criminal charge. In my particular case I was accused of driving under the influence, DUI. Immediately after securing bond for my release I began the process of hiring an attorney. ...I have lived in Sarasota throughout my life and have a well-established network of friends and family who are attorneys, regrettably, none special in criminal. I promptly began to ask my friends and my brother if they knew of a great defense attorney. Please note that I referenced great not good. All of my friends referred Darren Finebloom. Lastly, I asked my brother for his opinion, not that he is not a talented attorney is his own right, but because his specialty is on the other end of the realm of law. I assumed he would not be as helpful. It was my brother’s advice that sealed the deal. In years prior he had been selected as a juror on a DUI case in which Darren was the defendant’s attorney. Due to Darren’s skill and knowledge of the law, he proved his client to be not guilty. My brother was so impressed with Darren’s performance, that when I sought his counsel on who I should retain as my attorney, my brothers replied, “I have known Darren for years, I have been a juror on one of his trial, and in Sarasota the law firm of Finebloom and Haenel are held in very high regards.” I called Darren’s office on a Saturday expecting just to leave a phone message. My phone call was answered and I met with him that same Saturday. Darren did everything possible to obtain a plea deal in order to avoid going to trail. Unfortunately, the State Attorney’s Office felt the evidence was strong enough for a conviction and did not warrant any type of plea deal. The State decided to proceed with the trial process. As anyone can possibly imagine going to trial may be one of the most traumatic events in one’s life. It certainly was in mine. Darren and Anne Marie were incredible; I was kept informed of everything that was transpiring and this greatly helped reduce my anxiety. Anne Marie’s cross examination of the state’s witness and Darren’s presentation of the facts literally destroyed the State’s case. The jury deliberated for less than fifteen minutes and came back with a NOT GUILY.

Darren Finebloom and associates did an excellent job representing me in court. From the beginning they seemed to understand the sensitive nature of my case. While they did not promise me the perfect result; in the end, they got the perfect result. His knowledge of criminal law is unmatched. Perha...ps the most striking thing that Darren said, was that he understood the magnitude of the case, it wasn’t something that he was going to take lightly and he would work as hard as possible for me. Wow! Darren is a lawyer that you can trust and put your faith in! I highly recommend him.
