David Ashley Haenel

I consulted Mr. Haenel on a speeding ticket matter and he handled is extremely professionally. He got all the information about my situation in great detail and told me after our consultation “Don’t worry I’ll take care of everything.” Which he did! I received the absolute best result for my situation which looked pretty grim. I highly recommend Mr. Haenel!

I was in an accident and totaled my car back in August and caused 65,000 of property damage and left the scene of the accident. David settles my case out with adjudication withheld me only having to complete a 4 hour driving course online, and 831$ total in fines and court fees to be paid in 30 days. No probation, no community service hours, no hassle no headache! This man did things I did not even fathom being capable in court, he got me everything I wanted and more and I will be recommending his representation to everyone! I’m really happy I took the recommendation from a family friend to have him represent me, it was by far the best decision I have ever made

September 2017 I went to The Law Place, referred from 2 friends who had been very successful there, not knowing where to turn. I had managed to put myself into a situation that landed me in big trouble. DUI 2nd offense! I met with David and he, with little details to go off of (nothing was uploaded at the clerk of courts office yet), took the time to explain each route we could go down with the details I shared. With his direction and experience we worked together for a year and 8 months trying to resolve each detail that had transpired. I’m so fortunate to have found David and his assistant Marla. With his patients and knowledge ALL of my charges were dropped. In the beginning he advised me it was very unlikely that we would be able to get through this without a trial. He and his team worked what seemed effortlessly over the months as my case was passed around by the states attorneys office, pre-trial hearing after pre-trial hearing with manatee county constantly rescheduling my motions over and over, we finally got in front of the judge. My motion to suppress the evidence had my emotions heightened. I, not really having much faith in the system, was amazed how attentive my attorney was in capturing every detail or what seemed to me as false information given to the judge by the other side. They argue with pure and just the right amount of aggressive expertise. Then after this long battle I received the phone call. ALL CHARGES WERE DROPPED. The judge was able to provide multiple pages of reasons why he felt this was an unlawful stop because of all the hard work The Law Place, specifically David and Marla, had put into my case. I just want to say Thank you for the constant communication and not giving up! Answering all my emails and phone calls with a sense of urgency and not letting it slide. I highly recommend David to be on your side!

We retained David Haenel when my son was issued a rather serious traffic citation that we felt to be unfair. We didn't know what to expect, as we have not had a need to hire any type of defense attorney previously. David exceeded all expectations in getting the case dismissed completely. I'm so happy that we found David, and didn't just accept a citation that we didn't agree with.

Mr. Haenel handled a traffic matter for me in Manatee county. He managed to get my ticket completely dismissed at a hearing. I would highly recommend Mr. Haenel to handle your ticket needs.

Interacting with David over the past 12+ years as he has represented me on various matters has been a true privilege. I have seen firsthand his dedication to clients, his supreme knowledge of the law, and his confidence in arguing for justice in open court. It is crucially important to hire Mr. Haenel should you ever become involved with the justice system or law enforcement. Protect and defend your God-given, constitutionally-protected rights (along with your driving privileges) at all costs.

Not only is David extremely skilled at what he does, he is a really nice person. Very supportive. Very clear in his explanation of Florida law related to traffic tickets. We picked him because of his reviews...and they were dead-on. He was professional all the way and got our son's case dismissed. We're very grateful we found David and hired him.

Mr. Haenel recently represented me for an issue that could have had some serious consequences. His office staff as well as himself we're on top of every thing from start to finish. My case was dismissed! I WOULD RECOMMEND HIM TO ANYONE.

I cannot thank David Haenel enough for the way he handled my case from beginning to end. Unfortunately my case involved a crash with a fatality which took over a year to resolve. Mr Haenel was always available when I contacted him, and he was able to have the citation dismissed in court. I could not be more grateful to Mr. Haenel and his team. I could not recommend Mr. Haenel and his team enough.

David seamlessly handled my traffic ticket and kept me informed throughout the entire process. The best part of hiring David was getting the news that my ticket was dismissed! Look no further for all of your traffic ticket needs. Wonderful staff and service as well.

Mr. Haenel and his team are excellent. From the first call (personally with Mr. Haenel even before being hired) to the quick resolution of my family's legal issues, every step of the way was positive and helpful from each attorney and assistants involved. Mr. Haenel took what could have been a very scary situation, even as a misdemeanor, and guided us through with care and compassion. The end result couldn't have been any better, as he and his team were able to get everything cleared and what was a pristine record restored to its original state. I would highly recommend a call to Mr. Haenel if you find yourself in need of legal assistance (and I wouldn't try going it alone!)

Mr. Haenel and his entire team were successful in getting charges dropped in a very challenging case. He showed not only his legal expertise, but also compassion and concern for us during the long process. His availability and communication was helpful and reassuring. We could not have asked for better representation or a better outcome. Our gratitude to him and his entire staff for their hard work on our behalf.

David and his team were able to procure the best possible outcome for me in a DUI charge, reckless driving adjudication withheld. Because of David Haenel and his team I am able to keep my job. They were extremely helpful and guided me through the process. All of my questions were answered right away. David even called after hours and on the weekend. Highly recommended.

I cannot say enough about the professionalism of David Haenel. He was referred to me by a neighbor for a serious moving violation my grandson incurred while staying in Sarasota over the summer. After contacting his office the afternoon of the citation, David returned my call that evening to explain the details of how he would proceed if obtained. He was spot on with his facts and was able to have the citation "totally dismissed" due to the laws in Florida. Mr. Haenel appeared in court on our behalf and immediately called with the results. I would highly recommend Mr. Haenel to friends in need of a good attorney.

I put myself in an unfortunate position and after hours of research I knew I needed an attorney and fast! I found David online and read his reviews and felt confident he was the guy I needed. I called David and explained my situation he immediately informed me of the consequences for my actions but felt he could help. I hired David and worked directly with him and his extremely helpful secretary Marla. David told me what I needed to do before my hearing and I did everything he said. I never had to appear in court David did everything, he fought to save me from what could have impacted my life forever. My end result was a $113 fine and 8 hour DDC course, thank you David for everything you did to help me and protect my future! You and Marla are the best!
