David provided the best experience in a bad situation. I was arrested for DUI in June and had originally hired another attorney. This is my first and last offense. Once I met David and discussed my options, I actually fired my original attorney (who was not providing much help and was not really inte...rested in my case) and hired David. He was extremely helpful, was quick to respond, and saved me from getting charged for my offense. My case was dismissed and I owe it all to David and his ability. I would recommend him to anyone I know who needs legal help. He was extremely attentive and by far one of the best. His staff is also very polite and helpful.

David Haenel is a ROCK STAR. I saw him at the courthouse moments before I was supposed to go into the courtroom, and was so impressed with the way he handled himself I tapped him on the shoulder and asked for his card. He offered to represent me on the spot. He already had an ironclad defense for m...y charge! He got my case dismissed right then and there. I would never go to court without David!

I don't usually rate but David is an excellent attorney. He brought a successful resolution of my DUI case that far exceeded my expectations. David explained everything in easy to understand terms and kept me informed throughout my case. Additionally, he laid things out, explained options and work...ed hard on my behalf. I won't hesitate to recommend him. I told David that I hope to never talk to him again but if I did ever need a defense attorney he would be my first call. Do yourself a favor and use this guy.

My wife received a DUI in Sarasota in Oct. 2009. Certain circumstances made her case particularly tough (property damage, a very high blood-alcohol level, etc.). We hired David and his firm, and they did a truly excellent job. My wife received as lenient a sentence as was possible; but David's help w...ent beyond his ability to negotiate a good deal with the prosecutor's office: he and his colleagues helped persuade my wife to do various things that would help her defense (attend AA, get therapy, etc.), and would also help her (beyond her legal woes, that is). Last summer, my wife received a 2nd DUI in another part of the state (yes, she has a problem, which she is now conquering). Although it had been several months since David had worked on her first case, I contacted him to ask for advice, and he was impressively generous and courteous with his assistance (in helping us finrd a lawyer on the east coast, among other things). I really couldn't recommend David and his firm highly enough: their diligence, skill, and professionalism are highly laudable.

I contacted Mr. Haenel to represent me in Seminole County after a moment of mid-life crisis stupidity. From the very first day I found he and his assistants to be nothing but professional. They sympathized with the position I was in and always told me the facts. Never did they promising anythi...ng they felt they could not deliver on, nor did they ever leave me feeling there was no hope. The court drug my case out for six months. Obviously worried, I called frequently and they always made time to speak with me. I was quite impressed the couple of times I called after hours and Mr. Haenel himself answered the phone. He took the time each time to talk to me at length. In the end I was quite pleased, and surprised, as adjudication in my case was withheld. Not only did Mr. Haenel resolve my most concerning aspects of the case he delivered far more. I truly cannot say enough to show my appreciation for his and his staffs skill. Highly recommend.
