David Haenel recently represented me in an HTO violation. For those of you who are unaware of this unforgiving traffic violation, it revokes your drivers license for 5 years after you have been caught driving with a suspended license 3 times in a span of 5 years. Sounds miserable, I know. However, I ...knew the repercussions of this traffic violation could be detrimental to my future, so I immediately sought the legal advice of a knowledgeable practitioner. When I began researching this issue I was unaware of my options, but not necessarily ready to accept the terms of my 5 year drivers license revocation. When I spoke to David for the first time, he brought me up to speed relatively quickly. He was able to provide me with an extensive overview of HTO’s, how he had handled cases such as these in the past, and how he could aggressively pursue my case in particular. After this conversation I knew David was the right attorney to represent me. I contracted with David for his legal services on April 21. While I was awaiting a verdict on my case, David and his legal staff were always open to answer any questions/concerns I may have had. They even kept me informed of important matters relevant to my case via email/phone. In result, on May 7, I received in the mail a formal letter from the Division of Driver License stating that my “driving privilege is not under revocation or suspension.” Basically, David had resolved my HTO violation in a little over 2 weeks time. Let’s just say I greatly appreciated his professionalism and promptness when it came to this serious matter. It was an overwhelming relief to know this had been taken care of. I encourage those of you who were in my position to not downplay the ramifications of an HTO violation. If you get caught driving during this time you can be sentenced for up to 6 months in jail. For all of you out there who have been sentenced with an HTO or who have minor/serious traffic violations, I highly recommend consulting with David Haenel before you go any further. Thanks once again David, you’re the man…

After the stress of my accident and then being given a ticket inappropriately by the investigating trooper, David's knowledge of the law and his professionalism in court, brought relief and closure. In my opinion, I could not have found a more knowledgeable attorney, who understood the problems this ...ticket caused and the need to right it. He knows his laws, knew how to prepare for us to win in court, and executed my case. The end result was best stated from the judge..., "not -guilty". You can't ask for any better result, nor attorney. Thanks again David!

Haenel and Finebloom -- Haenel in particular, from what I observed in the courtroom -- seem to be good DUI attorneys. Ultimately, I found that it was worth $3500 to hire them. For a long time, though, they left me at the mercy of an assistant who was not fully experienced or competent. She did not of...fer clear communications or advice; she did not respond quickly to emails; she confused me with other clients; and at times it seemed that she knew little about DUI legal issues or Florida law. At the end, though, Haenel came through; but for several weeks I was very nervous and not too optimistic, even though I had a relatively strong case
