I had the most heinous traffic ticket situation. I was accused of 115 in a 60 by a state trooper. Trooper said he could not tell what make and model my car was when he called in to dispatch. Mr. Haenel fought my case at trial and won. Mr. Haenel's extensive knowledge and experience proved invaluable ...in trying my case. Ultimately he defended me fantastically in this legal quagmire. I could not ask for more. 5 stars out of 5.

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.

HE'S THE BEST!! HANDS DOWN,NO ONE BETTER!! HE REALLY CARES FOR HIS CLIENTS FUTURE. BEST PERSON YOU CAN HOPE TO HAVE ON YOUR SIDE! wONDERFULLY BRILLANT IN COURT.KNOWS HIS STUFF! THOSE COPS BETTER HAVE THERE "T's" CROSSED AND THEIR "i's" DOTTED CAUSE HE WILL MAKE THEIR CASE FALL TO PIECES! CALL HIM. ...DONT WASTE YOUR TIME ELSEWHERE FOR TRAFFIC AND DUI. hE'S THE BEST!! THANK YOU DAVID !!!

I just got home from the court house. Cannot wait to share that David Haenel is one of the best lawyers in the district!!! If you want a highly qualified, well mannered, punctual, aggressive and passionate, understanding, and supportive. Those are just some of the words to describe David's qualities.... In his deliverance David is very precise and articulate. He was leading the hearing and was definitely creating the atmosphere of "we are going to find the truth here". Having him defend my case was the best decision. I'm not just saying that because he won my case, but because he deeply believed that I was not at fault. And he made that very apparent to the judge and people present. Basically, he took care of everything, all I had to do is show up for the hearing. Being very acquainted with numerous court personnel and law enforcement officers (must be through his extensive experience of working alongside with those people) David was a "fish in the right lake". Also, David was great with the evidence handling (video of the accident) . I'm very thankful for all the work he has done! I'm not looking forward to any court hearings, but in any case David Haenel would be my choice again. David, if you can read this... THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!

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.
