In the wee hours of the morning, David Haenel promptly returned our desperate call for help. A family member was in trouble, and needed a lawyer. From the very first call and visit, David educated us on the charges and guided us through each of the legal steps to resolve the case. He was always tru...thful and never misled us. Both David and Marla were readily available and responsive to all our questions and kept us updated as the case proceeded—no matter how often we called. We could not have been more impressed with the professionalism and care that both David and Marla demonstrated through this most difficult time. We are confident that no other lawyer could have negotiated the positive result for our family member, and we will be forever grateful.

David Haenel exudes every aspect of expertise in his law practice. I was in a world of uncertainty and fear after being pulled over, arrested, and then thrown in jail for a DUI.. Devastated and confused as to "what do I do next?", I made that call that no one wants to make... To a lawyer who, you ...know nothing about! After only one exchanged email, I found myself a couple hours later on skype with David explaining and reviewing the night of my arrest...on a weekend! Every question I had, he answered precisely and in detail so I could understand every angle. Walked me through every thing that would happen from that day forth and how it would be handled. Was there at ANY time, ANY day I needed him to answer a question, either through text, email, or by phone. David diligently combed through my case, piece by piece, dissecting the chain of events the night of my arrest and got my charge negotiated and reduced down to a BAC below a .15 after having a BAC of .234! From start to finish you will feel as though you are his only client by how fast and on top of YOUR case he is..... His knowledge of law, detailed hard work, and determination to fight for YOU, is immeasurable. I could not be happier about my decision to go with David Haenel as my support through this difficult and challenging time. He should definitely change his name to Superman...

After being pulled over and charged with a DUI, I couldn't have been more terrified. David was the first lawyer I contacted, as he came highly recommended, and I couldn't have been happier that I ended up hiring him. David and his paralegal Marla were nothing but professional, kind, and extremely r...esponsive. Any questions I had were answered by David within an hour. David was 100% honest throughout the entire process and made me aware of all the possible outcomes of my case, and then worked for the best outcome - which he was able to offer to me! The worst possible outcomes of this case weren't even on the radar of what the outcome ended up being. I'll never forget the day he called me and said "I've finally got some good news..." I am so thankful for the recommendation and would send anyone in need to David. Thank you, thank you, David Haenel! You were able to help me out what I thought was going to be the worst experience of my life and into something I was able to face (with your help) and move on from.

Our child was accused of a DUI while away at college. We were referred to David Haenel based on an internet search and brief research. We could not have been happier with his professionalism & attention to our case. As we were not in the same city as our college student, David was great at commun...icating with us on a regular basis....even after typical office hours. David has the contacts and knowledge in Orlando that helped us resolve the case to the best possible solution. Our college student was comfortable working with him as well. We don't expect to be in this situation again, but know that David is the perfect lawyer to help us if necessary.

I hired David for my DUI and couldn’t be happier! My situation was damn near hopeless, as my breath result was extremely high and I’m sure my video(s) probably looked awful. I called their office on a Sunday night, I think, and he got back within about 10 minutes. He didn’t sugarcoat it like other... lawyers might have; he was straightforward about my situation and what I was facing, but promised that if I did hire him, he would get the best possible outcome. That’s exactly what he did. Admittedly, I was a complete neophyte with these types of situations. I had never really gotten into any trouble before (I had a perfect record), so I literally knew nothing about the legal and court systems and how everything works. However, David’s office handled all of the paperwork for me and I really didn’t even have to show up at court until the case was resolved. I was potentially facing jail time and a nightmare of other penalties, so you can imagine my surprise when he called shortly before the court date to tell me that he had gotten the charge reduced to a reckless. One thing that I became worried about after reading some reviews about other lawyers and hearing some things—not just about DUI attorneys but attorneys in general—is that after you hire some of them, they end up neglecting your case and merely hand it off to one of their underlings at their office. Thankfully that didn’t happen; David was actively involved with my case, informed me about any developments, went to court with me, and was committed to doing everything possible in my defense. Surely, a lot of what happens in the legal system is based on luck—how reasonable the prosecutor is, who the judge is, and probably a lot of other factors. (The same is true with the police, as some are very reasonable and others are totally unreasonable.) So there are never any guarantees as to what kind of result one can expect to get. But I can guarantee that David will fight for you and get you the BEST possible outcome for your situation, which I know other lawyers wouldn’t be able to get or even spend half as much time on. He was also the prosecutor of the year for Florida at one point, too, so it doesn’t hurt that he knows everything about the DUI law inside and out. Needless to say, I couldn’t be happier with my decision to hire him. Lastly, on an unrelated note, I would recommend that if/when you do go to court, make sure to dress formally! I was absolutely stunned at how many other defendants were dressed in street clothes. This includes shorts, flip-flops, bandanas--unbelievable. I think I was the only non-lawyer in the courtroom who didn’t have an Adidas shirt on!
