Responsive and Caring

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.

Words can not express enough...

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...

Simply an AMAZING lawyer!

Mr. David Haenel is fantastic. He accepted my very complicated traffic accident case after just a few minutes of conversation. He did not raise any unrealistic expectations towards what might happen with my case, but instead provided hope which helped ease the heavy weight of worry I had. He and his... staff were available to answer any and all questions I may have had and were able to ease my apprehension with their expertise in the matter. He spent a considerable amount of time and effort thoroughly researching the case and consulting with experts to get the proper information and facts to better defend me. He was able to rebut the prosecuting trooper’s report on what had happened in my accident effectively, which ultimately resulted in the dismissal of my ticket. I will, without a doubt, recommend Mr. Haenel to anyone who is unfortunate enough to have come into similar circumstances such as mine, and wholeheartedly say that he is one of the best lawyers that I have met. He will fight on your side 200% and he will fight like a bulldog. I cannot express my gratitude towards him enough, he allowed me to get back to my life and live it without any more worries in the matter. Thank you again, Mr. Haenel.

Excellent, highly dedicated lawyer

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.
