Miracle worker!

I am a student that happened to make a poor judgement call one night. I thought everything I had worked for would be cut short because of one bad decision. Mr. Haenel came to my rescue! He immediately put my mind at east with a plan and schedule, outlining what I can do to help remedy or at least ...shrink the time frame of consequences. He was honest about the potential outcome of my case, guided me to obtain a hardship license, called me every step of the way. Without going into specifics, it was a pretty open and shut dui conviction. However, Mr. Haenel pleaded with the prosecutor explaining my situation and future. When the prosecutor wouldn't budge, he talked to his superior and pleaded with him! He went above and beyond. The DAY OF MY PLEA, he was able to negotiate a reckless driving instead of a full dui! He never stopped fighting for me! After two months, I was already done with probation and my life is back to normal! No mandatory insurance, no dui conviction. I cannot recommend Mr. Haenel enough. Even after his work was done, he still helped me with my drivers license and all follow up questions I had. My gift to him is writing this review. Please let him help you through this tough time.

Reduced a second DUI to reckless driving

I hired David Haenel in June after being charged with DUI. This was my second offense. Before even being retained David clearly outlined what I was facing and what our goal would be. From day one one he kept in constant contact on the status of my case. His demeanor and professionalism were a const...ant reminder that I had hired the right lawyer. I never doubted that he would be able to achieve the best possible outcome. In the end David managed to get my charges reduced greatly reducing my fines and penalties. I would not hesitate in recommending this lawyer.

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.

Very professional attorney

I contacted David following an arrest for a DUI. David responded on a weekend and immediately began digesting the case and presenting to me an honest assessment of where I stood in the process. He gave me a checklist of things that I could obtain for him in order for him to better represent me. Ba...sed on his professionalism, knowledge, and information I obtained on him using the Internet I decided that he was the right attorney for me. I am so glad that I made this decision. I got everything that he asked for and then in essence he told me that he would handle everything else. Within a few weeks David notified me that he had won my case in the Florida Department of Motor Vehicles and that I therefore had a full license. He then proceeded to defend my case vigorously on the civil side, which eventually culminated in the result that I was hoping for, a withold of adjudication on a Reckless Driving. This took a great deal of work on David's part and I believe that he puts above and beyond effort in to every case that he takes on and any one in my position in this area would be lucky to have him representing them.

Extremely Helpful and Professional

My son attends college in Florida and had an accident. He was charged with criminal misdemeanors and we were extremely worried about him losing his license. We live out of state and it would have been a real hardship if we tried to fly back and forth. Attorney Haenel was recommended by a friend and w...e couldn't have been happier with the outcome. Attorney Haenel called whenever there were updates, advised us we didn't need to be in court and always had a positive attitude when working with us. We couldn't be more thankful and highly recommend him to anyone.
