Not satisfied with your current attorney or projected outcome? See David Haenel for a second opinion.

I was charged with a DUI. I hired an attorney that I have trusted, recommended and retained in the past. With many unique details to my case, I found my attorney persuading me to believe that I was guilty and plead to a DUI charge. I came to David Haenel for a second opinion. His professionalism, att...ention to detail and working knowledge of DUI law was impressive. I decided to hire David. After researching David online, finding that he had published a book on DUI's as well as built a successful firm... I was concerned that he may "rest on ones laurels" like my past attorney. This could not be farther from the truth. David lead the strategic attack on my case while utilizing his team of partners and associates. DUI charges were dropped.

Guilty of a DUI, PreTrial Diversion denied and received a better deal than diversion.

I had David Haenel to represent my DUI case. My video was horrible and I was denied PTD which I really wanted so I could have my record expunged. They sent all of the paperwork via email and I didn't even have to go to the office to sign them. I used my phone. My temporary drivers permit was in my h...and in two days. David called me immediately after he received information and kept me up to date with the progress. He even called me on the weekend to make sure I knew where to go and what was going to happen in court on Monday. My DUI was dropped to a reckless and adjudication was withheld which meant no points on my license and I could still have my record expunged. I had 6 months less of probation, no breathalyzer on the car and 1K less in fines than PTD. David and his staff was prompt and professional from the beginning to the end. It was almost like calling a friend you knew you could count on.

Very Satisfied Client

David helped me get through a very difficult situation with a great outcome. I was arrested for DUI and the future did not look promising. However, David explored all avenues and was able to get the DUI lowered to reckless driving. He and his team, who are all super helpful, acted fast and were alwa...ys working in my best interest. I would highly recommend Mr. Haenel if you are in need of legal help.

Excellent Attorney

David provided the best experience in a bad situation. I was arrested for DUI in June and had originally hired another attorney. This is my first and last offense. Once I met David and discussed my options, I actually fired my original attorney (who was not providing much help and was not really inte...rested in my case) and hired David. He was extremely helpful, was quick to respond, and saved me from getting charged for my offense. My case was dismissed and I owe it all to David and his ability. I would recommend him to anyone I know who needs legal help. He was extremely attentive and by far one of the best. His staff is also very polite and helpful.

Excellent Defense Attorney

I don't usually rate but David is an excellent attorney. He brought a successful resolution of my DUI case that far exceeded my expectations. David explained everything in easy to understand terms and kept me informed throughout my case. Additionally, he laid things out, explained options and work...ed hard on my behalf. I won't hesitate to recommend him. I told David that I hope to never talk to him again but if I did ever need a defense attorney he would be my first call. Do yourself a favor and use this guy.
