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.

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 !!!

Haenel and Finebloom -- Haenel in particular, from what I observed in the courtroom -- seem to be good DUI attorneys. Ultimately, I found that it was worth $3500 to hire them. For a long time, though, they left me at the mercy of an assistant who was not fully experienced or competent. She did not of...fer clear communications or advice; she did not respond quickly to emails; she confused me with other clients; and at times it seemed that she knew little about DUI legal issues or Florida law. At the end, though, Haenel came through; but for several weeks I was very nervous and not too optimistic, even though I had a relatively strong case

TO POTENTIAL CLIENTS OF DAVID HAENEL. I was driving home from the beach one day with a cracked tail light after having a few beers. I was pulled over and arrested for DUI. I took the case to Mr. Haenel and his partner, Mr. Finebloom. At first, the state was not willing to budge, even though i h...ad never been in trouble before. David and his partner did and awesome job fighting the state. All of their hard work paid off. They did not get the case reduced to reckless, they had it completely dismissed. Thanks to them, I still have a clean record. I cannot express how grateful I am, they literally saved my future. I would absolutely recommend the guys from the office of Finebloom & Haenel. Thanks again!
