Two ticket to (NOT) paradise

I hired Mr. David Haenel to fight two tickets. speeding and following to close in Orange County / Orlando, Florida. Mr. Haenel handle my entire case with the utmost professionalism. He and his staff are extremely helpful and answered all my questions. It was extremely important for these infraction n...ot show up on my record. I hold a current Commercial Pilot license and headed for the Air Force upon graduation from college. Mr. Haenel and his agency worked extremely hard in the preparation of my case and showed up early to court and met with me prior to my case being presented to the Judge / Hearing Officer. We discussed a game plan and what my expectations were and possible plan B should it not workout. Mr. Haenel presented my case to the Judge / Hearing Officer in a very professional manner and plead my case for me. I never testified and spoke to the Judge. My case was brought to a successful conclusion with both infractions being dismissed. I am so thankful to Mr. David Haenel assisting me and saving my US Air Force career. The sky's are once again wide open for me to pursue my chosen career. If you find yourself in a situation like mine, I highly recommend Mr. David Haenel and his agency. Should I have the need for legal representation again, I will definitely be using him and his agency again. Thank You again for all you have done for me. I cannot thank you enough. KW

OMG..... AMAZING! Even responds promptly on week-ends!

The whole office is Amazing, dedicated, caring, and always looking out for your best interest. I was stopped on a friday evening, Spring 2014, and charged with a DUI. I searched the internet all week-end and on Sunday evening around 8:30, I found David and his law firm. After reading the reviews, I s...ent a question (not expecting to get any response until sometime during the week) and it couldn't have been but a few minutes later I got a response from David which I am ever so grateful that he did. We discussed my case and I had a meeting with him the next morning. David is extremely knowledgeable and he was very helpful in getting me started in the process, explaining to me know what I needed to do, (he also e-mailed me a copy of the book he and the firm wrote "Surviving Your DUI, A Citizen's Handbook") how and where to go to get the next steps accomplished (DMV Hearing and DUI School) and what to expect next with the criminal process. My experience with other attorney offices have been when you hire one attorney, there may be someone other than the attorney that you hire handling your case so I asked David "If I go to court, who would be going with me?" His response was "All of us" and Yes, I soon found out when you hire one attorney, you get the expertise of "All" the attorneys as not only did I have David representing my best interest, I also had the expertise, wisdom, and knowledge of Darren and AnneMarie, (My Dream Team!) They all played their own part, the District Attorney did NOT want to co-operate, but with their knowledge, experience, and determination, I was able to plea no contest to reckless driving with hold of adjudication meaning there is No plea of guilt, I am able to have the record sealed, no points on my license, and after a very wise learning experience, I am able to put this situation quickly behind me and move on to a better and wiser life. If you find yourself in a position that you need his services, I highly recommend David and every one of his firm. Also, during this time I was involved in a minor fender bender on a Sunday morning and the sheriff's office was called. I had enough fore thought to call David's office, I was not sure (or expecting) anyone to be available to take my call or message. To my amazement, a "person" answered the phone, got my message to David and he called me back "before" the sheriff's office arrived. Thank you! I am forever grateful!

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.

PHENOMENAL QUICK POSITIVE OUTCOME 10 STARS!!!!!

I was in a pickle with my license being revoked for five years for being a habitual traffic offender. I was in complete panic and Mr. Haenel and his team were phenomenal. They took my case and imediately worked on it realizing the gravity of my situation. To my dismay, one week later my license was r...einstated!!! I really have no words to describe the piece of mind that was returned to me. I highly encourage and recommend him if you have a case he can handle. Your money will be well spend with him. Everything about their service was spectacular. They kept me informed and were immediately responsive to any of my questions. I can't say enough.

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.
