David Haenel did an excellent job representing me. He was so easy to get in touch with and always kept me updated on the situation. He never made any false promises about what I was facing, and yet he managed to get the best possible outcome under very bleak circumstances. A great deal of preparation... was always put into my defense and he maneuvered around the courtroom with skill. You won't find a better guy to have in your corner. I highly recommend consulting with David If you find yourself in trouble.

Outstanding representation by Mr. David Haenel. He assisted me with my legal problems and the outcome far exceeded my expectations. Mr. Haenel was always prompt to respond to my questions throughout the case and worked aggressively to see that my outcome was positive and won my case. I highly recom...mend hiring Mr. David Haenel.

Got stopped for DUI in May 2014, worst experience of my life. I hired David Haenel on a referral. Best decision ever. From the first meeting Mr Haenel sets you at ease, explains the process and all the possible outcomes. He is optimistic yet realistic, smart, high energy and patient with questions. H...e negotiated my case to a reckless driving without a trial. Could not have asked for a better outcome. Though I will never put myself in the position of needing his services again, trust me, David Haenal is the guy you want on your team! DV

I hired David for my DUI and couldn’t be happier! My situation was damn near hopeless, as my breath result was extremely high and I’m sure my video(s) probably looked awful. I called their office on a Sunday night, I think, and he got back within about 10 minutes. He didn’t sugarcoat it like other... lawyers might have; he was straightforward about my situation and what I was facing, but promised that if I did hire him, he would get the best possible outcome. That’s exactly what he did. Admittedly, I was a complete neophyte with these types of situations. I had never really gotten into any trouble before (I had a perfect record), so I literally knew nothing about the legal and court systems and how everything works. However, David’s office handled all of the paperwork for me and I really didn’t even have to show up at court until the case was resolved. I was potentially facing jail time and a nightmare of other penalties, so you can imagine my surprise when he called shortly before the court date to tell me that he had gotten the charge reduced to a reckless. One thing that I became worried about after reading some reviews about other lawyers and hearing some things—not just about DUI attorneys but attorneys in general—is that after you hire some of them, they end up neglecting your case and merely hand it off to one of their underlings at their office. Thankfully that didn’t happen; David was actively involved with my case, informed me about any developments, went to court with me, and was committed to doing everything possible in my defense. Surely, a lot of what happens in the legal system is based on luck—how reasonable the prosecutor is, who the judge is, and probably a lot of other factors. (The same is true with the police, as some are very reasonable and others are totally unreasonable.) So there are never any guarantees as to what kind of result one can expect to get. But I can guarantee that David will fight for you and get you the BEST possible outcome for your situation, which I know other lawyers wouldn’t be able to get or even spend half as much time on. He was also the prosecutor of the year for Florida at one point, too, so it doesn’t hurt that he knows everything about the DUI law inside and out. Needless to say, I couldn’t be happier with my decision to hire him. Lastly, on an unrelated note, I would recommend that if/when you do go to court, make sure to dress formally! I was absolutely stunned at how many other defendants were dressed in street clothes. This includes shorts, flip-flops, bandanas--unbelievable. I think I was the only non-lawyer in the courtroom who didn’t have an Adidas shirt on!
