Miracle worker

I had the most heinous traffic ticket situation. I was accused of 115 in a 60 by a state trooper. Trooper said he could not tell what make and model my car was when he called in to dispatch. Mr. Haenel fought my case at trial and won. Mr. Haenel's extensive knowledge and experience proved invaluable ...in trying my case. Ultimately he defended me fantastically in this legal quagmire. I could not ask for more. 5 stars out of 5.

I Highly recommend David

David, helped me with a speeding ticket that I had every intention of paying. As it turns out the officer listed something wrong on the ticket, which I would have no way of knowing had it not been for David. As a result the case was dismissed, no ticket and no points on my license. I highly recomm...end David to represent you!! Thank you David.

David Haenel is the best!!!!

I just got home from the court house. Cannot wait to share that David Haenel is one of the best lawyers in the district!!! If you want a highly qualified, well mannered, punctual, aggressive and passionate, understanding, and supportive. Those are just some of the words to describe David's qualities.... In his deliverance David is very precise and articulate. He was leading the hearing and was definitely creating the atmosphere of "we are going to find the truth here". Having him defend my case was the best decision. I'm not just saying that because he won my case, but because he deeply believed that I was not at fault. And he made that very apparent to the judge and people present. Basically, he took care of everything, all I had to do is show up for the hearing. Being very acquainted with numerous court personnel and law enforcement officers (must be through his extensive experience of working alongside with those people) David was a "fish in the right lake". Also, David was great with the evidence handling (video of the accident) . I'm very thankful for all the work he has done! I'm not looking forward to any court hearings, but in any case David Haenel would be my choice again. David, if you can read this... THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!

HTO Violations, David Haenel

David Haenel recently represented me in an HTO violation. For those of you who are unaware of this unforgiving traffic violation, it revokes your drivers license for 5 years after you have been caught driving with a suspended license 3 times in a span of 5 years. Sounds miserable, I know. However, I ...knew the repercussions of this traffic violation could be detrimental to my future, so I immediately sought the legal advice of a knowledgeable practitioner. When I began researching this issue I was unaware of my options, but not necessarily ready to accept the terms of my 5 year drivers license revocation. When I spoke to David for the first time, he brought me up to speed relatively quickly. He was able to provide me with an extensive overview of HTO’s, how he had handled cases such as these in the past, and how he could aggressively pursue my case in particular. After this conversation I knew David was the right attorney to represent me. I contracted with David for his legal services on April 21. While I was awaiting a verdict on my case, David and his legal staff were always open to answer any questions/concerns I may have had. They even kept me informed of important matters relevant to my case via email/phone. In result, on May 7, I received in the mail a formal letter from the Division of Driver License stating that my “driving privilege is not under revocation or suspension.” Basically, David had resolved my HTO violation in a little over 2 weeks time. Let’s just say I greatly appreciated his professionalism and promptness when it came to this serious matter. It was an overwhelming relief to know this had been taken care of. I encourage those of you who were in my position to not downplay the ramifications of an HTO violation. If you get caught driving during this time you can be sentenced for up to 6 months in jail. For all of you out there who have been sentenced with an HTO or who have minor/serious traffic violations, I highly recommend consulting with David Haenel before you go any further. Thanks once again David, you’re the man…

Unhappy with assistants

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
