You don’t want another lawyer

David haenyl has been my lawyer for approximately 15 years.Due to the over aggressive nature of the Sarasota police force involving traffic citations I would not have a license without David’s representation.I most recently had a felony marijuana arrest and was very worried about a felony.David got m...e into drug court and everything was dropped.He performed a miracle on my fathers dui case also.I have sent many people to David over the years and everyone was impressed with the outcome of their case.Everyone asks how much is he?You don’t want to be too concerned about price when you are facing a felony or revocation of your license...hire the best.On your day in court with David you will see that he is respected by the judges as well as the prosecutors.

Time well spent

September 2017 I went to The Law Place, referred from 2 friends who had been very successful there, not knowing where to turn. I had managed to put myself into a situation that landed me in big trouble. DUI 2nd offense! I met with David and he, with little details to go off of (nothing was uploaded a...t the clerk of courts office yet), took the time to explain each route we could go down with the details I shared. With his direction and experience we worked together for a year and 8 months trying to resolve each detail that had transpired. I’m so fortunate to have found David and his assistant Marla. With his patients and knowledge ALL of my charges were dropped. In the beginning he advised me it was very unlikely that we would be able to get through this without a trial. He and his team worked what seemed effortlessly over the months as my case was passed around by the states attorneys office, pre-trial hearing after pre-trial hearing with manatee county constantly rescheduling my motions over and over, we finally got in front of the judge. My motion to suppress the evidence had my emotions heightened. I, not really having much faith in the system, was amazed how attentive my attorney was in capturing every detail or what seemed to me as false information given to the judge by the other side. They argue with pure and just the right amount of aggressive expertise. Then after this long battle I received the phone call. ALL CHARGES WERE DROPPED. The judge was able to provide multiple pages of reasons why he felt this was an unlawful stop because of all the hard work The Law Place, specifically David and Marla, had put into my case. I just want to say Thank you for the constant communication and not giving up! Answering all my emails and phone calls with a sense of urgency and not letting it slide. I highly recommend David to be on your side!

Best possible outcome

David and his team were able to procure the best possible outcome for me in a DUI charge, reckless driving adjudication withheld. Because of David Haenel and his team I am able to keep my job. They were extremely helpful and guided me through the process. All of my questions were answered right away.... David even called after hours and on the weekend. Highly recommended.

Life Saver

David and his team are are extremely professional and always follow through. I found myself being charged with a DUI and had no idea of what to do. David took my call and explained to me the situation at hand and he put together a game plan immediately. I followed through with his advice and direc...tion and he worked his magic to get the case reduced to careless and reckless. Needless to say I am now back on my feet and driving thanks to David. GH
