Great Lawyer

Very Grateful with Mr. Haenel, throughout this process he has been guiding me on what to do with my case. I would highly recommend him

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!

Hire David He's the BEST!

I put myself in an unfortunate position and after hours of research I knew I needed an attorney and fast! I found David online and read his reviews and felt confident he was the guy I needed. I called David and explained my situation he immediately informed me of the consequences for my actions but f...elt he could help. I hired David and worked directly with him and his extremely helpful secretary Marla. David told me what I needed to do before my hearing and I did everything he said. I never had to appear in court David did everything, he fought to save me from what could have impacted my life forever. My end result was a $113 fine and 8 hour DDC course, thank you David for everything you did to help me and protect my future! You and Marla are the best!

Case Dismissed

As an out of state resident I hired David Haenel to represent me in the state of Florida. He was extremely knowledgeable and provided excellent communication throughout the process. He handled himself professionally and not only did he represent me well, he was able to get the case dismissed. I w...ould highly recommend him.

Florida Traffic Ticket

Mr. Haenel was recommend to me. Mr. Haenel and his assistant were very accessible throughout. They carefully explained to me the procedure for contesting a Florida ticket I received, since I live in Minnesota. Mr. Haenel assured me that he handles many cases like mine and I need not worry at all. ... He said that I could leave matters in his hands and trust him. The result was excellent and the Florida charge was dismissed.
