I consulted Mr. Haenel on a speeding ticket matter and he handled is extremely professionally. He got all the information about my situation in great detail and told me after our consultation “Don’t worry I’ll take care of everything.” Which he did! I received the absolute best result for my situatio...n which looked pretty grim. I highly recommend Mr. Haenel!

I was in an accident and totaled my car back in August and caused 65,000 of property damage and left the scene of the accident. David settles my case out with adjudication withheld me only having to complete a 4 hour driving course online, and 831$ total in fines and court fees to be paid in 30 days.... No probation, no community service hours, no hassle no headache! This man did things I did not even fathom being capable in court, he got me everything I wanted and more and I will be recommending his representation to everyone! I’m really happy I took the recommendation from a family friend to have him represent me, it was by far the best decision I have ever made

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!

We retained David Haenel when my son was issued a rather serious traffic citation that we felt to be unfair. We didn't know what to expect, as we have not had a need to hire any type of defense attorney previously. David exceeded all expectations in getting the case dismissed completely. I'm so ha...ppy that we found David, and didn't just accept a citation that we didn't agree with.
