Responsive and Caring

In the wee hours of the morning, David Haenel promptly returned our desperate call for help. A family member was in trouble, and needed a lawyer. From the very first call and visit, David educated us on the charges and guided us through each of the legal steps to resolve the case. He was always tru...thful and never misled us. Both David and Marla were readily available and responsive to all our questions and kept us updated as the case proceeded—no matter how often we called. We could not have been more impressed with the professionalism and care that both David and Marla demonstrated through this most difficult time. We are confident that no other lawyer could have negotiated the positive result for our family member, and we will be forever grateful.

Two ticket to (NOT) paradise

I hired Mr. David Haenel to fight two tickets. speeding and following to close in Orange County / Orlando, Florida. Mr. Haenel handle my entire case with the utmost professionalism. He and his staff are extremely helpful and answered all my questions. It was extremely important for these infraction n...ot show up on my record. I hold a current Commercial Pilot license and headed for the Air Force upon graduation from college. Mr. Haenel and his agency worked extremely hard in the preparation of my case and showed up early to court and met with me prior to my case being presented to the Judge / Hearing Officer. We discussed a game plan and what my expectations were and possible plan B should it not workout. Mr. Haenel presented my case to the Judge / Hearing Officer in a very professional manner and plead my case for me. I never testified and spoke to the Judge. My case was brought to a successful conclusion with both infractions being dismissed. I am so thankful to Mr. David Haenel assisting me and saving my US Air Force career. The sky's are once again wide open for me to pursue my chosen career. If you find yourself in a situation like mine, I highly recommend Mr. David Haenel and his agency. Should I have the need for legal representation again, I will definitely be using him and his agency again. Thank You again for all you have done for me. I cannot thank you enough. KW

Guilty of a DUI, PreTrial Diversion denied and received a better deal than diversion.

I had David Haenel to represent my DUI case. My video was horrible and I was denied PTD which I really wanted so I could have my record expunged. They sent all of the paperwork via email and I didn't even have to go to the office to sign them. I used my phone. My temporary drivers permit was in my h...and in two days. David called me immediately after he received information and kept me up to date with the progress. He even called me on the weekend to make sure I knew where to go and what was going to happen in court on Monday. My DUI was dropped to a reckless and adjudication was withheld which meant no points on my license and I could still have my record expunged. I had 6 months less of probation, no breathalyzer on the car and 1K less in fines than PTD. David and his staff was prompt and professional from the beginning to the end. It was almost like calling a friend you knew you could count on.

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…
