Mr. Haenel was the right man for my challenging case! His long-standing expertise and established relationships in the field showed on all ends, when communicating with me, with involved parties, and in court. The outcome could not have been any better for me. Gloria is also very attentive, they both... updated me immediately on any new, which helped me to feel at ease throughout this tough time. Thank you!

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!

Mr. Haenel and his team are excellent. From the first call (personally with Mr. Haenel even before being hired) to the quick resolution of my family's legal issues, every step of the way was positive and helpful from each attorney and assistants involved. Mr. Haenel took what could have been a very... scary situation, even as a misdemeanor, and guided us through with care and compassion. The end result couldn't have been any better, as he and his team were able to get everything cleared and what was a pristine record restored to its original state. I would highly recommend a call to Mr. Haenel if you find yourself in need of legal assistance (and I wouldn't try going it alone!)
