The law place beat my expectations out of the water. From going to court a day early, because I thought I could beat it myself, then asking for a continuance, so i could represent myself better. Somehow missing that court date for having date wrong. Then eventually going with The Law Place. It was like I never missed a day, and David call today with the news of case dismissed. The best news I've heard in a long time. Highly recommend to anyone with traffic issues. Thank you, to The Law Place! Didn't even have to show my face after hiring them. 5 stars all day ✨️

We cannot recommend this David Haenel enough. His prior experience as a prosecutor proved absolutely invaluable — he knew exactly how the system worked and used that knowledge to our advantage. From the very beginning, he was incredibly responsive, often available within minutes to answer our questions or discuss developments in the case. His entire office communicated clearly and professionally throughout the process. Most importantly, he took the time to listen to our goals and what outcome we were hoping for — and then he delivered. In the end, he was able to get all charges dismissed. We’re beyond grateful for his expertise and dedication.

Unfortunately I had the need to hire a lawyer, but The Law Place was definitely the right choice. They were there to answer all my questions, explain the process and what to expect ahead while navigating through the legal system. They were quick to response to all emails/calls/text, and kept me up to date on the progression of my case. Annamarie and her team were great to work with, and I would recommend them to anyone needing representation.

David Haenel is an amazing attorney. On the spot with amazing credentials and an uncanny ability to help out when needed. Don’t look elsewhere- you can’t find better.

If you ever need an attorney for any reason I can’t recommend David Haenel enough. My error in judgment could have cost me a lot more than just money. I still can’t believe that in all honesty I came away with what amounted to a slap on the wrist. All thanks to David at The Law Place. I want to say a special thank you to Marla Barnes and Jeanna Johnson. Marla really held my hand through the whole process and made sure that I was kept up to date and in the loop with my case. She also talked me through everything that I needed to do right to the very end. I can’t thank her enough for that and for keeping me calm throughout the whole thing. Thank you David, Marla and Jeanne!

I just want to say how much I appreciate David Haenel at The Law Place for helping my mom with her recent traffic ticket. She was really stressed about it, especially being new to Florida, but David made the whole process simple and stress-free for her. She didn’t get any points on her license, didn’t have to go to traffic school, and everything was taken care of without her even having to go to court. She had nothing but great things to say about David—professional, reliable, and easy to work with. From both of us—thank you, David! She highly recommends you, and so do I.

David Haenel and the team at The Law Place were excellent. Knowledgeable, responsive, professional...highly recommend!

While other law firms take messages and don’t return calls, The Law Place (in my case, David and Marla) not only answered the phone, I had answers in 10 minutes. They were very responsive at all times; I could not have been treated better. I would not hesitate to call them!

Nothing but a great experience! Professional staff from top to bottom at the firm. I was recommended to have David Haenel represent me in court and I couldn’t have picked a better attorney for the situation. I would highly recommend this group to my friends and family.

The team at The Law Place was incredibly supportive during a difficult time. They were creative, compassionate and understanding. I know they truly cared about our well-being.

From start to finish, they were all kind, efficient, and professional. Thank you, team, for your assistance. I definitely recommend this business! (And I never leave reviews for places, so this says a lot!)

David at the Law place in Sarasota is fantastic! I had two traffic violations, one of which was pretty serious. David handled both cases with incredible professionalism and skill. He resolved the serious violation with no points on my license and a very low fine, and he was able to get the second, less serious violation completely dismissed. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome! If you’re looking for someone who knows what they’re doing and truly cares about getting you the best result, David is your guy. Thank you so much, David!

The Law Place did an excellent job representing my case. Right from the beginning Dave Haenel was very informative as well as professional and knowledgeable about my case. He explained everything as we approached court date. My case was dismissed. I highly recommend The Law Place and David Haenel.

David was extremely knowledgeable and walked me through exactly what had happened in my particular situation, the history of such incidents, and how he was going to approach the solution all from a location. Took his advice and things played out just as described. These are types of attorneys we all expect but rarely find, do yourself a favour and give them a call. Your freedom may depend on it.
