David A. Haenel – Florida Traffic Defense Lawyer – The Super Speeder Lawyer You Need

When Florida drivers face serious traffic charges like super speeder violations, they need an attorney who combines legal expertise with courtroom experience. Attorney David A. Haenel has spent his career standing up for drivers in Florida’s courts, protecting licenses, and challenging the state’s toughest speeding and traffic cases. His reputation is built on results, leadership, and a deep knowledge of Florida traffic law.

David is the driving force behind SuperSpeederLawyer.com, and his work has helped countless clients fight back against extreme speeding allegations. As the former chairman of the Florida Bar Traffic Court Rules Committee, he has played a direct role in shaping how Florida courts interpret traffic laws. That insight gives his clients a unique advantage when facing charges that can easily escalate into criminal consequences.

Professional Background

David’s journey into traffic defense law began with a commitment to protecting people at their most vulnerable moments. After earning his law degree and beginning his legal career, he quickly recognized the need for skilled representation in traffic and criminal defense cases.

What started as a focus on DUI defense expanded into handling the full range of traffic-related charges, including reckless driving, license suspensions, and extreme speeding. Over the years, David has developed a reputation as one of Florida’s leading authorities on traffic law. He has defended clients in nearly every type of traffic case, from routine speeding tickets to the most complex criminal proceedings.

Leadership in Florida Traffic Law

David’s leadership goes far beyond his own cases. His peers elected him to serve on the Florida Bar Traffic Court Rules Committee, where he ultimately rose to become chairman. In this role, he worked directly with other legal professionals and judges to review, update, and refine the rules that govern traffic court across the state.

This experience is invaluable for his clients. Few attorneys understand Florida’s traffic rules as deeply as someone who has helped write and interpret them. When prosecutors push for harsh penalties under Florida’s super speeder law, David is able to anticipate their strategies and craft defenses that level the playing field.

Results and Recognition

David’s track record speaks for itself. Over the course of his career, he has helped thousands of Florida drivers protect their licenses and avoid life-altering consequences. His results include:

  • Reductions of criminal charges to civil infractions
  • Successful challenges to radar and laser evidence in speeding cases
  • Preservation of driving privileges for clients at risk of suspension
  • Dismissals of reckless driving charges tied to excessive speed

His work has been recognized by legal peers, media outlets, and professional organizations. David has been invited to speak at legal education events, contribute to professional publications, and provide commentary on traffic enforcement issues.

Defending Florida’s Super Speeder Cases

At SuperSpeederLawyer.com, David focuses on one of the most serious traffic offenses: dangerous excessive speeding under Florida Statute 316.1922. These cases are different from ordinary speeding tickets because they move into criminal court.

David understands the high stakes of these charges. He regularly defends drivers facing:

  • Mandatory court appearances
  • The possibility of up to one year in jail
  • Suspension or revocation of a driver’s license
  • A permanent criminal record

His defense strategies are built around challenging the accuracy of police evidence, exposing flaws in the traffic stop, and seeking reductions to lesser charges whenever possible. For drivers facing a super speeder conviction, having David as their attorney means having a proven advocate in their corner.

Media, Speaking, and Publications

David’s expertise has made him a respected voice in Florida’s legal community. He has been featured in media interviews and has spoken at continuing legal education (CLE) programs for attorneys across the state. His presentations often focus on DUI defense, speeding cases, and emerging issues in traffic enforcement.

He has also authored articles and contributed to legal discussions about the practical and constitutional issues raised by modern traffic enforcement, from radar and laser technology to due process in criminal traffic cases.

Philosophy and Approach to Clients

David’s approach to defense is rooted in the belief that every driver deserves a fair chance. He knows that being stopped for speeding or facing a criminal traffic charge can be overwhelming, especially when the law requires mandatory court appearances and exposes drivers to jail time.

Clients working with David often comment on his personal attention, his ability to explain complex legal issues in plain English, and his willingness to fight aggressively in court. He balances strategic defense with compassion, ensuring that clients feel supported throughout the legal process.

His philosophy is simple: protect his clients’ licenses, protect their freedom, and fight for outcomes that keep their futures intact.

Serving Drivers Across Florida

David represents drivers throughout the state of Florida. Whether the charge comes from a traffic stop in Sarasota, Tampa, Orlando, Miami, or anywhere in between, he brings the same level of commitment and defense strategies to every case.

His statewide practice allows him to stay on top of enforcement trends in different jurisdictions. He understands how local prosecutors approach these cases and adapts his strategies accordingly, giving his clients an advantage no matter where in Florida they are charged.
