Testimonials

I cannot say enough for the firm Finebloom and Haenel.

From the moment I walked in door I felt at ease, an appreciative feeling after experiencing the most traumatic event in my life. Chris, who you will initially meet upon entering, is a charm.

Darren Finebloom and David Haenel, the owners, are brilliant. Their experience is extensive, which supports the claim F&H is the best in the business. And AnneMarie Rizzo, well, I cannot say enough. She fought hard for me every step of the way, something that you definitely want in an attorney. A true professional.

In closing, I highly recommend the firm. One of the best decisions I made in my life.

Incredible representation. In one of my first meetings with Mr. Haenel he informed me they work somewhere around 300 cases per year. At first I was a little concerned this would mean that I’d receive less than personal attention. I very quickly learned how wrong I was.

This case load translates directly into what matters most – experience. I had the best of both worlds – excellent personal service and immense amounts of experience. Nowhere did this show more than in the courtroom. As I sat and watched Ms. Rizzo so overwhelmingly articulate her argument I actually found myself feeling somewhat sorry for the prosecuting attorney at the other table. It wasn’t even close.

The judge agreed and essentially threw the entire case out, all within the span of 15 minutes. This was literally the best possible disposition of my case and I couldn’t be more thankful!
