This review is a little overdue, but given our busy lives, I need to write it now respectfully. Christopher Hemmel is extraordinary! I cannot say enough great things about him. I was/am (and will only be) a first-time DUI offender. I do not live in PA, and he handled my case without me having to spend money to travel back there. He quickly got my case lessened to the ARD program and less probation, and it will be stricken from my record once it is completed in a few months. My only sadness is that we never got to meet in person. If you want a standup person who is kind and very efficient, Call Chris Hemmel.

Chris is not only very professional, knowledgeable and prompt, but also very compassionate. He knew exactly how to handle my situation, and also was very sympathetic and wiling to listen to any of my questions and concerns. I definitely felt like he was with me every step of the way. When dealing with the legal system, he was the one person I felt would talk to me like I was a human being,

Chris was a true professional with down to earth. He was helpful throughout my situation and confident about the outcome. He was straightforward. Chris comes in with a game plan in the beginning and has different game plans set up if something doesn't work out. He was great and I couldn't have made a better choice.

I received a letter in the mail stating I was being charged and could get jail time and a heavy fine. shortly after I received a letter offering Christopher Hemmel services. After my wife read his reviews and quickly spoke with him, he reached out to me. Chris was extremely friendly and helpful listening to my issue and quickly got back in touch with me to help me and accept my case. He met me at the court and completely handled everything and made a tough situation very smooth with a great outcome. Very professional and easy going, definitely highly recommend his services.

Chris Hemmel was the absolute best lawyer I could ask for. I got my first DUI and was clueless on the process and who to choose for a lawyer, as this was also my first time doing something wrong. I received his letter in the mail and there was just something about his letter that made me feel comfortable and I called him and told him my situation and immediately he put my fears at ease. He is an exceptional lawyer but an even better person. He didn’t treat me like a number he treated me like a person and never judged me and explained every step thoroughly. I am a very anxious person and he calmed me down in every phone call and text message. I hope no one ever gets in trouble with the law but if you do, I would HIGHLY recommend him to help you with your case. As I stated before this is my first run in with the law and I got a DUI, and he was responsive, has excellent knowledge of the laws, and made you laugh when you feel like the world is crashing on you. He made this experience painless and although I will not be doing anything to put myself back in these predicaments, he was the absolute best. I am forever grateful for him and the work he put in for me. I ended up getting accepted into the ARD program and no jail time. He did what was best for me and again explained everything to me throughout the process. I cannot stress enough how amazing he was for me in my case. He made me feel human and seen and heard, I made a mistake and he helped me see that this doesn’t define me. He is an amazing person and I would recommend him for any type of case, but definitely for DUI’s. Thank you, Mr. Hemmel, for everything you did for me, I am eternally grateful for you and your time and patience and knowledge. M.R.

On December 27, 2016, I was arrested in my home state of Tennessee, charged with four felonies and four misdemeanors, placed in solitary confinement. After 15 days, I was extradited to Delaware County, Pennsylvania. Then I met Christopher Hemmel who obtained my release within 18 hours of my arriving in Delaware County. Without a doubt, I could tell that Chris wanted to sincerely know me as a person, and not by the charges that were listed on the piece of paper sitting on his desk. He took the time to review every charge and accusation and explain to me what it meant legally. He listened to my concerns and feelings about how these charges were not true, but merely a false and miserable attempt from my failed marriage to destroy me as a person. After our initial meeting, he began diligently putting together our defense to prove my innocence. During this painstaking time, Chris kept open lines of communication with friends and family that wanted to help prove these accusations as deceitful and untrue. Chris openly explained the possible outcomes and kept a realistic expectation of what could happen. Chris took the time to research, talk with anyone I asked him to, and read other similar case files to ensure my case was resolved fairly. He filed multiple motions with the court and successfully litigated the complete dismissal of all the felony charges. Moving forward, we continued the fight to dismiss the four misdemeanor charges. When the Commonwealth refused to dismiss the remaining charges, the case went to a full jury trial at my request. At trial, Chris brought my story to life. He filled the room with the same feeling of despair that I first felt as I was arrested. He made the jurors feel the sense of shock as I did when I was placed under arrest with no explanation as to why. He empathized how the original accusations were over 20 years old. Chris ensured I understood everything. To say he prepared me to stand trial would be an understatement. Chris thoroughly prepared me for every possible scenario. He kept a notepad that we used to communication with each other privately during the trial. His cross examinations of the Commonwealth were decisive. When Detective DeLuise took the stand, Chris destroyed his testimony and credibility. Chris just flat out shredded him. Chris forced him to state the required steps of a proper investigation. Then Chris made the detective admit that he had ignored all the required steps. I will forever be grateful to Chris and the way he effortlessly dismantled the DAs case and the Commonwealths lies against me. He was able to achieve (what seemed like) the impossible. He did this by proving I did not do what I was accused of. Chriss attitude and confidence did not waver once during this stressful time. But the prosecutions case deteriorated and fell apart under his cross-examination. My family and I were thankful to have Chris leading this fight for my freedom. At trial, Chris kept an upbeat and sunny disposition. Even when I felt like I couldnt fight anymore, Chris carried the weight of my sorrows and my desperation to prove my innocence. When I sat at the defendants table, knowing my family was sitting behind me listening and watching, feeling very isolated and alone, Chris always had words of encouragement. Having him at my side holding his bottle of Smart Water with a smile telling me hes ready to fight for the outcome I deserved. I cannot express enough gratitude for all the hard work, time, patience, diligence, honesty, communication, empathy and caring for my case and for me as a person. If you ever find yourself in a situation where you need someone who will fight for your innocence, who will listen to you and provide you with the support and the knowledge you need, give Chris Hemmel a call.

Mr. Hemmel was my attorney for a case that would have devastated my life from a career and personal life standpoint. Even with my individual uncertainty, he didn't waiver from what he knew was appropriate within my case. Mr. Hemmel was patient, very knowledgeable, poised, and caring for me and my situation. I never felt like I was alone through the process and was always properly informed of all details. I would most certainly trust Mr. Hemmel with any case as my defense counsel.

Mr. Hemmel was stellar in this process for my husband. He went above and beyond through the entire process from start to finish, and truly fought for my husband that was critically injured in a car accident. Hands down, highly recommended. Will use Mr. Hemmel again without a doubt!

I highly recommend Christopher Hemmel. I got a second DUI and of course was scared out of my mind. He is an amazing attorney. Christopher eased my mind about the whole process. Definitely great customer service and professionalism. I am also very happy with the deal I got it. If I ever ( which I hope I don't ) get into any other trouble , Christopher is the one I will call on. Thank you so much for everything !

I had the pleasure of having Chris represent me as my attorney. I received a letter from Chris as many attorney’s sent to me. From the jump Chris has been easy to talk to and making me feel like he was the best option for me no questions asked. Chris always kept it straight with me and never had me worrying about my case. He has always been there any day/time I had any questions for him. This man is a beast hands down. He could tell I was a good person and just made a dumb mistake which he said from the beginning. He got all the charges dismissed that I needed for me to continue my employment. I was charged with the lowest tier dui. This man will fight and fight till the end for you! You will not regret choosing him.

If you want a compassionate, direct, honest, thoroughly prepared lawyer who cares about his clients you want Chris Hemmel. Chris helped with my son's case to get the best outcome for the charges. He went above and beyond to assure we both felt comfortable in court. And supported us through the process.
