Christopher Hemmel has been a big role in my journey to stability and freedom, not just in the judicial system but as a mentor for future endeavors. His strong determination to fight for his clients to provide the best outcome possible holds very true to my cases. He is reasonably priced and his value is substantial to what he brings to the table. I am forever grateful for this man and will continue my walk in this life humbled by the fact god and himself were able to give me this opportunity to be a better person.

I picked Christopher Hemmel to be my lawyer initially because he had a complete understanding of my case and seemed that he was truly willing to advocate for me.
The amount in which he did so, was not just the fact that he cares, has a vast understanding of the law and an outstanding relationship with everyone in the justice center.
He also has an incredible ability to think on his feet.
During my sentencing the DA had dropped a surprising modification that not only Chris and myself were not aware nor prepared for, but the judge also was taken by surprise.
The DA had tried to triple the amount of time for my sentencing without informing any of us.
Chris preceded to take control of the situation; after he advocated for me in front of the court and discussed numerous facts about my case, he took a sidebar with the judge and ensured that I would not suffer what the DA had intended for me.
Grateful does not come close to how I felt in that moment I was truly speechless and in shock. I do not want to know where I would be with out Christopher Hemmel, and can assure you that if you’re in need of a lawyer, that you don’t want to find out where you will be without Chris either.

Until I retained Chris Hemmel to represent me, I've never been inspired with quality of legal counsel I engaged for professional or personal matters. Cost was always a mystery and I never got a straight answer about hourly billing I asked as a client. Attorney Hemmel presented the cost of legal services the first day we met.
The cost was reasonable, reasonable, and throughout the course of my case did not deviate. There were no surprises and I respected that. Attorney Hemmel is a user friendly professional and well connected with district attorneys and prosecutors in Delaware County.
I was concerned and anxious about citations received for harassment in association with arguments with my neighbor. Options were discussed but during the hearing Attorney Hemmel convinced the District Attorney to dismiss all charges pending completion of an anger management course. I didn't agree that I was guilty in the first place but at the end of the day having charges dismissed was the best outcome. I feel Attorney Hemmel's manner and connection Delaware County Courts were cause for the success. I respect Attorney Hemmel as a legal professional and person and would not hesitate to retain again.

I received numerous letters from many attorneys but Mr. Hemmel's was the one that stuck out to me. It was the only one that was not generic like the others. I decided to give him a call and discuss being a potential client. From the get go Chris was kind and willing to fight for me to eliminate or lessen as many of the misdemeanor and summary offenses as possible. When I was worried about payment, he allowed me to go on a payment plan that was well within my budget. There was one instance where I had a family emergency that he even allowed me to postpone the payment. He was very understanding and courteous. Chris kept me informed during the entire legal process. I was prepared for the worst case scenario but it turns out that Mr. Hemmel was able to get all of my charges dismissed after a short time on probation and a handful of community service hours. I will be petitioning for expungement very soon and will again be hiring Mr. Hemmel. I have met lawyers before but none compare to Chris. He has a great personality, is very knowledgeable and will fight his hardest to get you the best possible outcome.

I received a letter from Chris, and many other lawyers, after getting arrested for marijuana possession. Chris Hemmel's letter stuck out to me because it was the only letter I received that gave any indication of aiming to lessen the charges given to me. As this was my first time being arrested, I was very nervous that my whole life would be ruined if I was to be convicted. I made a few calls to lawyers but again, Chris was the only one who wanted to really fight the charges. Not only did he do that, but he helped keep me calm during the entire process. I ended up crying on multiple phone calls and he was there giving me the wisdom I needed. On the day of the trial, I was prepared for the absolute worst case scenario and thanks to Chris it turned out to be the best case scenario! My charges were dropped down to a summary offense of disorderly conduct, which immediately induced a wave of happy tears from me! Chris gave me amazing legal and life advice that I will surely never forget; he is so kind and knowledgeable and I am so grateful that he was able to take on my case and help put me on the right path.

From day one, facing multiple felony charges, Chris reassured me that my outcome would be favorable and he delivered. After heavily researching and consulting with mulltiple criminal defense lawyers, I found Chris Hemmel to be most actionable and informative of the rest. Chris's expertise and years of experience in criminal law were instrumental in fully resovling my case. His rapport and reputation with the local court system validated that I had a strong reiable attorney who was willly to fight for me. His process was steamless which made the experience mostly effortless for me. A resolution was quickly devised and my case was dismissed. There are "talkers" who will take your money and do nothing, Chris is a "do-er" who will deliver the highest level of service resulting in the best outcome for your case!

Christopher Hemmel represented me for my DUI case. I had consulted with many lawyers and chose Chris to represent me. He was not the most cost efficient on the market but was well worth the investment. Chris was always organized, focused, and quick to answer any of my questions. He is well connected into the legal community as I often saw him interacting with colleagues. More importantly he was professional and helped me resolve my charges. I would highly recommend Chris to anyone inquiring about his services.

Chris Hemmel Esq., is an excellent criminal defense attorney. He will fight for you from beginning to the end. He will explain the entire process, and work diligently to win your case, which he did for me. It was my first time ever having to deal with the Pennsylvania court system. I was nervous, scared, and at times very frustrated. But Chris was there every step of the way. He answered all of my questions, and explained the entire process in detail. I highly recommend Mr. Hemmel as your attorney, if you find yourself in need of one. He has been there for me, and I’m sure he will be there for anyone who is in need of his professional services.
