Darren Finebloom assisted me and my family with 2 cases and he was successful with both of them. Darren and his legal team were an absolute pleasure to work with. They were very attentive and caring through out the whole process.

Darren Finebloom explained to me my case, and the options that were available to me. He listened to my concerns and answered all my questions. We discussed the different possibilities. He acquired store video footage. After reviewing he said clearly I was falsely charged. I did not want to make a deal with the prosecutor because I felt I was innocent, So even though it took more of Darrens time he was more than willing to fight for me. The end result, was my case did get dropped. I will definitely recommend him to others.

Darren Finebloom handled every aspect of my case with the utmost respect and professionalism. He made sure that I was fully versed in the laws surrounding it and that I knew all of my options. He and his staff were always available to me for phone calls, emails, or visits. Darren was on time and present for every court appearance and always reminded me of them as well. He never made promises, but his confidence in my case was obvious. He successfully got my charges dismissed.

From the very beginning, Darren and his staff were more than courteous and professional in handling my matters. The way they explained the process and steps necessary to be sure I was prepared for the whole ordeal was crucial in how my whole case was handled. In the end, my DUI charge was reduced to a Reckless Driving and I owe them a huge Thank You for seeing me through a very tough time in my family's life. I will always recommend Darren.

Great customer service!! Very pleased when they helped me very pleasantly over the phone today! 5 stars

Going into this dui #2 i thought that was completely done for. I remember using Finebloom and Hannel for a previous traffic infraction where my license was to be suspended for 5 years, well a short talk and a credit card later, i was free and clear, no suspention! So after meeting up with Darren and Maria Ann I knew this is who i was going with. My future looked grimm, but with these two at my side i felt a lot more confident. They really pulled out all the stops, worked the timing with the case and we came out on top!! They were a great team and will absolutly recommend them to anyone. Thanks agian!

I was arrested for a DUI in November 2012 based on an overzealous Sheriff's Deputy who has since resigned. Initially I spoke with Jeremy Simon and found him to be a very caring, understanding, and knowledgable person. In addition, my case was handled by AnneMarie Rizzo, whom exhibited the same. I can honestly say without AnneMarie and Jeremy I don't know what I would have done. They doggedly pursued the truth and worked very diligently on my behalf and due to their considerable efforts, as of today, my case was dismissed. This was the outcome I was hoping for but didn't think was in the cards. I will forever be in their debt and will recommend them highly without any reservations! They are both a huge asset to this firm!

Finebloom & Haenel is an excellent DWI and traffic ticket law firm in Sarasota. I have the highest respect for them, their abilities, ethical standards, and commitment to their clients. Anyone considering representation for DWI or any driving offense would be well served by hiring this law firm.

Rebel with a Cause
Not that he is so much of a rebel, but Darren Finebloom made a comment just after attaining the exact outcome that we had discussed to be the most optimum and best outcome for someone in my position. I was charged with a crime that I never should have been charged with, and we had decided to go to trial if the state did not realize that they should “drop” the case or for the non-lay person Nolle Prosequi, the Latin term used by legal professionals. Well, they did realize that Mr. Finebloom was obviously much more prepared and familiar with the facts pertaining to this case then any of the prosecutors, and the reason I thought of Rebel Without a Cause was his statement; “sometimes you just have to know when to play chicken”, and they turned first… The prosecutors originally told him that they were going forward with the trial. I guess they were hoping that this would scare him and me into taking a plea that I should not have to take. Needless to say Mr. Finebloom was not swayed in the slightest, but I cannot say the same for myself. I did get a little worried and was leaning towards taking the plea, but not Darren. He was steadfast in his conviction, and yes pun intended. Finally they reviewed the facts of the case again, and came back with the news of, Nolle Prosequi, and I couldn’t help but smile.

Although this may be a task regularly accomplished by Mr. Darren Finebloom, and the law offices of Finebloom and Haenel, it is an extreme rarity that I deal with the possibility of going to trial. Therefore, I feel that I must bring to any and everyone’s attention the outstanding service I receive by Finebloom and Haenel, namely Mr. Darren Finebloom. I am, of course, very delighted to have had the pleasure of dealing directly with Mr. Finebloom during my recent situation in Manatee County. His professional and courteous attitude, expert knowledge, and patience in handling my specific issues were very important to my complete satisfaction.
I am a full time student studying Criminal Justice and will be graduating soon. Mr. Finebloom ensured that my goals not be impeded by any of this by going above and beyond to accomplish the goals that we set forth. This is one less concern for me and I am deeply appreciative of his assistance and support. While I know that all attorneys are meant to do everything in their power to represent their client in the best possible manner, I feel that Mr. Finebloom treated my affairs with the utmost importance that I felt it truly deserved.
In the past, I felt that some attorneys were not sensitive to specific needs and provided the quickest and most convenient solution to a client’s problems from their own perspective. But, not in this case at all. Mr. Finebloom handled my issues as if they were his own, and I am completely satisfied with the outcome, and would advise anyone that may have an issue requiring legal assistance to choose the law offices of Finebloom and Haenel.
