Best attorney ever!

My wife and I are so grateful to John Hager for the remarkable defense he provided me.

John and his staff were so supportive and always available to speak with throughout the process.

Thanks to John's legal expertise, the very serious charges I was facing were dismissed.

We can't thank him enough and highly recommend Hager & Schwartz if you need the best legal defense.

Mr Hager and his firm were very professional, pleasant and hard worker. I highly recommend this firm. Thank you again Mr Hager and your staff.

Mr Hagar handled my case with the utmost professionalism and expediency. I was also very impressed with Mr. Hagar’s follow up giving me updates on the progress. I would highly recommend this law firm.

I'm a person who checks reviews on anything and everything before making a decision or purchase of any kind as I'm a single mom on a budget and I'm sometimes skeptical if reviews are all legit. I ultimately chose Hager & Schwartz for my 19 yr old son's case, not only due to their reviews, but also on how educational & informative their website is which includes videos of Free criminal defense information and also offers an insight to the type of attorney you'd be dealing with to represent you, of all my research for the right attorney I didn't see that from any other attorney online. On their website it says you can reach them 24/7 they are not lying, I called in the evening and to my surprise Mr Hager is the one who picked the phone I was stressed & nervous to say the least about the whole situation and having to contact an attorney as you hear such bad stories about attorneys and their attitudes and lack of attention or care to your case especially after they get your money, but that wasn't the case at all with Mr. Hager who was very personable and made me feel comfortable and stress free immediately after speaking to him about my sons charges as he assured me that he would get right on it there was nothing to worry about. Also not to forget Mr. Hagers very helpful assistant Thuy who also was in constant communication VIA phone or email and made arrangements for phone communications even in the evening due to my work schedule and my sons school schedule.
Without getting into case details my son was surprised with a misdemeanor charge 6 months after an accusation was made and he had already been away attending school 4 hours away in Miami as a mom I didn't want anything to disrupt or ruin my sons education such as having to leave school every couple weeks or months for a case that I'm sure a Prosecutor and a court appointed attorney would allow to continue to stretch out until they got the results they wanted making my sons life a hell until he either he failed his schooling or would give in to a guilty plea in order to not fail school or from exhaustion. Mr. Hager handled everything and every court hearing and my son didn't have to leave school to attend not one court appointment and the ultimate result was having the case dismissed.
I think I made the best decision and would highly recommend Hager & Schwartz to anyone who is seeking a criminal attorney for themselves or a family member.

As a Retired Police Chief from Pa I called on Hager & Schwartz on a Saturday and John Hager took my call. Mr Hager wasted no time in obtaining witness statements and building the Defense for my case. John Hager worked diligently with the Prosecutor . Mr Hager always returns calls. is very personable and pleasant to deal with.A Class Act !

Received from a friend ... I am a 78 year old man who found himself pulled over for exceeding the speed limit in Daytona Beach Shores, Florida., ultimately resulting in a charge and arrest for DUI. Fortunately, my companion located John Hager through Google Search. Within hours John had arranged my release from custody and arranged a meeting with me at his office. John fully informed me of the Florida legal procedures on a DUI charge, took me through my defense options and reviewed with me a plan for a defense. After a four month process, during which John kept me fully informed, he concluded an arrangement that permitted my charge to be settled without conviction, and without ever requiring my appearance in court. During this whole period I found John to be professional, responsive and sensitive to the anxiety the situation was causing me. I would highly recommend John Hager to anyone facing criminal charges in Florida. Thank you John,

Attorney Hager and his office were simply amazing. I have never had to work with an attorney before so I was somewhat terrified and nervous about the process. From the moment he answered my first phone call he made me feel at peace and was extremely confident in being able to help with the case. He was available for every call I made throughout the case as well as kept me updated on any changes within minutes of it happening. The state was pushing for time in this criminal case but in the end Mr. Hager got probation reinstated with the same end date. I would definitely use him and his team in the future for any legal matters that may arise.

Love John Hagar

Mr Hagar is a very talented lawyer.
He did an excellent job representing me. He proved to the court that I was not guilty of the charges against me.

Was happy with my services quick and got my charges dropped.

I would highly recommend this Law firm for anyone seeking an excellent attorney. Prompt call backs. Easy to speak to. Staff goes above and beyond to answer all of your questions. They are extremely professional as well. You will be very happy choosing them to represent you. Definitely 5 Stars !!!!!

Mr. Hager is the BEST Lawyer out there! We were on vacation and found ourselves in the biggest nightmare imaginable. I was falsely accused of two harsh felonies. John spoke with us over the phone and we felt 100% confidence in him from the very first phone call. He had my case was dismissed within 3 weeks, without ever stepping foot in a courtroom. He truly knows what he is doing and he always answers his phone no matter what! We couldn't have made a better decision when we chose to hire Hager & Schwartz.

John Hager answered my phone call after midnight. He represented me for 5 months, during which he keep me informed and up to date. When I did have a question about my case, he had an immediate and confident answer; like he had my case file with him at all times.

While being faced to deal with a legal matter is rarely an enjoyable experience, I must say that working with Mr Hager and his team was an extremely smooth process. From the first phone call Mr Hager presented himself as knowledgeable, displayed a high attention to detail, and an unparalleled dedication to advising me in my best interest and kept me well informed of the case the events.
I am confident that the teams dedication to their clients and professionalism was the cause for a favorable outcome to my case.
I would highly recommend the Hager & Schwartz legal team.

Without getting into too much detail Mr. Hager was great to work with. I would recommend him for anyone having problems with the Florida system. Thanks so much to he and Thuy!

Mr. Hager helped a loved one of mine and was outstanding. I am seriously impressed with him. He is kind, courteous, patient and works extensively for his clients. He deserves 10 stars! If you need superior legal representation call him. 100% recommend him, he is superb.

John Hager is an amazing Lawyer! Worked very hard even Saturday and Sundays to get our son out and ultimately got the case totaly dismissed. Our sons went to NASCAR when one got arrested on Daytona shores.
It was so scary as we live four hours away.
Thank God we found John Hager and highly recommend him!
Thank you so much John!

Very professional and got results better then expected. Highly recommend!!

I can honestly say without a doubt that if it hadn’t been for the diligence of Mr John Hager, and Mr. Todd Onore, my sons would be in prison right now. They were looking at significant time due to circumstances revolving around their addiction. Not only did he keep them out of doing prison time, but got them the much needed help they have so desperately needed. I am forever grateful to Mr Hager and his associate Mr Onore. They were professional, pulled no punches, and always available to me. They kept me in the loop the entire process. Thank you so much!

I can’t begin to adequately express my gratitude for the extraordinary job Mr. John Hager did handling my son’s case. He turned a wrong into a right by getting false charges dropped and the case dismissed! From our first conversation to our last, he was professional, persistent, diligent, knowledgeable, and patient and prompt in answering all my questions. He kept in constant contact with me which gave me piece of mind during a very stressful time. Hiring John Hager was one of the best decisions I have ever made!

Excellent law firm, Mr Hager and his assistant Thuy were very professional and efficient, provided reassurance and answered all questions, went beyond expectation especially with the time frame, I totally recommend this law firm.

There are no earthly words to describe how greater than great John Hager and his team are. It's as if you'd want to go out and crime it up. Fast. Effective. Best results.

John Hager and Brett Schwartz are extremely proficient in law. Everything I was told happened as it should, I’d gladly acquire their services again. Having a once, state prosecutor, certainly helps when you are dealing with the state. They listen, they are thorough, they will fight for you to prove you’re innocent and they will deliver!

I am very happy I called Hager & Schwartz to represent me. From the moment I spoke with John Hager regarding the charges against me, I was confidently assured that he and his team would have the charge dismissed. John was quick and had all the answers at his fingertips. I strongly recommend you select this outstanding firm to represent you when in need.

I hired Hagar & Schwartz to represent me in a case that involved driving with a suspended license and DUI. Once Hagar and Schwartz took the case I didn not have to appear in court and was able to reinstate my license to drive right away. After a short period of time the case was dismissed and all charges dropped. They were professional and knowledgeable. The communication about the progress was outstanding and I would recommend their services to anyone who needs legal representation. Thank you so very much! Great job.

I was represented better than I could have ever imagined. My needs were put first and was treated as a friend rather than a number. My nerves were calmed and the process was always explained. My attorney, John Hager, went above and beyond and did everything he could to ensure a great outcome. With his past experience as former prosecutor and many connections, he was also able to expedite my case. I couldn't have asked for a better law firm or attorney. Thanks guys!!!”

My wife and i were very satisfied with the outcome of her case. John Hager was very professional throughout the process, he kept us updated with the case and got the case dismissed. I would highly recommend Hager and Schwartz.

John Hager was an excellent attorney. He had my case dismissed within a month and my case was dismissed before I even had a court date.

These guys have kept me up to date on my case with me calling them on a daily basis. They have even called me to see how i was doing . If I need a lawyer again i would be using them .

Mr Hager did an amazing job. I know many may say this, but I was truly the victim in this case. Had to defend my life once, then once again from the government itself. Mr Hager never doubted me from the beginning and made it clear my case was just as important to me as to him. I was facing a maximum of 30 years in prison. Two accounts of aggravated battery. He got me down to 1 misdemeanor battery, 6 months of probation, and 8 hours of anger management. I am EXTREMELY happy with his services.
KEY FACTORS:
1. He communicated all the time
2. Very responsive.
3. Listened to me and never doubted me.
4. Educated and very Knowledgeable.
5. Experienced
6. Worth the money, Very Affordable!

Mr. Hager is a wonderful man. Having never been introuble before I had no idea where to begin. He was very kind and knew what to do. He helpped me in a difficult time and I am so greatful for all he has done. If I ever need another attorney or ever need to recommend one Hager is the man!

Mr John Hager is a five star lawyer. From the initial call to the last conversation, Mr Hager kept us informed. He provided my son with peace of mind. He was able to take charge of the case and provide us with a positive result. I highly recommend attorney John Hager, not only for the prompt response but for the value as well.

Mr Hagar deserves more than 5 stars to be honest, he really helped me through an extremely grueling time ! I highly recommend him for any legal issues you may be facing , He as well as God and prayers will most definitely get the job done !! I beat my case - it’s dismissed ! No probation- nothing ! He was able to get an aggravated battery with a deadly weapon charge completely thrown out, now I can live my life stress FREE again and make better decisions !!! You’re AWESOME Mr. Hagar !!

My experience with Mr. Hager and his firm was excellent. It is difficult to find someone you trust to handle delicate situations and he and his staff were communicative and thorough. Their experience made my situation manageable and not so scary.

I’ve had the opportunity to work with John Hager over the years, and he is the most diligent, talented attorney I know. He excels in both pretrial litigation and trial strategy, and goes above and beyond as an advocate for his clients. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

I moved to Nashville about ten years ago after practicing in South Florida
for a long time. I needed someone I trusted to handle my Florida cases after I left.
I did not hesitate to select John and Brett to handle that responsibility. They are extremely
talented and hard working lawyers. I am very sensitive about referring clients to other
lawyers so the fact that after all these years I continue to send my Florida clients to
John and Brett speaks volumes as to the quality of service they provide. Anyone looking
for first rate criminal defense attorneys in the Volusia County area should be calling Hager and Schwartz.

John has always taken care of me every time I've needed him. He's not only dependable, but he is always responsive and takes the time to fully communicate any answers I need. Importantly, he brings me the results as well. Very thankful for such a client oriented attorney.

Great lawyer. Remained in contact throughout the case and served my needs wonderfully. Highly recommend and worth every penny

After doing some research on different lawyers in Daytona Beach, I decided to trust John Hagar with my case and couldn't be happier. The results of his hard work exceeded my expectations and words can't express how thankful I am. John was always available and attentive which isn't always the case with some of these attorneys. He was able to get my case dismissed and his pricing is very reasonable for his quality of work. I definitely recommend John Hagar at Hagar & Schwartz.

Always available and excellent service!

I recently represented a mutual client whose family member was being falsely accused of a very serious crime. Hager & Schwartz, P. A. conducted a very exhaustive investigation and left no stone unturned. Consequently, no charges were ever filed as John Hager was able to convince the lead detective on the case that no crime was committed. These are very serious and committed lawyers who have my trust and future business.

John Hager was very easy to talk to and very empathetic to my situation. I was able to get my case dismissed and I felt at ease throughout the whole process. I would definitely recommend Hager and Schwartz for any legal advice and help.

What an amazing experience and very affordable!! They were very honest and answered all questions that I had. I highly recommend Hager and Schwartz!!!

John is a very knowledgeable and thorough attorney. I had the pleasure of working several cases with him and we achieved very successful outcomes. I look forward to working on more cases in the future as I am always learning from this excellent attorney.

John Hager went above and beyond!! He was very understanding and sympathetic to my situation and helped me get through everything without me having to panic. I never waited for a phone call back nor did I feel like I was getting brushed to the side. He handled my case with a great deal of professionalism and was able to get my matter resolved quickly. I would HIGHLY recommend Mr. Hager!!!

I got into some trouble in Daytona and John Hager provided an excellent service by getting my case dismissed through a deferral program. I had zero court costs and I have a clean record thanks to him! Thanks John for giving me the opportunity to regain my freedom!

Mr Hager is a great attorney. He helped me through a tough situation getting me a result in my favor. He did everything he said he was going to do I would trust him and the firm again. Thanks !!

THE BEST !!!!!!!!!! PROMPT SERVICE AND WAS ABLE TO GET MY CASE THROWN OUT.......DEF RECOMMEND THE SERVICES OF HAGER AND SCHWARTZ!!!!!!!!!!

I hired him about my two case , he is not worked for me , he is after money not about his client. He visited me in jail two times and stayed only 2-3 minutes. He came with deal that against me. He try to deport me. I was in jail for 6 months because of him until my family fired him and get another lawyer his name steave robinson. He charged me way less money and drop one of my charge and get me out from jai. I will not recommend him even not in my enemy.

John was experienced, professional, knowledgeable, and helped me get the false injunction dropped quickly so I could go back to school.

Amazing Service!! I highly recommend them!!

Charged with a misdemeanor and finding myself in unexpected trouble (first time in my life of 50+ years), I didn't know where to turn. Not knowing the law or my rights, I researched attorneys in the Daytona area and called John S Hager (who answered on the first ring on a Sunday evening). He gave me excellent advice and quickly had my case dismissed. He is now working to expunge this unfortunate ocurrence from my record. I would GLADLY recommend him to anyone requiring legal support. Also, his paralegal (Thuy) is superb and spent a lot of time advising me by phone. John S Hager helped me through the scariest experience of my life. An excellent choice.

I was arrested on a misdemeanor domestic violence charge while visiting my daughter in Florida. She had falsely accused me of striking her and had me arrested. She was intoxicated and I was not aware of it when she started arguing with me and when she started screaming at me I was leaving when the police who were in the area came to investigate what the screaming was about. She had run into her home when she saw them coming and the police arrested me because she accused me of striking her. I spent two days in jail and when I came before the judge he released me on under pretrial services ‘call in’ supervision until could go to trial. I contacted the Hager & Schwartz law firm and spoke to Mr. John Hager who I retained to represent me in defense of my case. Mr. Hager told me he would handle everything and not to worry because the case should be dropped due to the circumstances of the case and evidence. I was worried that since I work for a state job having to go to court could affect my job. Mr. Hager promptly go the paperwork I needed to complete and submit to me and then quickly filed the needed paperwork with the court. He was very professional and kept me up-to-date on what was transpiring with the case. Mr. Hager was always courteous and prompt in returning my calls and text messages. Mr. Hager was able to quickly get my case dismissed which was a huge load off my mind.
I was in law enforcement for many years and during that time I have not known a lawyer like Mr. Hager, who was able to handle a case so quickly. I highly recommend Mr. John Hager, Esq. and the law firm Hager & Schwartz to anyone wants a great attorney to represent them in any legal matters they may have.

I hired the law firm of Hager & Schwartz to defend me in a criminal case. I was arrested for a first degree felony, Grand Theft. I was shocked, disheartened, and at a loss. This was a very trying time for myself and my family. My career and the life I’ve spent years building was in serious jeopardy. My wife and I interviewed about ½ dozen lawyers, and John was the one we felt most comfortable with. I spoke to John Hager on the phone, and explained my side of the case. He listened, asked a lot of questions, and was very knowledgeable of the criminal proceedings. I met with John in his office a few days later with my wife. He will not make you any promises on the outcome of the case. He will let you know where you stand, and the possible outcomes of your case. John worked hard on my case, and he was always there to answer any questions that I had. I would call or email him late at night, on the weekends, and he would always call me back. He was a partner, by my side the entire way. From his diligence, research, and guidance, my case was eventually dropped by the prosecution. John was in the middle of two larger cases than mine, but he always managed to make time for me. If you’re looking for a great lawyer, I would strongly recommend that you do yourself a favor and sit down with John Hager, listen to him, and hire him.

John Hager is a very well connected and respected lawyer. The fact that he knows all the judges, prosecutors and other attorneys throughout Florida, helped expedite quickly the resolution of my case in exactly the terms I desired. He is undoubtedly experienced. His confidence and authority shined through in the courtroom as well as while deposing opposing parties. He does not back down or let anybody push you as his client around. If you want a tough and smart lawyer, John Hager is the one for you.

I was able to hire John Hager in the middle of the night upon learning that my daughter had been unjustly arrested without bond. He was able to get her released on her own recognizance later that day, and had all charges dismissed prior to the arraignment. He successfully obtained a restraining order against her ex boyfriend with full rights to the house and belongings. At the same time he successfully argued that the ex-boyfriend's restraining order against my daughter be dropped. We maintained constant communication. My daughter describes him as a pitbull in court. That is exactly who you want defending you. In addition, he is very well connected and knows all the players in the legal system. Mr. Hager is expensive, but he is worth every penny.
