DUI is one of the most destructive charges a person can face, and yet is one of the most common causes of arrest in Florida. DUI is also unique in that many of the people charged with this crime are first time offenders, who did not recognize their actions constituted a criminal offense. In fact, in Florida, you can receive a DUI even if you are not driving a vehicle.
Whether it's a fight on the street or domestic violence, assault and battery bring serious consequences in Florida, including fines and jail time, so you don't want to fight these charges alone. Hiring an Orlando assault attorney at Panella Law Firm will give you the support you need to build a strong case in your defense and to aggressively fight for your rights and freedom.
If you or a loved one has been convicted at trial, and you feel that something in the trial was unfair, or you did not receive adequate legal representation, there may still be hope. It may be possible to appeal your conviction to a higher court for review of the legal decisions made in your case. In some cases, this may lead to a new trial, a reversal of your conviction, or other relief.

First and foremost, Mike’s reputation precedes him. He’s just a solid guy with amazing legal talent that stands on it own. That said, Mike collaborated very well with all the professionals involved to include opposing counsel. He reduced the case to several core legal issues and took those to trial but only because we were forced to. Mike’s courtroom presence was clearly felt by all. His logic and legal tempering of the arguments were incontrovertible. In brief, Mike believed in me and my daughter, he truly cares for the pursuit of “justice” and he brought this nightmare to an end in

I hired Mr Panella about a year ago (November 2020) for a DUI case of a family member that was in the Country and then had to leave. Even though Mr Panella client wasn’t present he did not abandoned the case. He stayed on top of it the entire time communicating with me and doing everything on his power to finish the case and do the best for his client. He called me after hours and even on the weekend , no matter what day of time he was doing his job. He was always friendly and willing to do whatever it took to help us. I can honestly say that he went way and beyond his duty as a Lawyer to finish

I had the pleasure of working with attorney Huda with my time sharing case, and she was amazing! My case was a very difficult one and she did her best to make sure I wouldn't be screwed over again with it like I was the first go round with a different attorney. She had my back and looked out for the best interest of my child. Unfortunately, my ex passed away unexpectedly and the case will now have to be closed. I would recommend this firm to anyone who is looking for good law firm who will fight for the best outcome for your case. Thank you again for everything!

I must say they’re the best to go thru for your needs. I had a feeling to just check my drivers license and I seen a pending suspension on my CDLS from a red light ticket. I almost panic and then I searched google for the best lawyers to take care of traffic citations in the Orlando area. I found them, for sure who indeed represented me was very helpful! “Huda” informed me the steps to follow and also made sure she informed about my court hearing and that I did not have to show up. She texted me the night before and I was like I hope everything will be ok, THEN RIGHT AFTER MY HEARING I GET

I was absolutely mortified and embarrassed when I was arrested for a DUI. Then to find out it was ENHANCED with increased penalties shattered my world! Luckily I was referred to Mike Panella by a close friend and I was impressed from the start. He will stand by you and fight this thing all the way! Enhanced DUI reduced to a Reckless Driving with everything cut in half and NO DUI Enhanced FINE!!! Please before you go anywhere else, look to Mike Panella for any legal help. I guarantee you will NOT be disappointed. Don't believe me?? Look up my case on MyPalmBeachClerk.com, thank you from the

As an outside person who has personal knowledge of the good work of the firm has done for my friends. I can truly say this law firm is diligent and provides quality representation to their clients.
Attorney Mike and Huda both really care about their clients and works tirelessly to attain favorable judgement on behalf of their clients. The firm mainly practices criminal law, so upmost representation is imperative, and they provide just that.
I highly recommend Panella law firm for criminal and family law cases.
