The Hanzel Law Firm

"It’s a shame that a once well regarded law firm would hire a former prosecutor like Chris Czaplak. Then they take almost all his info off the website to cover it up once it was brought to light. You would think after all the lies and successful attempts to spy on defendants (our service members) and the legal team that surrounds them that you would never be able to practice law again. Unfortunately that’s not the case there will always be a no good money grabbing law firm that’s wants to know his tricks on how to ruin lives just for a check in the win column. Do your research and don’t get caught up in the swamp they are running."

"Some legal problems are simple and obvious, while others less so. I found Mike and Lauren Hanzel to be adept at handling military medical labor matters on an international level. When looking for this skill set, you cannot simply drive off post and hope for the best. In my case, the Hanzels demonstrated that necessary mix of poise, diplomacy, and technical sophistication one needs to navigate delicate medical credentialing matters before they grew to become bigger problems. Their instincts proved mission critical in protecting my credentials despite our being geographically separated from each other by the Atlantic Ocean. If you are looking for timely responsiveness, tenacious follow-through, and significant knowledge of military medical matters, look no further. They are the real deal."

"Mr. Hanzel while serving as a JAG in the United States Navy was assigned to my case. He was lead defense for my case and was always prepared for all the hearings and eventually my Special Court Martial. He is great to work with and always made me feel confident in our decisions going forward with my case. At the end of the trial I was found not guilty and I believe that was solely do to the great people I had working with me and Mr. Hanzel was a big part of that success. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing help. Thank again!"

"I worked with Mr. Hanzel on several issues while we were JAGs in the military. He is among the best attorneys I've ever worked with. Since his experience in criminal defense includes time as both a trial attorney and an appellate defense attorney, he is able to identify crucial issues at all stages of investigation and prosecution, enabling him to ensure his clients get incredible results at trial and maximize their potential for successful appeals. If I was in trouble I would not hesitate to hire Mr. Hanzel."

"Mr. Hanzel has had a very successful career as a Naval JAG attorney. I was fortunate enough to have Mr. Hanzel on my team for Court Martial proceedings. He is comfortable in a court room and knows the law well. He finds truth be his driving force in feeding his passion for justice. He is one of the few attorneys that is invested for all the right reasons. This is the attorney you want on you team!"
