      "I want to thank Mr. Jaffe and Mr. Whisonant for saving my life, for giving me another chance."

      My name is Fredrick Spencer, AKA Fred P. I want to thank Mr. Jaffe and Mr. Whisonant for saving my life, for giving me another chance. I was arrested and charged with murder on October 29, 2010. Mr. Jaffe and Mr. Whisonant took it all the way to trial and beat it. I was acquitted on January 26, 2012. My whole music career was on the line. I went through so much in this case. Mr. Jaffe and Mr. Whisonant helped me mentally and prepared me for everything that I was facing. I just want to thank God and everybody at Jaffe, Hanle, Whisonant & Knight, P.C. I have the best lawyers in the world. The Best.

      "He was attentive and punctual. He responded to anything I needed very quickly."

      I greatly appreciate Brett Knight's service. He was attentive and punctual. He responded to anything I needed very quickly. I can't speak on the other attorneys because I never met or spoke with them, but the office staff is extremely understanding and polite as well. This is the guy to call for assistance in any case. Thank you Brett Knight for everything.

      Brett Knight is not only a great lawyer but he is also a good person. If you do what he advises you to do, he will do whatever he can to help you in your situation. I could not have asked for a better person to have on my side during one of the worst things ive ever had to deal with. Thank you bret for all your help.

      "I am forever indebted to this firm."

      I would recommend this firm to any God-fearing man who wants to be treated as more than just an attorney/client relationship. This firm handled an allegation against me involving healthcare offenses. I have dealt with many attorneys in the past and this is the only firm that I consider family. Looking back and meeting other people who have been through similar white-collar circumstances makes you realize what a great job they really did for me. I am forever indebted to this firm.

      "I am very grateful for Mr. Hanle."

      I am very appreciative of Mr. Hanle and I know he will do what’s best for [my family member]. When I first saw him, I knew he was like the old-school lawyers – well-dressed, well-groomed, good at what he does, but still modest. I am very grateful for him.

      "A person of prestige and remarkable high stature, empathy - extremely admirable!"

      Dear Richard, I believe that no kindness should ever be ignored. Therefore, I find myself in a position of gratitude for the empathy you showed to this physically and financially disabled old lady. For you Richard, a person of prestige and remarkable high stature in the attorney arena, to take on a pesky "fall down" case is in fact a true "kindness"; and is extremely admirable!! You have my heartfelt thankful appreciation along with my hugs + kisses.

      "Provided us with the highest quality of legal and professional services."

      We had the fortunate experience of being clients of Richard Jaffe and his law firm. At all times, and over many years, Mr. Jaffe and his partners and associates provided us, our family, and our friends with the highest quality of legal and professional services. We have referred Mr. Jaffe's law firm to people from our community and our church and all have thanked us and praised the efforts extended to them. I do whole-heartedly recommend Mr. Jaffe and his firm to represent you if you are interested in the best of legal services and the most honest of communication.

      "I cannot thank him enough."

      When I met Richard Jaffe, it was the worst time in my life. I was being accused of a crime that I didn't commit and I didn't know how to prove it. When I came in, he listened to me, believed me, and fought for me. He was there for both trials, and if it was not for his expertise I'd be sitting on death row right now. I cannot thank him enough.

      "Delighted with this outcome, exceeded our high expectations."

      Richard, Attached please find the disposition letter from DHR concerning CLIENT's case. We are very pleased they found the case "not indicated." Based on our previous discussions, my family and I are delighted with this outcome. I sincerely appreciate the work of the Jaffe Law Firm on our behalf. You and Michael exceeded our high expectations in your work. You carefully explained the law as written and then drew from your experience to illustrate the difference between the letter of the law and the actual implementation of it. You also treated my family with respect at all times. Having such a terrible allegation against a family member is a heavy burden. It was very important to me that our defense team work with a single understanding of the truth in this case, and that my family was protected from snap judgments or condescension of any kind. You supported CLIENT, asked direct questions, and maintained a professional approach throughout. This was appropriate and helped us set aside our own emotional baggage to focus on the case. The thing I'm most appreciative of is the team approach to this case. Often, trained professionals in your position simply take over and make all the decisions for laymen needing support. It was important to me and my family to actively defend CLIENT together with your team. You and Michael were excellent pilots for us. The difficult events, from polygraph to psychological exam, were handled professionally which minimized the trauma on my son and our family. Please extend my gratitude to all involved.

      "I can honestly say, things wouldn't have gone so well had we not walked into your office."

      A letter of deep deep gratitude When my family and I first walked into your office our outlook seemed kind of gloomy due to what we were up against. From the beginning, you all were honest and straightforward on what I was up against and you shared every detail of what would be going on in the proceedings. As the meetings went on and the court sessions came and went, with your encouragement and your knowledge and your transparency you gave us hope and gave us peace during a very stressful time. You all were so personable that ya'll came to feel like family. I can honestly say, things wouldn't have gone so well had we not walked into your office. For that, my family and I are eternally grateful.

      "“God chose this firm for me!!”"

      I can't thank Richard and Michael enough for their expertise and their knowledge of white-collar representation. Most importantly how much they really cared about my well-being mentally and physically throughout this process! This was the most difficult time in my life but Richard, Michael, and the entire firm made me and my family apart of their family. I can never repay what they have done for me and those I love!

      "We are grateful that Mr. Jaffe had confidence in my son's ability to mature and move beyond his past mistakes."

      My 16-yr-old son was the driver of a car in an accident that killed one of his passengers, a teenage girl. (My son and the other passengers were wearing seatbelts except this particular girl. She was thrown from the car. Everyone else walked away from the accident.) They charged him as an adult for murder. There was no alcohol or drugs involved. Just immaturity. My son had no prior behavioral issues, arrests, or even problems at school. Mr. Jaffe was able to get the murder charge dismissed, and Youthful offender treatment and probation for my son. He did drug testing for over a year (ALL negative) and wore an ankle monitor for a year. He faithfully met with his probation officer every month and never missed a meeting or drug test. He went into counseling with a psychologist for about three years. The family asked that he do community service by speaking to teens about safe driving, but he had an intense fear of public speaking. (To this day, he takes every opportunity God gives to him to speak 1:1 to kids about safe driving and the importance of seat belts.) Since that time my son has become a certified personal trainer and is quite the encourager to many in the areas of weight loss and personal fitness. He also works in a lumber yard supervising a dozen men out of prison in a work release program. He urges them to not let their past define them or their future. He's able to be hard on them when needed, but he pushes them to move forward with their lives and overcome their past by making better decisions. We are so thankful to Mr. Jaffe for representing my son, for defending him against unreasonable consequences for his immaturity and poor choices. We understand someone wanting to make an example of a young person with lethal behavior behind the wheel of a car, but with no prior history of delinquent behavior and no drugs/alcohol involved, we appreciated Mr. Jaffe taking that into his consideration and defending him. We are grateful that Mr. Jaffe had confidence in my son's ability to mature and move beyond his past mistakes. My son never forgets what happened. He has to live with the knowledge that his actions took the life of a beautiful young lady, and it haunts him to this day. But he makes wise decisions and encourages others to do so as well.

      "This firm is the ultimate in legal representation."

      This firm is the ultimate in legal representation. Michael Hanle was my attorney in a recent case; his professionalism, knowledge, attentiveness to detail and mental support could have not been surpassed. I offer my greatest appreciation for a most ethical and successful experience.

      "They pursued a variety of outside the box options and seemed to exhaustively research every detail of my case."

      I was recently involved in a case involving multiple felonies and two separate states. I ended up retaining a local lawyer and an expensive, popular lawyer who specialized in cases such as mine. Concerned about the potential consequences i met with Mr. Jaffe and Mr. Knight and from the initial consultation my experience with their firm was as different as night and day from other comparable law firms (based on price and reviews). They were by far the most involved and dedicated and seemed to be the first attorneys to actually take my case seriously. They pursued a variety of outside the box options and seemed to exhaustively research every detail of my case. Above all they kept me up to date of every event and step required of me, most of the time contacting me before i even knew there was something i needed to be aware of. This was a far cry from having to call up my other attorneys weekly and still failing to get an appropriate response.

      "Thank you Richard Jaffe for all that you have done for me and my family!"

      In 2014, I had found myself in a very bad place not just personally, but legally as well. My family and I decided to put our trust in Richard Jaffe. This decision was no doubt the best decision that I could have made. Mr. Jaffe has my utmost respect both personally and professionally after the way he represented me during the most difficult time of my life. I was never made to feel like I was just another case. I felt like Mr. Jaffe truly wanted to see me rise above my circumstances and become a better man. Because Mr. Jaffe invested so much time and care into my case, I can truly say that 6 years later I am living my best life! Thank you Richard Jaffe for all that you have done for me and my family.

      "I would recommend using them to anyone that needs some hardcore lawyers."

      Jaffe, Hanle, Whisonant & Knight, PC is the best in the state of Alabama. They were very attentive and available to answer any questions my wife and I had. My case was not an easy case to handle - I had no evidence to prove my innocence. Mr. Jaffe and Mr. Whisonant came through for my family and me. I would recommend using them to anyone that needs some hardcore lawyers.

      "We highly recommend Richard Jaffe and the firm of JHWK."

      JHWK is an awesome group to work with and go above and beyond expectations!

      Richard Jaffe is a wonderful attorney and person who makes you feel valued in the face of extreme adversity. He provides emotional support and keeps you well informed every step of the way. He explains each step of a case and lets you what to expect and possible outcomes.

      Both Richard Jaffe and Jonathan Brown (JB) worked on our case and provided comfort and encouragement treating us more like family than clients despite all the issues that came up during the ongoing COVID pandemic.

      We highly recommend Richard Jaffe and the firm of JHWK to anyone who needs special care with a difficult case.

      "Where I perceived a threat, Richard saw opportunity."

      We were a part of a team 20 years ago that represented Gary Drinkard in a capital retrial...There was a body wire worn by the snitch, but the contents of the tape were inaudible. Two weeks before the retrial, we received a call from prosecutors that [a company] had successfully enhanced the audio...My immediate reaction was terror...Wise Richard Jaffe told me to take a deep breath and that he had a feeling that the tape was going to help us...[T]he enhanced tape picked up enough of the conversation to show that Gary Drinkard was not confessing...Gary was acquitted in one hour. Where I perceived a threat, Richard saw opportunity.

      My son was charged with serious offenses related to his use of the internet and was facing years in prison. Michael Hanle mounted an aggressive and extremely well-developed defense. Attorney Hanle always had the Judge's respect for his professional integrity and ability. We are very grateful for the outstanding job he did. He saved my son's life by avoiding a prison sentence.

      "His ability to respect and understand his clients’ perspectives are among the best available in Alabama."

      It is our privilege to write a review of services for Mr. Michael Hanle. Mr. Hanle provided expert legal representation for our family member between 2018 and 2022. The case took many turns throughout its duration; Mr. Hanle not only followed all the developments, but he also showed us his astute understanding of how to move to bring about the best possible outcome. Mr. Hanle was always available for consult and explanation, keeping us up to date on the status of the case, and providing a sense of calm and hope when we were feeling only frustration and anxiety. It is perfectly clear that Mr. Hanle’s deep understanding of the law, his broad connections upon which to draw when framing his defense strategy, his familiarity with the legal community throughout the state of Alabama, and his ability to respect and understand his clients’ perspectives are among the best available in Alabama. We would not hesitate to recommend Michael Hanle to anyone in need of his service.

      "Mr. Jaffe and Mr. Hanle did an excellent job with my son's case."

      Mr. Jaffe and Mr. Hanle did an excellent job with my son's case. The lawyers that were handling the case previously did a really poor job and Mr. Jaffe and Mr. Hanle were able to salvage the case with their work. They did an excellent job under the circumstances and I don't think they could have done a better job.

      I was part of a multi-year investigation by the US Government. To say that the bureaucracy and charges were intimidating would be an understatement. Luckily, I was referred to Richard and his team and they jumped right on the case. The final results were beyond anything I could have imagined, and it has allowed me to continue on with my life in peace.
