t the law firm of John F. Hanzel, P.A., we pride ourselves on the ability to form long-lasting relationships and friendships with our clients — people who turn to us to handle the majority of their legal needs. Many people come to us with one problem and are so satisfied with the way we handle their cases that they come back to us repeatedly with the utmost confidence in our ability to assist them. We strive to help ordinary people with extraordinary problems. Mr. Hanzel has practiced law for 40 years and is highly experienced as a business, estate planning and auto accident attorney. At our law firm, the entire team strives to help you, from the most senior attorney to our dedicated support staff. We’re not like a lot of law firms. Simply put, we’re not stuffy. Mahogany walls and contracts that sound foreign are not our style. We think it’s important to be down to earth and to speak and write in plain English. Our offices are designed to be welcoming, not intimidating. Our staff refers to us by our first names, and that’s how we like to be addressed by our clients. We’re also active members of the community with strong ties in the area. We think it’s important to play a meaningful role in the communities in which we practice law and raise our families. That’s why we do pro bono work for local churches and nonprofits. We also sponsor local sports teams. We may be low-key and laidback in our demeanor, but we approach each case with determination. Auto accident victims need smart, aggressive attorneys to represent their interests when dealing with insurance companies and third parties. Business owners need experienced, dedicated professionals who understand that their livelihoods are at stake with each decision they make. Families need competent, caring estate lawyers to assist them with the important and difficult decisions that wills, trusts and other personal documents require when protecting assets and caring for loved ones. We realize that the process of finding and hiring an attorney in the Charlotte area to assist with these matters can be quite overwhelming. Our firm makes working with lawyers easy. We promptly return your phone calls and emails and provide a high level of accessibility to staff that other law firms do not.
