If you are charged with a crime in the Tampa Bay area, it is crucial to retain an experienced criminal defense attorney as soon as possible. Some criminal convictions carry mandatory minimum sentences, which means that the judge will have no discretion over the sentence and must impose a term of imprisonment as part of the sentence.

It is stressful being charged with a crime. Many people do not understand their rights and assume that there is a strong case against them if they have been arrested. This is not necessarily true. People charged with any type of offense should retain an experienced St. Petersburg or Clearwater criminal defense lawyer.
Sending your children off to college is never an easy thing. While they are no longer children they certainly aren't mature adults either. The first taste of real freedom can be an overwhelming experience for college age kids. It is also important to realize that it isn't just the kids that struggled to get into college that find themselves in trouble.

Will Hanlon is an excellent Clearwater criminal defense attorney. I feel extremely lucky that my parents found him for me. Will kept every word of his, and was able to get my charges dropped. I found myself in a really bad situation when I got arrested and I was worried sick that this would impact my standing as a student, and my future. Right away he put my family at ease. He met up with my dad in the middle of the night that everything happened. He was dedicated to my case the entire time. He always answered the phone, responded to emails, and provided answers with quickness. He was extremely

Will Hanlon is the most excellent Clearwater criminal defense attorney! I called Will on a saturday night after reading some of his reviews and needing help as soon as possible for my daughter. I wanted someone on the case immediately and he answered the phone. He talked to me and reassured me from what I told him that he will do everything he could to help and resolve the my daughter's case. He spoke to me like a family friend comforting and never made me feel alone. He was always available and answered all my questions and followed through on what he said he would and try and make happen and

Being an attorney myself, I never expected to be caught up in the criminal system. However, due to overzealous law enforcement I found myself charged with a crime I didn’t commit. I quickly realized that I didn’t understand the system, or any of the procedures. I interviewed several attorneys to assist me with my case, but I ultimately picked Hanlon Law. Will Hanlon asked questions and offered solutions that the other attorneys had not. He looked closely at the individuals and personalities involved in the case, not just at the criminal charges. I felt as though he wanted to understand me and

Mr. Hanlon and his firm aggressively defended my rights and worked with his counter part from the state's attorney's office..They reviewed the case and it was determined that these charges filed against me should be dropped. As it turns out, my case was resolved before my trial date.
His staff treated me and my family with total respect. We appreciated that very much.
I have proceeded with my life and hope to be a better person.
Thank you again Hanlon Law.
I would highly recommend them to the public as a reliable, knowledgeable, and aggressive firm as a great criminal defense firm.
