DUI case lowered from a Felony to a Misdemeanor Reckless Driving

Will helped me dramatically with my DUI case. I originally started out with a Felony DUI where I was facing jail time and a ten year loss of drivers license. As a newly graduated college student, I was very scared about getting a felony and never being able to get the career level job I need. Continu...ing graduate school onward to finish a doctorate degree was in jeopardy. I needed someone that was confident and understood the importance of this case, and it being imperative that he either get the charges dropped or at the least get them lowered. Will did what he said he was going to do for me which was get my charges lowered to a reckless driving and continue on with my life, school, and career. That was the biggest thing in hiring Will was he was going to do what he said he was going to do for me and my family. Will definitely succeeded in this case and I would hire him again for any legal matter I needed handled, he is worth every penny I paid. The case outcome was a big relief to myself, family, and friends when he helped me get the result I needed. I recommend Will's knowledge, business manor, value, and years of experience to anyone needing legal representation.

Serious Legal Defense

I was falsely accused of a crime that I did not commit. I was referred to Mr Hanlon form another lawyer who stated he was a good lawyer. I contacted Mr Hanlon for a consultation and he accommodated me the same day. Some other lawyers tryed to give me an appointment for a few days later! In the time o...f legal stress no one wants to wait just to speak to a lawyer and Mr Hanlon was able to ease that stress by listening to and reviewing my case. It has been five months and my case has been dismissed form the States Attorney's office with no charges filed against me. I would recommend Mr Hanlon to anyone needing serious legal defense.

Knowledgeable, trustworthy lawyer that gets great results

Mr. Hanlon was able to get misdemeanor charges dropped against me within 2 1/2 months of the incident. I was looking for a lawyer on New Year's day and sent a couple of emails to local lawyers asking for a consultation. Mr. Hanlon called me within a couple of hours even though he was on vacation and ...it was New Year's day. He put me at ease with everything by being responsive, knowledgeable, and willing to walk me through each step of the process. He attended all of the court dates for me (there were 3 or 4), so I did not have to take time away from work to attend. Any time I had a question, he or his, equally amazing, assistant were very pleasant and helpful. In the end, Mr. Hanlon was able to get the charges dropped against me and now is working to get everything expunged.

Great Lawyer who is trustworthy; dropped misdemeanor

When I first went through my whole legal situation, I was extremely stressed out about not only the situation as a whole, but with the whole process to get rid of everything. When I talked to Will, he told me to not worry about i t anymore and that he had been doing this for a long time. He looked me... in the eyes and said he would take care of it. I put my trust in Will and I can say I made the right decision. He got my case dropped for me without me having to do anything. His communication with me during the process was great. If you're in trouble with the law, I highly recommend using Will as your lawyer. Now that my case is dropped, I will continue to support his business by getting my record expunged.

Worth every dollar

I don’t know where to begin when describing the services of Mr William Hanlon. I had just moved to Tampa thru the military and was pulled over on the way home from picking my brother up from the airport. The officer claimed he smelled alcohol but would not give me a on the spot breathalyzer. I was g...iven a field sobriety test but Claimed I failed it. I was then arrested and taken downtown where after booking I was offered to take a breathalyzer test which I refused. Very next day I contacted Mr Hanlon and he met with me on a Saturday even thought he wasn’t open. He told me he was always available and I could contact him on his cell. I stressed to him that a DUI could destroy my military career as well as my clearance. He made me feel very comfortable and contacted me through the process with updates. I felt that he was personally working as hard as he could for me and I knew he had other cases going on. The price was very affordable and worth every penny. Mr Hanlon had my case dropped and my job off my back in a matter of two months. I hope I will never need another lawyer but if I did I would go rite back, and would recommend civilians and definitely military to Mr Hanlon.
