Aggressive and Caring Attorney

Mr. Hanlon was extremely professional and kept me informed every step of the way in my case. I was even able to get in touch with him on the weekends. He always returned my calls extremely fast, usually within a few hours, and sometimes within minutes. He made me feel like he truly cared about my ind...ividual situation. In my opinion he was very aggressive in my case and I felt he did everything possible to defend and win my case. I definitely will recommend him to anyone searching for a good attorney.

Believed In me

I was very scared of being falsely accused of assault and had no idea what to do. I happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. I was recommended to call Will and he would assist me with the alleged accusations. Will met with me the following day and started on my case. Will truly beieved in m...e and knew I was not capable of the charges that I was facing, it's just not me. Will assured me we would get through this and it would be a “no file”. Will wrote a letter and I provided him with Character Letter's from my friends and colleagues. Will provided this information to the State Attorney’s office and requested a no file based on the characters that accused me. Every time I called Will he would answer my calls, if he was in court he would call me right back same day. We received a No File from the State Attorney’s office within 30 days from the date I met him. I would recommend Will to anyone in a difficult situation.

Sex Offender review

I first met Will in 2007 when I was charged with a very serious felony. I had a consultation and Will was very patient as I went thru all the details. After his hard work for 16 months with states attorneys in Hillsborough criminal court trying to get the case dismissed he was able to work a plea. Af...ter serving almost 5 years probation, Will was able to get the probation terminated early. Will was very generous in working out a contract and payment terms. He always made himself available for questions and concerns. If you are charged with any crime (and especially a sex crime) don't hesitate to give Attorney Hanlon a call. I rate him highest merit and professionalism.

Excellent Defense Attorney!

I retained Mr Hanlon for two cases I had for domestic battery and marijuana possession. I had outstanding warrants on these charges for almost two years and I now live in Arizona. The charges and warrants haunted my life. They made it very difficult for me to move on, or gain any success with employm...ent. I returned to Florida and ended up arrested in Family court, after the judge learned of my warrants. My Hanlon had me ROR'd the following morning. I returned to Arizona and awaited trial. Mr Hanlon was able to file a waiver of appearance so I did not have to return to Florida. He handled both cases very quickly and without me present. The end result was all three charges on two separate cases were dismissed. I couldn't be more pleased with the service I received from Mr. Hanlon. Both him and his assistant Kathy were a pleasure to work with. They were both very informative and quick to respond to any inquiries I had. I would definitely hire Mr Hanlon again, if needed. I also highly recommend him to anyone needed an excellent criminal defense attorney.
