Great Attorney!
Steve knows his science in DUI cases! My case was dismissed because the State could not prove I was under the influence. I refused and was not intoxicated. Worth the money!

GREAT RESULTS!
Thank you so much Steve Hanna for your excellent ability to handle my dui case. I was not too happy to get thrown around by the court system and didn't think i even needed an attorney. After a good thrashing by the system the judge said to get an attorney asap. I was looking for an attorney who speci...
"I met Attorney Steven Hanna three years ago while attending a national seminar on DUI defense. Since then, Attorney Hanna and I have attended several other national level criminal law and DUI defense seminars throughout the country. I was, and am, impressed with his focused commitment and energy in learning and mastering the scientific issues regarding the highly-complex field of DUI defense, as well as the trial skills necessary for strong advocacy. We consult with one another regarding various administrative, procedural and substantive law issues in connection with DUI defense. If you are facing a criminal defense or DUI defense issue in the Moline, Illinois area, Steve Hanna is the attorney to contact!"
"I endorse this lawyer. I have worked with Steve for the past three years and have found his knowledge of the law, trial skills, tactics, and general approach to criminal cases to be excellent. Sometimes cases are won through a vigorous defense. Sometimes they are won through skillfull negotiation. Steve knows which approach to employ, and when, to achieve the best results. The laws relating to criminal defense seem to change daily. Steve works very hard to keep up to date on the current state of the law by attending numerous cutting edge seminars on a wide variety of issues relating to criminal defense and DUI's. Having a frim grasp of the nuances between the law yesterday and the law today can mean the difference between a case being dismissed and a client going to prison. If I were to ever be in trouble with 'the law', I would want Steve Hanna in my corner."
"Attorney Hanna is a very skilled and qualified litigator of the highest order. His ability to advocate effectively for his position is remarkable. His reputation for achieving great results for the citizen accused by the government of a crime precedes him. His reputation for excellence in all matters is a hard earned national one. This reputation far exceeds the bounds of his state as evidenced by this lawyer from Central Pennsylvania not only knowing of him but in that I can personally attest through first hand observation his high level of proficiency in litigation and in the defense of the citizen accused. Superior, fantastic and skilled. He is the one I would put in my corner every time."
"Attorney Hanna and I have attended several recent national seminars focused on DUI Defense issues. He is one who strives to maintain the highest level of education with respect to the numerous technical and scientific aspects of this highly specialized area of the law. In addition, Attorney Hanna is a skilled trial advocate. This combination makes him an easy choice when deciding on a criminal defense attorney. I recommend him without hesitation."
