About:

Whether you are accused of a felony or a misdemeanor in the Sarasota area, you should obtain legal representation as soon as possible. It can be important to hire an experienced attorney even before you have been formally charged. At Hanlon Law, Sarasota criminal defense lawyer Will Hanlon handles a wide range of these matters, including the defense of drug crimes , DUI, violent crimes, theft crimes, white collar crimes, sex crimes, domestic violence, and probation violations. We fight tenaciously to make sure that the voice of a defendant is heard. Regardless of the specific crime with which you have been charged, you should bear in mind that the charges against you need to be proven beyond a reasonable doubt. Every element that makes up the crime must be established beyond a reasonable doubt. Reasonable doubt is a tough standard. However, prosecutors usually file charges when they believe that they can win. Anything that you say to a prosecutor in trying to secure a plea deal could be a self-incriminating statement that gets you into more trouble. Accordingly, you should retain an experienced attorney who can look at the circumstances and the specific charges. Your attorney can develop a defense strategy, handle interactions with the prosecution on your behalf, advise you on how to protect your rights, and collect evidence to bolster your case.

"If you need a good man and a great lawyer, call Blair Jackson at Handlon Law. He was always there when I had questions and treated me with respect. If I needed a criminal lawyer again, I would go with Blair Jackson—he is Super!"
