I hired Will Hanlon to represent me and an injunction he was able to quickly get it resolved and dismissed within the days of retaining him. I'm so appreciative of his legal knowledge and willingness to execute in court. If I were you, I would hire him to resolve as he acted very quickly! read more

I want to start by saying that I fully support law enforcement and personal accountability. However, my youngest son recently made a foolish decision, and a particularly overzealous police officer not only arrested him but charged him with extreme offenses that were completely inappropriate for the situation. I'm convinced that if it had been the officer's own son or a family friend, he would have handled it differently--perhaps with a stern warning or, at the very most, a misdemeanor charge. With little time to find the right attorney, we came across Michael Haworth and Hanlon Law online. I can't thank Michael and Mr. Hanlon enough for their professionalism, dedication, and understanding throughout this ordeal. They not only achieved the best possible outcome for my son but also took the time to listen to my fears, ensuring I always felt heard and supported. I was terrified that my son would get trapped in the system, and I couldn't eat or sleep. But Michael Haworth, with support from Mr. Hanlon, patiently addressed my concerns, presenting realistic options without making unattainable promises. They were committed to resolving this issue, and they did exactly that. I still believe in "law and order," but this experience opened my eyes to how one bad apple can tarnish people's view of law enforcement. This officer seemed determined to ruin my 14-year-old son's life by pushing for a potential prison sentence when he could have chosen a less severe path to teach him a lesson. He also called multiple times once he had nothing to do with it asking questions that the only motive could be to cause some sort of harm on my child, who is doing great now btw. Without Michael Haworth and Mr. Hanlon, my son might have faced a much harsher outcome. They approached the case with creativity and genuine care, always communicating clearly and making me feel confident in their representation. They are truly experts in juvenile law, and their experience and knowledge made all the difference. Over the years, I've worked with many attorneys--both corporate and criminal--through my business and for legal matters involving friends, employees, and family. Most attorneys don't communicate well or fight as hard as they would for their own family. But Michael Haworth and Mr. Hanlon are different. They provided multiple strategies and thought outside the box to make this situation go away. Very few attorneys have such extensive experience and understanding of the legal system for minors in Florida. One bad cop could have ruined my son's future, but Michael Haworth and Mr. Hanlon cared enough to craft a thoughtful, personalized approach that worked. They got the job done, plain and simple. If anyone finds themselves, or a loved one--especially a minor--facing legal trouble, I wholeheartedly endorse Michael Haworth and Mr. Hanlon. read more

Do not...I repeat do not hire anyone from this unlawful firm. Lazy, rude, and should be disbarred. If you do find yourself in the unfortunate position to have hired one of them....don't expect them to do anything...at all....and get frustrated when you ask questions or really contact them at all. read more

It has been easy for me to communicate with Mr Hanlon so that is a plus. He is helping me out on a marijuana charge right now. The case was not dropped like I had hoped, but from the explanation Will gave me it seems out of his control. I believe he genuinely cares and is seeking the best viable options for me. Still early in process I hope communication and hard work continue. I have paid upfront to Mr Hanlon. read more

I hired Mr.Hanlon for a few felony charges very small one being dui... He did absolutely nothing for me! I could have represented my self and got the same outcome. I paid him up front no payments and never gave him the run around about anything, whatever he wanted from me he got. I read reviews and thought he would be the best fit for me and I was totally wrong, he was even over 1 hour late to my court date and sent me to the wrong court house! Luckily I was early and had enough time to get to the correct court house before a bench warrant was put out for me for failure to appear.... now here is the worst part, after he did such a poor job of representing my case I still gave him another chance and paid him to get the probation early terminated at my half way point...... His secretary called me and told me she made me a court date for a over month later which was obsurd! I called and set my own court date and represented my self & set my own court date in less than two weeks! When the secretary told me that was the soonest court date available. nothing but lies, He only cares about him self and really does not care about his clients! I did not even ask for the refund because I didn't even want too deal with them anymore it was that bad. It took days for phone calls to be returned. Thanks to myself I am off probation! read more

This is the second time that William has been my defense lawyer. The first time I faced three felony charges and was looking at up to thirty years in prison. William rendered all charges DISMISSED. When I originally chose William as my lawyer, he literally answered his cellular phone upon my call. I was scared and had just bonded out of jail. He spoke at great length on the phone asking details about my situation. When I called other lawyers, I was answered by a receptionist that was, at best, willing to set up an appointment. William calmed me down and took away the anxiety I was experiencing. He didn't color coat my situation, and was very honest. I could tell by his demeanor that he actually cared about my situation and the crisis at hand. William holds the experience and wisdom of a tenured defense attorney, but still retains the energy and enthusiasm in pursuit of his objective. William's objective is to make the process as comfortable as possible while meticulously fighting your case. He counsels not only his clients but their family members as well. He returns calls ASAP and communicates thoroughly during process. I highly recommend him for counsel. read more

I was accused of rape. I contacted Will Hanlon on a Saturday afternoon. Will answered the phone himself. He was preparing for a trial that coming Monday. He told me to come to his office immediately to discuss the case. I met a crazy woman on an Internet dating site who had falsely accused me of this crime. Will instructed me to provide all of the concrete evidence needed to present to the court for the restraining order hearing and subsequent state criminal procedure. I followed Will's instructions to the letter. Needless to say, being accused of a crime that never happened was devastating. Will and his staff returned every phone call and most importantly with the evidence that we had proved my innocence. That said, we appeared in front of a female judge for the restraining order hearing. After Will got through with his questioning this woman.....the judge had heard enough! The judge admonished this woman for her lies and wasting the court's time. No restraining order, case dismissed. Next came the criminal procedure from the state. Will presented the evidence and result of the restraining order hearing to the state district attorney. The result; NO FILE! Will Hanlon had cleared me of a situation that could have ruined my life. Again, Will Hanlon fought for me and made sure that my name was cleared and that I was never charged of this crime. Thank you Will Hanlon! read more
