    Michael W Hanley - Exceptional Criminal Defense Lawyer…read more I cannot express enough how grateful I am for the outstanding legal representation provided by Attorney Michael W Hanley. Facing a felony charge and a DUI was an incredibly daunting situation, but Michael's expertise, dedication, and professionalism truly made a difference in my life. From the moment I contacted his office, Michael was attentive, responsive, and empathetic to my situation. He took the time to listen to my concerns and thoroughly explained the legal process, putting my mind at ease during a very stressful time. Right away, I knew I was in good hands. Michael's extensive background and over 27 years of experience as a trial lawyer were evident throughout my case. He handled my situation with the utmost care and was determined to achieve the best possible outcome for me. His reputation for zealous advocacy is well-deserved, as he fought tirelessly to protect my rights and advance my cause. One of the things that impressed me the most was Michael's ability to handle both my felony charge and DUI case. He demonstrated a deep understanding of the law in both areas and skillfully navigated the complexities of each case, resulting in a reduced felony charge and a favorable resolution for the DUI. Aside from his legal prowess, I also appreciated Michael's fair and flexible pricing. Facing legal issues can be financially straining, but he worked with me to find a payment plan that accommodated my budget, which made the process much less burdensome. Throughout the entire ordeal, Michael was always available to address my questions and concerns promptly. Communication was a top priority for him, and I never felt left in the dark about the progress of my case. This level of accessibility and support made a significant difference during such a challenging time. I first heard about Michael from a family friend who had also benefited greatly from his representation. It was clear from their experience and mine that Michael is a lawyer who genuinely cares about his clients and goes above and beyond to secure the best possible outcomes for them. I highly recommend Attorney Michael W Hanley to anyone in need of a skilled and dedicated criminal defense lawyer. Whether he is fighting your case in front of a jury or negotiating a favorable settlement, you can trust that Michael will leave no stone unturned in pursuit of justice. Thank you, Michael, for your unwavering support, exceptional legal representation, and for ultimately helping me move forward with my life. You are a true professional, and I am forever grateful for all that you have done for me. Sincerely,

    It was the single worse telephone conversation that I have had in my life when seeking information,…read moreand I am 66 yo, and have been a lot of places and interfaced with a lot of different systems. In my history I worked in the field of Long Term Care Ombudsmanship, I was a trained mediator through Kenneth Cloke, I was an internationally recognized Ombuds Scholar mentored by Stanley V. Anderson and was a published author and conference presenter. My last paper was accepted into the Harvard Law Negotiation Journal (I was shifting careers, and moved on). I am neurodivergent on a "gifted" spectrum, and what I experienced, for me personally, I experienced as assaultive I had a stress reaction and my body went into shock, and it began to shake... etc. He asked inappropriately who my attorney had been, after I was destabilized. He used a process of not answering the two questions I was attempting to ask directly, and went back and forth, and told me I was all over the place, which, in abuse terminology is called DARVO. It was a projection of his behavior. For anyone who is a survivor of domestic violence, I would suggest, steer clear. My first goal was simple, advisement on whether or not moving forward with a DOJ administrative hearing would be beneficial or not. He expressed clearly he isn't interested in this type of case. I said, well, maybe I'll just have to do it myself, hung up, and sent a note to my treating doctor about the experience who is helping me as I process leaving 33 years of Domestic Violence and Coercive Control. Additionally, I worked in a receptionist capacity for 14 years with a firm that specialized in Litigation, Real Estate Formation, Estate Planning, and Corporate Formation. NEVER EVER EVER was a client treated in this fashion. NEVER! I was responsible for juggling calls, did some transcription work, client relations going in and out of the office, many things, and NEVER in a thousand years would those 8 attorneys and of counsel attorneys act in such an assaultive way to a prospective client. I was working multiple vocations, and this was juggling my community service to the local arts community, national, and international arts community. I volunteered my work to the foundation I created and was of service to my own work, and to artists from Israel, Turkey, Austria, Slovenia, other countries producing festivals on the West Coast, the East Coast, in Europe. My first art award was as a student, I was a soloist in a dance film, that won a CINE Golden Eagle Award, associated with the likes of Spielberg and Oprah. My first professional review working for a professional local dance company coined my work, "astonishingly gifted".

He did nothave the intellectual capacity to grasp the situation effectively in a short period of time. He did not have the capacity to hear and understand that I wanted to focus on one thing, an administrative hearing, assessing if it was worth it go. It was not what I was expecting, I had used my "giftedness" to create a possible possible paths forward for my primary goal. I had simply wanted to make an appointment to come in and show the two legal briefs I had prepared based on my own research. It was the same research modality that led to an invitation from Stanford University to apply for a phd track in economics, the same modality for the Ombuds research, etc., etc, It seemed like some weird showmanship with him saying he'd tried a case this way and that way, which wasn't what I was looking for. He digressed, and I was so off guard by the approach, I was not able to bring him back what my primary goal was. I am tracking how long it took my nervous system to become regulated. We spoke at 10:30 am and it is now 4:37 and slowly, things are settling.
