Criminal Defense

You may not know what to do if the police contact you while you are being investigated for a crime. Law enforcement officers may contact you if you are a suspect in a case in order to ask you questions prior to an arrest and prior to giving the information to a prosecutor to pursue charges. It is critical to hire an experienced St. Petersburg criminal defense lawyer to protect your rights. You should not assume that there is a clear case against you, even if you have been arrested. Whether you are charged with a sex crime, a gun crime, a drug crime, or any other offense, you should retain legal counsel. At Hanlon Law, we understand that our clients' futures are at stake when they are investigated for or accused of a crime, and we work hard to provide a vigorous defense.
