BRADENTON CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY

The Hanlon Law Firm
Criminal Defense Attorney in Bradenton, FL

It can be intimidating and distressing to be accused of a crime. However, a
conviction is not assured. All crimes must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt.
If you are being investigated for a crime, it is important to secure
representation by a criminal defense attorney as soon as possible. At Hanlon
Law, we are dedicated to defending people accused of drug crimes, sex crimes,
violent crimes, domestic violence, theft crimes, white collar crimes, child
abuse, and college campus crimes. The earlier that we can get started, the
sooner that we can develop a strong defense strategy on a client’s behalf. We
have more than two decades of experience in Florida criminal courts, obtaining
numerous dismissals, acquittals, and reductions in charges.


Drug Crimes

Drug crimes are punished harshly in Florida. Controlled substances include
cocaine, heroin, Fentanyl, hydrocodone, ecstasy, methamphetamine, and oxycodone,
among other examples. The potential sentence for possessing any of these
substances can include prison time and a fine. When the charge is drug
trafficking, the judge will not have discretion over the sentence and must
sentence you to the mandatory minimum for that amount of the controlled
substance. This is one of the reasons why you should retain a criminal defense
attorney in Bradenton who can help you aggressively fight the charge.

It is important to be aware that drug trafficking charges are not reserved for
people involved in organized crime. In fact, you do not even need to deliver a
drug to another person to be charged with drug trafficking. The issue is whether
the amount of the controlled substance or mixture of a controlled substance and
something else hits the statutory limit for the particular controlled substance.
Weight limits differ among controlled substances. For example, the statutory
threshold to be charged with cocaine trafficking is 28 grams or more of cocaine
or a cocaine-containing mixture. If you are caught with somewhere between 28
grams and 199 grams of cocaine, you will face a mandatory minimum sentence of
three years’ imprisonment and a $50,000 fine.

Sex Crimes

There is a wide range of sex crimes that may be charged in Florida, including
child abuse, sexting, lewd and lascivious crimes, rape, prostitution, child
pornography, and traveling to meet a minor. These types of charges can ruin a
suspect’s life. In some cases, part of the sentence includes a requirement that
a convicted defendant register as a sex offender or sexual predator. Among other
things, when the charges involve sexual misconduct with minors, it is important
to realize that ignorance or belief about a victim’s age is no defense. In
Florida, the age of consent is 18. Even people who genuinely believe that the
other person involved in the sexual act was not a minor and even people deceived
by the minor about their age can be convicted of sex crimes involving minors,
such as lewd and lascivious crimes. It is crucial to retain a Bradenton criminal
defense attorney who understands how to defend against sex crime charges.

Violent Crimes

Violent crimes include rape, aggravated battery, aggravated assault, and
robbery. These crimes may involve only a credible threat of violence (aggravated
assault), but they can also result in great bodily harm, permanent
disfigurement, or permanent disability. What must be proven depends on the
particular charge. For example, if you are being charged with aggravated battery
under Florida Statute section 784.045(2), the prosecutor must prove beyond a
reasonable doubt that you knowingly or intentionally hit someone using a deadly
weapon. If the prosecutor proves this, you can face a maximum of 15 years in
prison and a maximum $10,000 fine. You might assume that you could only be
charged under this section if you used a firearm or knife, but in fact, you can
be charged for striking someone with a deadly weapon even if what you used is a
broken beer bottle, a baseball bat, or a rock.

Domestic Violence

When the police are called to a house due to domestic violence, it is probable
that somebody will wind up arrested. Florida Statute section 741.28 provides
that domestic battery includes actual and intentional touching, hitting, or
injuring someone with whom the perpetrator has a familial or household
relationship. Family and household members include spouses, ex-spouses, blood
relatives, people living together as a family, and people who parent together,
regardless of whether or not they are married. Domestic battery is usually a
first-degree misdemeanor charge. If you are convicted, the potential sentence is
a maximum of one year in jail and a maximum fine of $1,000. You may also need to
complete a Batterer’s program, perform community service, and abide by a
no-contact order or injunction.

Theft Crimes

Theft involves depriving somebody of their property without their consent or
knowledge. Theft crimes include money laundering, dealing in stolen property,
computer crimes, forgery, shoplifting, fraud, embezzlement, identity theft,
stealing a car or motorcycle, robbery, burglary, and writing bad checks.
Bradenton criminal defense lawyers can help you develop a defense strategy
against any of these charges. In Florida, theft can be charged as petit theft or
grand theft, depending on how much the property that was stolen is worth. Petit
theft of the second degree is charged if the property is less than $100.
First-degree petit theft can be charged if the property is worth at least
$100-$300. Third-degree grand theft can be charged if the property is worth
$300-$20,000. Second-degree grand theft can be charged if the property is worth
$10,000-$20,000. First-degree grand theft can be charged if the property is
worth more than $100,000. The potential sentence for first-degree grand theft is
30 years’ imprisonment and a $10,000 fine.

White Collar Crimes

White collar crimes do not require the use of guns or violence. Often, they are
motivated by greed and occur in business, financial, or government workplaces.
These crimes can include identity theft, industrial espionage, Internet crimes,
stealing IP, embezzlement, forgery, bribery, or fraud. What a prosecutor must
prove depends on the particular charge. Sometimes it can take years for a white
collar crime to be uncovered, and in many cases, a suspect faces a potentially
long prison sentence. It is important to retain an experienced criminal defense
lawyer in Bradenton who has access to forensic accountants and other
professionals who can help refute the charges.

Injunctions

Sometimes, a victim of domestic abuse may ask the court for an injunction.
Anyone with a reasonable belief that they are in immediate danger of becoming a
victim of an act of domestic violence can ask for an injunction against a person
who is abusing them or about to abuse them. This is a civil process, but like a
criminal charge, it may have substantial consequences for an alleged
perpetrator’s life. For example, it can have a serious impact on child custody.
When a judge decides that there is an immediate, present danger of domestic
violence, a temporary ex parte injunction may be ordered without the judge
hearing your side of what happened. However, you will be given notice of a full
hearing, at which time you will have an opportunity to oppose the order. It is
important to retain a criminal attorney to represent you at the full hearing.

Child Abuse

Under the Florida statutes, there are three offenses against children: child
abuse, aggravated child abuse, and child neglect. Child abuse involves a
threatened or willful act resulting in a sexual injury, mental harm, or physical
harm causing or likely to cause physical, mental, or emotional impairment.
Sometimes child abuse allegations are improperly motivated by a custody battle,
a vindictive parent, or someone exaggerating reasonable discipline of a child.
These charges are serious and may involve jail time and fines, as well as the
loss of a family relationship. It is important to retain an experienced criminal
defense lawyer in Bradenton to defend you against these charges.

College Campus Crimes

College kids often lack the good judgment that develops as a result of
experience and maturity. College campus crimes can include sexual assault, rape,
underage drinking and DUI, drug crimes, aggravated assault, robbery, or motor
vehicle theft. Sometimes a promising student is arrested and faced with the
possibility of jail time or the requirement that they register for the rest of
their life as a sex offender. It is critical for people accused of college
campus crimes to retain an experienced criminal defense attorney, both for any
administrative proceedings that may be held on campus and for criminal charges.

Discuss Your Case With a Criminal Defense Attorney in the Bradenton Area

If you are being investigated for a crime, there may be serious potential
consequences, including prison time, probation, fines, and the stigma of a
criminal record that can hinder your ability to gain or keep custody of your
child, get a professional license, secure housing, or obtain higher education.
Representation by a skillful trial attorney matters to the outcome. Our founder,
Will Hanlon, has aggressively and knowledgeably represented the accused since
1994. You can call Hanlon Law at 941.253.0254 or complete our online form.

Client Reviews
★★★★★
As a practicing attorney, I was shocked to hear that a family member of mine was
alleged to have committed a sex crime. Knowing full well the consequences this
type of allegation can have on anyone and their future, I immediately reached
out to William Hanlon for help. I had every confidence that Mr. Hanlon had the
knowledge, expertise, and experience to handle this problem. Approximately 4
weeks from an initial conference with Mr. Hanlon, we received a call with the
news that a letter of release was being issued and the case was being dropped.
Now my family member can finally exhale, take a deep breath, and go on with his
life. Thank you, William! Jerry
★★★★★
Was on the ball. Remembered names, events, places, situations. Never need to re
explain the situation. Keeps in touch through out the entire experience and
keeps you feeling safe, comforted and protected. Fights hard. Worth every single
penny. Would never settle for anything less than Will. Carrie
★★★★★
I was facing a charge that if convicted would carry two years in prison
minimally. Not only was he empathetic and listening to what I had to say but he
arranged with the prosecutor for my charges not to be filed under terms of a pre
trial investigation. Would highly recommend. Alec
★★★★★
I am very happy for what he did for me. Always there when I needed him.
Explained everything well. He Fights for his clients. He got me what I needed.
Hes an excellent lawyer. Mutaz
★★★★★
Mr. Hanlon did what no other lawyer could do. Not only did he turn my criminal
history into a thing of the past so I could move on, he was a loyal associate.
No matter how bad the situation is, he has miraculously cleared me on every
charge since he became my lawyer 5 years ago. I have the best lawyer that the
legal system has to offer. I have had other really good lawyers try to get my
business, but I know that no one can do a better job than William Hanlon. Jesse
