Hired Attorney

There aren’t enough words to describe how thankful and grateful I am for finding and having attorney William Hanlon represented me on a child sexual abuse allegations case. He's truly the best criminal defense lawyer period in the US. I'm very hard to impress, but his skills, experience, knowledge of the law and calm demeanor are priceless. During difficult and fearful period that I was going through, Hanlon stayed calm and confident. He saved my life.
