Alabama criminal defense attorney Michael P. Hanle works to provide a vigorous defense for persons accused of any type of theft. His clients often come from Birmingham and nearby communities including Hoover, Mountain Brook, Homewood, Montgomery, and Ashville, and in the Alabama counties of Shelby, Jefferson, Tuscaloosa, and Montgomery.

As a zealous criminal defense lawyer , Mr. Hanle focuses first on making the prosecution prove their theft charge. He finds that theft cases often hinge on the ability of prosecutors to prove the identity of a suspect. Considering that those who steal often try to hide their identity with masks and other concealing devices, this can be a challenge. Mr. Hanle makes sure the prosecutors take nothing for granted when it comes to identifying his clients as theft suspects.

In one memorable case, a young man was accused of bank robbery. He insisted that he was innocent although the robber on the video surveillance camera did bear a strong resemblance to him. Throughout his entire 45-day stay in jail, his criminal defense attorney, Michael P. Hanle respected his position and stood by him, protecting his rights to due process. After 45 days, another bank robber who was arrested elsewhere admitted to being guilty of the first robbery. After this man was positively identified as the offender, charges against Mr. Hanle's client were dropped and he was released from jail.
