Assault, Attempted Murder, Arson, Escape
Victims of violent crimes and their outraged communities want to be sure justice is done when a serious crime has occurred. When someone is arrested and identified as having committed a violent crime, public sentiment can be strong in favor of delivering harsh penalties. In the rush to prosecute, the constitutional rights of the accused may be swept away by the rush to judgement.
Preserving these rights is precisely the job of experienced, dedicated and passionate criminal defense lawyer Michael P. Hanle. He represents persons accused of violent crimes in Birmingham, Huntsville, Columbiana, Decatur, Montgomery, Ashville, and Talladega and in the Alabama counties of Shelby, Jefferson, St. Clair, Talladega, Tuscaloosa, Cullman, Madison, and Montgomery.
Aggressive Criminal Defense for Violent Crimes
The Law Office of Michael P. Hanle defends the rights of persons charged with violent crimes including assault, manslaughter, attempted murder, murder, arson, and kidnapping. Escape from jail or prison is also considered a "violent crime" (because of the high risk it carries of resulting in additional violent crimes upon escape). In addition, he defends persons accused of shooting into a dwelling or vehicle.
In particular, Mr. Hanle works to get charges dismissed where there is insufficient evidence to indict or convict a client. He often gets charges reduced: for example, from murder to negligent homicide, with shorter sentences. Despite the fact that trying cases involving violent crime can be an exhausting and difficult experience, Mr. Hanle is prepared to enter into long, arduous jury trials as may be necessary for the sake of fair treatment for his clients. In past trials, he has demonstrated to juries that arresting officers were untruthful. His vigorous representation often results in probation, offering the client the opportunity to return to a normal life.
