When you are facing a criminal charge, you need an experienced and aggressive lawyer fighting for you. I have focused my 25 years of legal practice exclusively on criminal law. My name is W. Scott Hanken, Attorney at Law, and I will defend your rights and fight for your freedom. As a criminal defense attorney, I handle cases for clients charged with crimes ranging from assault to drug offenses to murder -- with an emphasis on drunk driving. When you hire me, you benefit from my unique knowledge of criminal law, drawn from experience as a former Sangamon County prosecutor and defense lawyer. I know the system from the inside out. Contact me now for a free consultation. Your chance at the most effective representation depends on how quickly you take control of the situation. Keep Your License And Your Livelihood By working as a Springfield DUI defense attorney, I have personal knowledge of the criminal DUI process and how to oppose it. Whether you are facing your first or fourth DUI charge, your driver's license is at risk of suspension even before a court determines your ultimate guilt or innocence. I know how to fight to keep your license from the beginning. The sooner you call my office, the sooner I can start working on your case. Suspension of your driving privileges affects your ability to work and earn money. You do not have the luxury of time if you need to keep driving. The process will not stop because you stand still. Scott handles legal matters for those facing allegations of committing a crime. His criminal defense services cover DUI, drug crimes, murder, s*x offenses and traffic offenses.
