After being charged with two violent felony charges, as a result of an unhinged overzealous officer of the law. I was blessed with coming across Hanlon law. With the most integrity and professional representation I've ever seen in my life, Attorney Blair Jackson's compassion, understanding, knowledge of the law, and outright determination to find the most favorable result possible for his client's. I can confidently say today that all criminal charges have been officially dropped.
With the outstanding representation of Attorney Blair Jackson you can be confident when fighting to defend you're innocence. Whither it be a constitutional rights violations or misconduct from law enforcement. Blair Jackson is here to seek justice. I thank you from the bottom of my heart, as does my family. Evan. R

Thank you so much for your review Evan. Blair Jackson is hard-working, intelligent, and very aggressive. No one knows our criminal justice system better than Blair. If you need anything else in the future, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us. William Hanlon.
After getting an initial quote from Nick Chotos he tried to add a substantial amount when it came time to sign a contract. Later we paid $3000 for an exam that was never completed and $2000 for an evidentiary hearing that didn't take place at all. He indicated that he would perform some duties gratis for which later he wanted to be compensated. Most importantly, don't question Chotos unless you enjoy being severely chastised, spoken to in a most unprofessional manner, and rebuked for any efforts you make to help with "his" case! Efforts to address these problems through emails and texts were mostly ignored both from Chotos and from the head of the firm.

We take all feedback seriously and regret when anyone feels dissatisfied. That said, this review contains several inaccuracies that require clarification.<br><br>First, the individual posting this review was not our client, but a third party. Ethical rules limit what we can disclose publicly, but it’s important to note that our actual client was fully informed at every stage of the representation and expressed satisfaction with the outcome.<br><br>Second, no services were billed that were not performed, and no evidentiary hearing was ever scheduled or required. In fact, significant work was done that resulted in a dismissal of the alleged violations, avoiding further incarceration. Those efforts went well beyond what is typically required in similar cases.<br><br>Third, there was no agreement for “free” legal services, and any financial concerns raised after the fact were addressed in good faith by the firm.<br><br>Finally, we categorically reject the suggestion that any client or family member was treated unprofessionally. Our attorneys advocate firmly for their clients, and that advocacy is sometimes mistaken for tone when emotions are understandably high.<br><br>We remain proud of the work performed in this case and stand by both the professionalism and effectiveness of our legal team. Anyone with concerns is always encouraged to contact our office directly so they can be addressed appropriately. <br><br>Will Hanlon
Blair Jackson did an incredible job with my case. He was very understanding and helpful. I had four pending charges all which were dropped due to his excellent skills. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of a great attorney.
Owner response
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience, and for the incredible 5-star review. This is exactly the kind of result we strive for: securing the complete dismissal of four pending charges is a testament to the aggressive, skilled criminal defense that Blair Jackson provides.<br><br>It is gratifying to hear that Blair was not only highly effective but also understanding and helpful throughout what we know was a stressful time. Successfully navigating complex cases like yours, particularly here in Clearwater and Pinellas County, is our primary mission.<br><br>We are extremely proud to have Blair on our team and appreciate your high recommendation. We wish you the very best as you move forward!<br><br>Will
I give Nick Chotos and Will Hanlon my highest recommendation.

Thank you so much for your review Rebecca!! Please let us know if you need anything else in the future.
When I hired nick back in 2020 he did absolutely nothing for me but claim to write a detailed letter. Suurre. Waste of money could of done it myself and still have the same outcome. Would not hire again, also I think some of the reviews on here might be fake, giving themselves high praises when they can’t even communicate what is going on with your case and the unpreparedness of Nick Chotos.
Would not hire this guy again.

Thank you so much for your feedback. Nick Chotos and our entire team are dedicated to fighting tirelessly for our clients. We appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review!
I want to start by saying that I fully support law enforcement and personal accountability. However, my youngest son made a foolish decision early this year, and a particularly
overzealous police officer not only arrested him but charged him with extreme offenses that were completely inappropriate for the situation. I’m convinced that if it had been the officer’s own son or a family friend, he would have handled it differently—perhaps with a stern warning or, at the very most, a misdemeanor charge.
With little time to find the right attorney, we came across Michael Haworth and Hanlon Law online. I can’t thank Michael and Mr. Hanlon enough for their professionalism, dedication, and understanding throughout this ordeal. They not only achieved the best possible outcome for my son but also took the time to listen to my fears, ensuring I always felt heard and supported.
I was terrified that my son would get trapped in the system, and I couldn’t eat or sleep. But Michael Haworth, with support from Mr. Hanlon, patiently addressed my concerns, presenting realistic options without making unattainable promises. They were committed to resolving this issue, and they did exactly that.
I still believe in “law and order,” but this experience opened my eyes to how one bad apple can tarnish people’s view of law enforcement. This officer seemed determined to ruin my 14-year-old son’s life by pushing for a potential prison sentence when he could have chosen a less severe path to teach him a lesson. He also called multiple times once he had nothing to do with it asking questions that the only motive could be to cause some sort of harm on my child, who is doing great now btw.
Without Michael Haworth and Mr. Hanlon, my son might have faced a much harsher outcome. They approached the case with creativity and genuine care, always communicating clearly and making me feel confident in their representation. They are truly experts in juvenile law, and their experience and knowledge made all the difference.
Over the years, I’ve worked with many attorneys—both corporate and criminal—through my business and for legal matters involving friends, employees, and family. Most attorneys don’t communicate well or fight as hard as they would for their own family. But Michael Haworth and Mr. Hanlon are different. They provided multiple strategies and thought outside the box to make this situation go away. Very few attorneys have such extensive experience and understanding of the legal system for minors in Florida.
One bad cop could have ruined my son’s future, but Michael Haworth and Mr. Hanlon cared enough to craft a thoughtful, personalized approach that worked. They got the job done, plain and simple.
If anyone finds themselves, or a loved one—especially a minor—facing legal trouble, I wholeheartedly endorse Michael Haworth and Mr. Hanlon.

Thank you so much for your review Robert. I’m so glad we were able to help! Mike Haworth is a great lawyer and we’re ver happy to have him! Will Hanlon
I owe Nick Chotos and all of the staff at Hanlon Law a debt of gratitude that can never be repaid. While facing serious time as well as predatory prosecution, Mr. Chotos kept everything at bay and fought tirelessly. My case took just over three years and never once did I feel he was running out of patience nor did he ever waiver from his stance in securing my future and my family's stress. On behalf of myself and my family we will never forget what you accomplished! Thank you again Nick.
