Fort Lauderdale Criminal Defense Attorney
Ed Hanna
Criminal Defense
If you are arrested or accused of a crime, your liberty, your economic future and financial well-being, even your life may depend on the selection of legal representation. This may be the most important and far-reaching decision of your life. You already know that you want the most experienced attorney you can find. Having been a prosecutor, both federal and state, and with many years of criminal defense also behind him, Hanna has also had the unique opportunity to have served as a consultant to both State and Federal Law Enforcement Agencies. However, your needs don't end there:
- You want an attorney who will be accessible - an attorney who will return your phone calls.
- You want an attorney who will explain the criminal justice system and its complicated workings to you as you go though the process; an attorney who will guide you, step-by-step, and be there, at your side through that process.
- Most importantly, you want an attorney who recognizes that you are the single most important element of the criminal justice system at that time and you're "not just along for the ride".
The public service record of Mr. Hanna, as a career State and Federal Prosecutor, is as exemplary as it is interesting to read. A brief overview may be found in the "Profile and Credentials" section of this Web-Site, including his years as an Assistant District Attorney with the District Attorney's Office in the Philadelphia area, where he coordinated the DA's Major Crimes Tactical Unit (MCTU); his years as a Special Federal Prosecutor serving three Presidential Administrations, (Ford, Carter, Regan), with the Internal Security Section of the Department of Justice in Washington, D.C., attached to the CIA at Langley, and later with the Criminal Division "Special Ops" Unit of the Organized Crime and Racketeering Section of the Department both in Washington, D.C., and later in full-time litigation while assigned to the Miami Strike Force and U.S. Attorney's Office in the Southern District of Florida.
During these years, Mr. Hanna developed invaluable long term relationships with the various Federal investigative and intelligence agencies, as well as State and County Law Enforcement - and gained insight into the complex mission goals of these agencies, which are often changing, that can have such a monumental impact on th lives of private clients - citizens - involved in criminal or civil matters.
All of Mr. Hanna's professional experience and energy is dedicated to the solution of client issues and challenges.
CIVIL REMEDIES for CRIMINAL CONDUCT
Crimes & Contracts
The line between outright "criminal" fraud and clever, but legal manipulation constituting "civil" fraud is often indistinguishable to the non-lawyer. In fact, many "civil" lawyers, who lack a criminal-practice background, may not readily recognize a clever "civil" fraud or civil theft.
Frequently, criminal statutes are violated and the victims of these crimes have been financially damaged, or even wiped out. Persons who never had a legal problem in their lives, as well as small businesses and multi-national, billion-dollar corporations suddenly find themselves in desperate straights as victims of a complex scheme to defraud.
The inescapable stories persist: Enron, Madoff, Rothstein. It happens every day, doesn't it?
