About W. Scott Hanken, Attorney At Law

I am attorney W. Scott Hanken. I have added a special wrinkle to my criminal law practice during 30-plus years of service – lessons learned during my background as a prosecutor that have marked my law firm’s effective defense representation ever since. Before establishing my own law office in Springfield, I worked as a Sangamon County prosecutor and assistant state’s attorney. My insight into how the prosecution works is incredibly valuable in defending clients. I know how government lawyers think. I can anticipate a prosecutor’s strategies and counter with well-timed tactics of my own.

Amazing person, considerate, gets the job done, and is very kind. Not only did Scott provide me with an outcome I wanted, but he was so personally kind to me and helped me feel secure and less stressed. I couldn't be happier with my choice to seek help from an experienced and well trained professional.

Scott and his team has been absolutely amazing, I haven’t ever had to deal with the court system but he has helped me out tremendously this last year and to say I wouldn’t be able to get through this without him is an absolute understatement. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone in need, if you have a problem go to him! He will get you through it.

Scott is a phenomenal attorney. If you find yourself looking for the best criminal defense in Central Illinois, you have without a doubt found your guy. Scott knows the law inside and out and will shoot you straight in every aspect along the way. He is quick to resolve your case and will keep you informed as needed. I am from out of town and was referred to Scott by numerous people. The outcome of my case was incredible. I was fighting a lengthy sentence for drug charges and Scott was able to negotiate a plea for a first offender program. 2 years probation with no time served, minimal community service, and no travel restrictions. If you are looking for somebody to handle your future, look no further this is your guy!! You will not be disappointed!
