Family Law:  ​Dissolution of Marriage in the state of Florida is often referred to as "no fault."  What this means is that if either party alleges that the marriage is irretrievably broken, the court is obligated to dissolve the marriage.  The issues that the court must consider include child support, time-sharing (sometimes referred to as visitation), alimony (also called spousal support), and distribution of marital property and debts (equitable distribution.)  The court is primarily concerned with the well-being of any minor and dependent children born of the marriage and will require strict adherence to the Florida Child Support Guidelines.  Equitable distribution of marital assets and liabilities can be unevenly divided if the court decides that to do would be the fair and equitable distribution.  



​​Criminal Defense: ​The state of Florida, as well as the United States Federal Government, has the authority to charge individuals with crimes and to pursue their conviction in criminal court.  When a person is charged with a crime, the State or the Federal Government usually has obtained enough information to levy the charges, thus there is no reason for the charged person to speak with law enforcement without the help of an attorney.  If you or someone you know has been charged with a crime, have them call me immediately.



​Appeals: ​When a person has litigated their issues before a court (trial), and has received an unfavorable result, that person has the right to file for an appeal.  Appellate rights are limited and must be handled by an attorney who has a strong background in the area being appealed.  Michael R. Hanrahan, Esq. has a strong and extensive background in Family Law and Criminal Defense.  If you or someone you know has a question about an appeal, or has lost a trial or received a bad result from a court, please call me immediately to discuss your appellate rights.  IF YOU DON'T FILE YOUR APPEAL ON TIME YOU MAY NEVER BE ALLOWED TO DO SO.  Call right now.



​​Post-Conviction:​ A person who has resolved their criminal matter either through a trial or plea, may have the right to file a motion for post-conviction relief or other post-conviction remedies.  There are strict time restrictions for how and when a post-conviction motion may be filed.  Please contact me immediately to discuss your rights.
