We’re Ready to Talk About Your Case

If you’re facing a criminal charge in Springfield or anywhere in Sangamon County, the sooner you talk to an attorney, the more options you have. W. Scott Hanken offers a free, confidential consultation to every prospective client — no pressure, no obligation, just a straightforward conversation about what you’re facing and what comes next.

📞 Call (217) 544-4057 or fill out the form below and our office will reach out to schedule your consultation.

While this website provides general information, it does not constitute legal advice. The best way to get guidance on your specific legal issue is to contact a lawyer directly.

What to Expect When You Contact Us

Reaching out is the first step — here’s what happens next.

1. You call or submit the form. Whichever is easier for you. If you call after hours, leave a message and we’ll follow up as soon as the office opens.
2. We schedule your free consultation. This is a real conversation with me about your situation, not a sales pitch — you’ll leave with a clearer picture of what you’re facing and what your options look like.
3. We talk through your case. Bring whatever you have — a citation, a police report, court paperwork, or just your memory of what happened. It’s normal not to have everything organized yet.
4. You decide how to move forward. There’s no obligation to hire the me after a consultation. The goal is to make sure you have the information you need to make a good decision.

A note on confidentiality: please don’t include sensitive details in a contact form, text message, or voicemail — these aren’t secure or encrypted. Submitting the form, calling, texting, or leaving a voicemail also doesn’t by itself create an attorney-client relationship; that happens only once representation is formally established.
