Dustin Wagner - Hanlon Law

Dustin Wagner is a seasoned criminal defense attorney and proud Manatee County native. A

graduate of the University of Florida and Nova Southeastern University, Dustin began his

career fighting for the accused as an Assistant Public Defender in both Broward and

Hillsborough Counties. As former President of the Manatee County Bar Association and

member of the Sarasota County Bar Association, he is recognized as a respected leader and

relentless advocate within the regional legal community.


Throughout his career, Dustin has successfully defended clients charged with the most

serious offenses, earning Not Guilty verdicts in cases ranging from Murder and Sex Crimes

to False Impersonation of Law Enforcement, Battery on Law Enforcement, Fraud, DUI,

and Domestic Violence Battery. Known for his fearless trial presence, strategic approach,

and deep commitment to justice, Dustin brings unmatched local knowledge and dedication

to every case he takes. He proudly serves Sarasota and Manatee Counties with the same

tenacity and integrity that have defined his legal career from day one.


In today’s digital world, the rise of social media, messaging apps, and rapid communication

has led to a dramatic increase in sex crime allegations, exploitation, cyberstalking, online

solicitation, identity theft, and unauthorized computer access —many of which arise from

misunderstandings, false accusations, or overreaching enforcement. These charges carry

intense stigma, life-altering consequences, and severe penalties, making it imperative to have

a skilled, aggressive attorney in your corner. Dustin understands the sensitive and complex

nature of these cases and has a proven track record of protecting his clients' rights and

reputations when it matters most.
