Criminal & DUI

In our criminal defense practice, we represent clients charged with misdemeanors and felonies in state and federal court. We have represented clients charged with nearly every possible crime.

If you believe you may be charged with a crime, or have been charged with a crime, you should consult with an attorney immediately. The consequences of a misdemeanor or felony conviction are extremely serious, and may include large fines and incarceration. Should you be charged with a crime, our criminal lawyers will be able to determine whether you are eligible for a pretrial diversion program, which may enable you to avoid having a criminal record.

As with all our cases, we defend people accused of crimes in both the federal and state courts of Connecticut. We have successfully represented clients on the full gamut of criminal matters, including:

If you are charged with drunk driving (DUI or DWI), visit our DUI Information Center.

We have also dealt with virtually all types of criminal and forensic evidence including eyewitness testimony, statements from others including victims, complaining witnesses and cooperating witnesses, statements and coerced confessions from the accused, fingerprints, blood alcohol and toxicology testing, hair, blood, semen, saliva and other bodily fluids, DNA testing, footprints, tire tracks, photographs, guns, bullets, knives, other weapons and other crime scene evidence, drugs, equipment and paraphernalia, videotape, audiotape, wiretaps, surveillance, internet email, disc drives, hard drives, digital images, handwriting and questioned documents, documentary evidence, and electronic evidence.

Always remember, when you are charged with a crime, you have the right to have your attorney present at ALL proceedings, and you DO NOT have to answer questions from the police or the prosecutor without your lawyer present.
