Criminal Defense

If you are under arrest or investigation, do not resist arrest!
Give your name, address and provide identification if you are asked - be respectful and polite.

Our firm defends the rights and freedom of people accused of all types of crimes in Connecticut. Whether it involves charges of assault, robbery, theft, DUI, drugs, domestic violence, sex crimes or any other felony or misdemeanor, we will work hard to achieve the best result for you.

Stay calm! Remember that you have rights - use them!
Politely tell the police you do not want to talk to them without your lawyer.    

Whenever possible, we seek outcomes that help you avoid criminal conviction and jail. For example, you may qualify for more lenient treatment by the court as a youthful offender or you may be eligible for a pretrial diversionary program that could be used to divert your case out of the criminal justice system and save you from a criminal conviction. Such programs include: Accelerated Rehabilitation (AR), Alcohol Education Program (AEP), Drug Education Program (DEP), Community Service Labor Program (CSLP), Family Violence Education Program (FVEP), School Violence Prevention Program (SVPP), and others. We will work hard to obtain the best result for you. For more details about pretrial diversionary programs you may be eligible for please click on Alternatives to Jail / Divisionary Programs.

If a criminal trial is necessary, we will vigorously defend you. We will carefully examine, analyze and discuss with you the evidence against you and in your favor. We will explain to you in plain English what the prosecution must prove to convict you of the crimes charged and we will explore potential defenses and legal defense strategies we may employ to defeat the prosecution's case. We will do all we can to defend you and protect your freedom. Your future is important to us.

• Do not talk to the police!
• Do not talk to anyone about your arrest or case except your lawyer!
• Do not sign or give any statements!

No matter what they might tell you, THE POLICE ARE NOT TRYING TO HELP YOU when you are under arrest or investigation.
