I Highly Recommend This Lawyer
We had a case from 10+ years ago that was not resolved correctly come back and cause us issues in our new state! I can't say enough good things about Jerome Paun and his amazing assistant. From our first consultation to the resolution of my case, they were fantastic. What stood out most was how easy they were to work with â no confusing jargon, just straightforward and honest communication. They always kept me in the loop and responded quickly to my questions, and this was with us being over 600+ miles away! Beyond that, their professionalism was evident in every interaction. I felt confident knowing I was in such capable hands. I highly recommend this lawyer to anyone seeking legal assistance in CT!

In 2019, my son was stopped and charged with driving under the influence. We were fortunate to find Mr. Jerome Paun, who diligently defended him. With his many years of experience and strong relationships with the courts and authorities, Mr. Paun guided us through the process with professionalism and care. Every question was answered, and we always knew what to expect. Thanks to his support, my son not only achieved the best possible outcome but also made lasting, positive changes in his life. We are truly grateful.

Jerome, a true hero and professional
Jerome has been my lifeline ever since I was a juvenile almost. He's been not only a mentor with legal matters, but a role model and an extremely strong example of how to make sure I never made the same mistakes again. Times throughout my youth were extremely difficult, and if it were not for this man and his extraordinary way of calming my fears and putting my mind at ease, I can't say that I'd still be here to say that I'm a better person for having known him. Jerome, you'll never know the impact you've had in my life and the life of my family. You're a true hero and professional and I can't thank you enough for your patience and dedication. God bless đ đ
Melanie Valencia
Jerome is the absolute best
Jerome is the absolute best. His paralegal Joy is amazing too. He helped me navigate through the process of a full pardon, guiding me with my references and all my application questions to make sure I got the best results. Thanks to their help, I was granted a full pardon. He also represented me 9 years ago for the charge I ended up getting pardoned, and he got me a fantastic deal which shaved countless months off my sentence. I wouldn't use any other attorney.
Katie Riley
Absolutely the Best, Most Aggressive and Knowledgeable Attorney Ever!
Absolutely the best, most aggressive and knowledgeable attorney ever! He's a professional who is passionate about defending your rights and he's been an absolute outstanding and reassuring advocate for myself, my daughter, as well as friends' and associates' rights.
He saved my life as a kid and has been a great mentor for me in my later years of adolescence.
Those days are behind me, and I've graduated college and continue to turn to him whenever needed on this journey that is not always easy.
He's a humble and decent man whose compassion and diligence has saved my life and turned it around for the better.
I can never repay him for his part in my success, nor can I ever thank him enough.
Thank you and God bless you, Jerome. I don't know where I'd be if not for you.

What happens during a criminal trial?
During a criminal trial, both the prosecution and the defense present evidence and arguments. It involves jury selection, opening statements, witness testimonies, cross-examinations, closing arguments, and jury deliberation. The verdict is delivered based on the evidence presented. Our team will guide you through every step of the process.
What is criminal defense?
Criminal defense is the legal representation provided to individuals or entities charged with criminal conduct. It involves protecting the rights of the accused, negotiating plea deals, and providing guidance through the legal system. Our goal is to ensure the best possible outcome for the client.
What is a plea bargain?
A plea bargain is an agreement between you and the prosecutor where you plead guilty to a lesser charge in exchange for a reduced sentence or dropping other charges. It can be a strategic decision to avoid trial, but it's important to discuss the implications with your attorney before agreeing.
