    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 – 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!

    Achieved the best possible outcome
    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.

    He Is the Attorney You Need in Your Corner
    I couldn't recommend Attorney Paun enough. I was hit with two charges in Connecticut, and both of them are now no longer on my record. Attorney Paun assured me that I had no reason to be anxious for any reason about my cases, and he backed up what he said! He is an attorney that truly cares about your needs and doesn't just want to take your money without promising results. He is the attorney you need in your corner!

    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 🙌 🙏
    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.

    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.

    He Definitely Lifted the Weight Off My Shoulders
    Atty. Jerome was very, very knowledgeable, kind, and easy to deal with. He explained matters to me in a way I could understand. He doesn't beat around the bush, and when I talked to him it felt as if I was talking to a friend!! Can't forget his assistant either, who was very attentive as well as communicative and very efficient at relaying my concerns. He definitely lifted the weight off my shoulders. Highly recommend Jerome and his team!!!!
