When you are facing criminal charges, you may feel isolated and hopeless, as the criminal justice system can be very intimidating. With a tenacious defense attorney from Woolf & Ross Law Firm, LLC on your side, however, you can be sure that your civil rights are fully protected. Our team handles a wide range of criminal defense matters, including:

• Driving Under the Influence (DUI) and Other Traffic Offenses: A DUI charge can result in multiple types of penalties, including the loss of a person's license, thousands of dollars in fines, and even the requirement to serve time in jail. We represent clients accused of first-time and repeat DUI offenses, underage DUI, driving while license suspended due to DUI, and vehicular manslaughter or reckless driving involving alcohol or drugs. Our attorneys will carefully examine the evidence, including field sobriety tests, breathalyzer results, and police procedures, to identify possible defense strategies.
• Drug Offenses: Charges related to controlled substances in Connecticut can range from minor possession to serious trafficking offenses. Our firm defends clients facing charges such as possession of controlled substances, possession with intent to distribute, drug manufacturing or cultivation, drug trafficking and distribution, and prescription drug fraud and doctor shopping. Many drug cases involve illegal searches and seizures, and our attorneys will work to challenge any constitutional violations that may have occurred during your arrest.
• Robbery and Burglary: Theft-related crimes that involve the use of force or unlawful entry into a property can lead to serious felony charges. We represent people who have been charged with armed or unarmed robbery, carjacking, home invasion, breaking and entering, or commercial burglary. Our legal team carefully examines surveillance footage, eyewitness testimony, and forensic evidence to challenge the prosecution's claims.
• Theft Crimes: Property crimes can range from minor shoplifting offenses to large-scale fraud. We defend clients accused of, petty theft and shoplifting, grand larceny and embezzlement, identity theft and credit card fraud, auto theft, or receiving stolen property. Depending on the circumstances, we may be able to negotiate a reduction in charges, explore diversion programs, or seek alternative sentencing options.
• Assault, Sexual Assault, Kidnapping, and Murder: Violent crimes carry some of the harshest penalties under Connecticut law, including lengthy prison sentences and life without parole in some cases. We provide defense for charges such as assault and battery, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, sexual assault and rape, kidnapping and unlawful restraint, homicide, manslaughter, and murder. Our attorneys investigate every aspect of these cases, from self-defense claims to false accusations, and work tirelessly to present a strong defense.
• Crimes Against Children: Crimes involving minors are prosecuted aggressively, and convictions carry serious consequences. We represent clients facing charges such as Child abuse or neglect, child pornography offenses, endangering the welfare of a minor, or unlawful contact with a minor. Because of the sensitive nature of these cases, we work discreetly and strategically to challenge the prosecution's evidence and protect our clients' rights.
• Domestic Violence: Allegations of domestic violence can result in protective orders, loss of child custody, and criminal penalties. We defend clients accused of spousal abuse, harassment and stalking, or violation of a restraining order. We recognize that false accusations can arise in domestic situations, and we work to expose inconsistencies in the prosecution's case.
• White Collar and Internet Crimes: White collar criminal cases often involve complex investigations and severe financial penalties. We handle cases related to fraud, money laundering, cybercrime, credit card fraud, forgery, and counterfeiting. Our attorneys understand financial crimes and digital evidence, allowing us to craft strong defenses against these charges.
• Weapons Charges: Connecticut has strict firearm laws, and weapons-related offenses can lead to felony convictions. We represent people facing accusations of illegal possession of a firearm, carrying a firearm without a permit, possession of a weapon by a convicted felon, or using a weapon in the commission of a crime. Our defense strategies may include challenging unlawful searches, questioning probable cause, and negotiating reduced penalties.

Our attorneys can also help you with concerns related to probation or parole violations, post-verdict motions, and appeals. With our investigative skills and a vast network of industry-leading experts, including polygraph and handwriting experts, former law enforcement officers, and forensic professionals, we are equipped to help you build an aggressive, responsible defense against whatever charges you may be facing.
