Criminal Defense Counsel in New Britain

A single criminal conviction could follow you for the rest of your life. In addition to fines, prison time, and other possible penalties, a conviction, in most cases, will remain on your permanent record. As a result, you could face difficulties obtaining employment, finding affordable housing, or even enrolling in certain educational programs. Depending on the nature of the alleged offense, just being charged could destroy your personal and professional reputation.

At Woolf & Ross Law Firm, LLC, we understand what is at stake when you are facing criminal charges. Our attorneys are committed to building strong defense strategies aimed at protecting your rights and limiting the consequences of your case. We provide representation for a broad range of criminal offenses, including:

Drunk Driving and Motor Vehicle Offenses

Connecticut enforces strict laws against driving under the influence (DUI) and other motor vehicle offenses. A DUI conviction can result in license suspension, substantial fines, and potential jail time. We assist clients in cases involving:

• First-time and repeat DUI charges
• Underage DUI
• Refusal to submit to breath or blood tests
• Vehicular manslaughter involving alcohol or drugs
• Driving with a suspended or revoked license

Our attorneys analyze police reports, breathalyzer accuracy, and field sobriety test procedures to identify potential weaknesses in the prosecution's case.

Drug Crimes

Drug-related offenses may range from minor possession charges to serious trafficking allegations. Connecticut's drug laws impose harsh penalties for drug-related offenses, and we defend clients accused of:

• Possession of controlled substances such as heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine, and prescription drugs
• Possession with intent to distribute
• Drug manufacturing or trafficking
• Prescription drug fraud
• Drug paraphernalia possession

We work to suppress unlawfully obtained evidence, challenge unconstitutional searches, and negotiate alternative sentencing options when appropriate.

Burglary and Robbery

Crimes involving theft by force and unlawful entry carry severe penalties, especially if they involve weapons or the use of force. Our firm defends clients against robbery and burglary charges, including:

• Armed and unarmed robbery
• Home invasion
• Commercial burglary
• Breaking and entering

We closely examine the circumstances of each case, including surveillance footage and witness testimony, to develop a compelling defense.

Theft Crimes

Theft offenses vary widely in severity, from misdemeanor shoplifting to felony grand larceny. We provide legal defense for charges such as:

• Shoplifting and retail theft
• Grand theft and embezzlement
• Identity theft
• Credit card fraud
• Auto theft

In some cases, we may be able to negotiate plea agreements, pursue diversion programs, or seek case dismissals based on lack of evidence.

Violent Crimes

Violent crime allegations can result in long prison sentences and other life-altering consequences. We aggressively defend clients charged with:

• Assault and battery
• Aggravated assault with a deadly weapon
• Homicide, manslaughter, and murder
• Kidnapping

We investigate self-defense claims, inconsistencies in witness statements, and forensic evidence to challenge the prosecution's case.

Domestic Violence

Allegations of domestic violence can lead to criminal charges, protective orders, and loss of child custody rights. We defend clients accused of:

• Spousal or partner abuse
• Harassment and stalking
• Violation of protective orders
• Child endangerment

False allegations of domestic violence can arise in contentious family disputes, and we work to expose any inconsistencies in the prosecution's case.

White Collar and Computer Crimes

White collar offenses and cybercrimes often involve complex financial transactions and digital evidence. We represent individuals facing charges such as:

• Fraud, including insurance, mortgage, and tax fraud
• Embezzlement
• Money laundering
• Identity theft and internet scams
• Cybercrimes, including hacking and unauthorized data access

Our team understands financial regulations and digital forensics, allowing us to build effective defenses in white-collar crime cases.

Crimes Against Children

Allegations involving crimes against children are treated with the utmost seriousness under Connecticut law. A conviction can lead to lengthy prison sentences and mandatory sex offender registration. We provide defense for cases involving:

• Child abuse and neglect
• Child pornography charges
• Online solicitation of a minor
• Endangering the welfare of a child

These cases require a strong, strategic defense, and our attorneys work diligently to ensure that our clients receive fair treatment in the legal system.
