Defense Against Criminal Charges in New London

Our experienced criminal defense lawyers are prepared to assist you in matters related to:

• Driving Under the Influence and Traffic Violations: Intoxicated driving is a serious offense in Connecticut that can result in license suspension, significant fines, and possible jail time. We defend clients against first-time DUI or repeat DUI charges, and we can also assist with DUI cases involving accidents and injuries and other types of traffic offenses, such as driving with a suspended or revoked license, reckless driving, excessive speeding, or hit-and-run accidents.
• Drug Crimes: Connecticut enforces strict drug laws, and a conviction can lead to substantial penalties, including incarceration. We represent clients facing charges related to drug possession or distribution, as well as drug manufacturing and drug trafficking. Our attorneys analyze whether law enforcement conducted illegal searches or seizures, and we explore possible defense strategies to challenge the prosecution's evidence.
• Violent Crimes: Offenses involving injuries or violence, carry some of the most severe penalties in the criminal justice system. If convicted, you could face lengthy prison sentences and a permanent criminal record. We provide defense representation for cases involving assault, aggravated assault, manslaughter, murder, or weapons-related offenses.
• Robbery and Burglary: These are serious felony offenses that can lead to long-term imprisonment. We defend clients accused of armed robbery, carjacking, or other felony property crimes. Our legal team carefully reviews surveillance footage, forensic evidence, and police reports to challenge the prosecution's claims.
• Larceny and Theft: Crimes involving the theft or destruction of property can range from misdemeanor shoplifting to felony grand larceny. We represent people charged with petty theft, grand theft, auto theft, or possession of stolen property. Depending on the circumstances of the case, we may be able to negotiate a plea agreement, explore diversion programs, or seek a dismissal.
• Crimes Against Children: Allegations that a person has caused harm to a child can lead to serious charges that are likely to be prosecuted aggressively. A conviction can result in severe penalties, including lifetime sex offender registration. We defend clients who have been accused of child abuse, sexual abuse, possession of child pornography, or child endangerment. Our attorneys handle these sensitive cases with discretion and work to ensure that clients receive fair treatment in the legal system.
• Computer and White Collar Crimes: Offenses involving financial fraud, deceit, or misuse of computers can lead to serious penalties. These cases often require a thorough understanding of financial and digital evidence. We defend clients against charges such as fraud, identity theft, embezzlement, hacking, and money laundering. We work with forensic accountants and digital investigators to challenge the prosecution's claims and identify weaknesses in the case against our clients.
• Probation and Parole Violations: People who are charged with violating the terms of probation or parole could face additional penalties, including being required to serve the remainder of a jail sentence. Common violations include failing drug tests, violating curfews, or committing new criminal offenses. We advocate for our clients to ensure that they receive fair hearings and explore alternatives to incarceration when possible.

Our knowledgeable team understands the importance of working with industry-leading experts, including former law enforcement officers, forensic accountants, forensic computer investigators, and other professionals to help build your case. No matter what the charges against you may be, we will be at your side fighting to protect your rights and working to minimize the impact on your future.
