Criminal Defense Lawyers in Tolland County

The criminal defense attorneys at Woolf & Ross Law Firm, LLC understand the importance of protecting your civil rights when you have been charged with a crime. Too often, procedural errors and rights violations go unchallenged, resulting in unfair convictions and harsh penalties. Our team will not let that happen to you. We will conduct a thorough review of your case, analyzing the evidence and investigating any potential mistakes, misconduct, or inconsistencies. Armed with this information, we will build a comprehensive defense strategy. We can help address both state and federal charges.

Our firm is prepared to defend clients against a wide range of criminal offenses, including:

Driving Under the Influence (DUI) and Traffic Offenses

Connecticut takes DUI charges very seriously. A conviction for drunk or drugged driving can lead to penalties such as steep fines, jail time, and driver's license suspension. Our attorneys defend clients against first-time and repeat DUI charges, as well as drug-related DUI, underage DUI, or vehicular manslaughter. We can also provide a defense against traffic violations such as driving with a suspended license or reckless driving.

Theft Crimes and Shoplifting

Theft charges can range from minor infractions to serious felony offenses. A conviction for theft can lead to fines, probation, restitution, or even incarceration, depending on the severity of the charge. We represent clients accused of shoplifting, grand larceny, auto theft, and receiving stolen property. In many cases, people may be wrongfully accused due to issues such as mistaken identity or circumstantial evidence. We work to challenge the prosecution's case and explore options for alternative sentencing or case dismissal when possible.

Drug Possession and Other Drug Crimes

Connecticut law imposes strict penalties for drug-related offenses, which can range from simple possession to drug distribution and trafficking. We defend clients against charges involving controlled substances such as heroin, cocaine, fentanyl, methamphetamine, and prescription opioids. Our legal team also handles cases related to drug manufacturing and possession of drug paraphernalia. Many drug cases involve unlawful searches and seizures, and we work to challenge any violations of our clients' Fourth Amendment rights.

Domestic Violence

Allegations of domestic violence can have serious consequences, including protective orders that may limit a person's ability to contact their family members or return to their home. These cases can affect child custody and other family relationships while damaging a person's reputation. We represent people who have been accused of spousal abuse, harassment, stalking, and other related offenses.

Domestic violence cases often arise in highly emotional situations, and false accusations can occur in the midst of contentious divorce or child custody disputes. Our attorneys work to uncover the facts of these cases, expose inconsistencies, and defend our clients against unfounded allegations.

Crimes Against Children

Crimes involving children are prosecuted aggressively, and because of the ways they can affect victims, they can carry severe penalties. We represent clients who have been charged with offenses such as risk of injury to a minor, possession or distribution of child pornography, and online solicitation of a minor. Because of the sensitive nature of these cases, it is crucial to have an experienced attorney who will thoroughly investigate the allegations and protect your rights. Our legal team works to ensure that clients receive fair treatment, and we challenge false accusations and work to protect against penalties such as sex offender registration.

Violent Crimes and Sex Crimes

Violent crimes carry some of the most serious penalties under Connecticut law, including life imprisonment in certain cases. Our firm provides defense for people who have been accused of assault, aggravated assault, manslaughter, and homicide. We also defend clients against sex crime allegations, including rape, sexual assault, and prostitution-related offenses. Our legal team can help determine whether self-defense claims may play a role in these cases, and we can review forensic evidence and witness statements to build a strong case on behalf of our clients.

Robbery and Burglary

Robbery and burglary charges involve allegations of unlawfully taking property through the use of force or entering a residence or business with the intent to commit a crime. These charges often carry felony-level penalties, particularly if weapons were allegedly involved. Our firm represents clients accused of armed robbery, breaking and entering, and other related offenses. In many cases, law enforcement errors, mistaken identity, or weak evidence can play a role in a case. We work diligently to identify flaws in the prosecution's arguments and advocate for reduced or dismissed charges.

Financial and Internet Crimes

White collar crimes and internet-based offenses often involve complex digital evidence related to financial transactions. Our firm provides defense for clients accused of fraud, embezzlement, identity theft, money laundering, and other computer crimes or financial crimes. Convictions for these offenses can result in substantial fines and long prison sentences, particularly if federal charges are involved. Our attorneys collaborate with forensic accountants and cybersecurity experts to uncover weaknesses in the prosecution's case and build a strong defense strategy.

Probation and Parole Violations

If you are accused of violating the terms of probation or parole, you may face severe consequences, including the possibility of additional jail time. Common violations include failing drug tests, missing required meetings with a probation officer, failing to participate in court-ordered programs, or being arrested for a new criminal offense. Our attorneys advocate for our clients in probation and parole hearings, working to prevent unnecessary penalties and keep them out of jail.
