Criminal Defense Attorneys in Waterbury, CT

When you have been arrested on criminal charges, you have constitutional rights that must be protected. Law enforcement officers and prosecutors must follow strict procedures when investigating and prosecuting a crime. Our experienced criminal defense attorneys will take the time to evaluate all of the evidence against you to reveal possible errors in procedures and ways in which your rights may have been compromised. With our investigative abilities, we will work to build a defense against federal and state charges related to:

• Drug Crimes: Connecticut enforces harsh penalties for drug-related offenses, which can include heavy fines, mandatory rehabilitation programs, probation, and incarceration. We provide defense representation for cases involving substances such as heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine, and fentanyl. We can address charges of possession, possession with intent to distribute, drug trafficking, and more.
• Theft and Larceny: Crimes related to property can vary in severity, from minor shoplifting charges to major embezzlement and fraud cases. A conviction can result in fines, probation, or even jail time. We represent clients facing charges such as petty theft, grand larceny, auto theft, credit card fraud, and receiving or possessing stolen property.
• Burglary, Robbery, and Weapons Charges: Burglary and robbery are serious felony offenses that carry significant penalties, including mandatory prison sentences. Weapons-related offenses can further enhance the severity of a charge. Our firm defends clients accused of armed robbery, home invasion, carrying a firearm without a permit, unlawful discharge of a weapon, or using a firearm during the commission of a crime.
• Violent Crimes and Kidnapping: Crimes involving violence or injuries to victims often come with severe penalties, including lengthy prison sentences and permanent criminal records. We provide defense for charges such as aggravated assault, aggravated battery, homicide, kidnapping, and unlawful restraint.
• Domestic Violence: Allegations of abuse or violence against family members can have serious consequences, including restraining orders, loss of child custody, and criminal charges. We represent clients who have been accused of stalking, harassment, physical abuse of a partner, child endangerment, or protective order violations.
• Driving Under the Influence (DUI) and Traffic Offenses: A DUI conviction can have long-term consequences, including a suspended driver's license, increased insurance rates, and possible jail time. We defend against DUI-related charges, helping to minimize the penalties that our clients may face. We can also address traffic violations, such as speeding, tailgating, or reckless driving.
• White Collar and Internet Crimes: Financial crimes or cyber-related offenses can result in significant fines and prison time. We provide defense representation for cases involving computer fraud, wire fraud, hacking, cyberstalking, identity theft, money laundering, and embezzlement.
• Probation and Parole Violations: If you are accused of violating the terms of your probation or parole, you could be arrested, and you may face additional penalties, which may include the extension of probation or parole or incarceration. Our lawyers can help address accusations of violations such as failed drug tests, failure to meet with a probation officer, curfew violations, or new criminal charges.
