We Vigorously Represent Our Clients Helping Them Get the Representation and Compensation They Deserve
Practice Areas
Criminal Defense
When a person is investigated by and/or subsequently arrested by the State, whether it be the police or some other government agency, the State is required to conduct the investigation and/or arrest within the confines of the restrictions placed upon it by the Constitution of both the United States of America and the State of Connecticut. When the State acts outside those bounds any evidence unconstitutionally obtained is generally not able to be used against a defendant in prosecuting the case. As one of the premier criminal defense law firms in the State of Connecticut our job is not only to evaluate whether or not the State can prove a case against a defendant. It is also to evaluate and ensure that the evidence they seek to use in proving a case is acquired legally. If it is not it is our duty to fight to get the illegally obtained evidence suppressed and the case ultimately dismissed. If you have a court date, call our firm immediately to make sure you have a knowledgeable and zealous advocate in your corner.
