Criminal Defense
Our criminal defense practice protects clients facing charges in Waterbury and surrounding Connecticut counties. With over a decade of courtroom experience, we develop tailored defense strategies for DUI, drug crimes, and theft offenses. Our approach focuses on minimizing consequences through evidence analysis, witness interviews, and aggressive representation.
Drug Crimes
We defend clients against drug-related charges including possession, trafficking, and manufacturing allegations. Our firm explores all defense avenues, from challenging evidence admissibility to negotiating alternative sentencing programs like Connecticut's Drug Court. We emphasize rehabilitation opportunities while protecting clients' futures.
DUI
Our DUI defense service challenges breathalyzer accuracy, field sobriety test validity, and probable cause determinations. We represent clients facing first-time or repeat offenses, working to reduce penalties and maintain driving privileges through Connecticut's legal framework.
Personal Injury
We represent clients injured in auto accidents, slip-and-falls, and workplace incidents. Our service includes documenting damages, proving liability, and negotiating with insurance companies to secure fair compensation for medical expenses and lost wages under Connecticut's comparative negligence laws.

Our real estate practice handles residential transactions, refinancing, and investment property purchases across Connecticut. We provide contract review, title examination, and closing representation to protect clients' interests throughout the buying, selling, or refinancing process.
