Practice Areas
SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURIES
We litigate personal injury cases that involve significant, life – changing personal injuries. While most matters can be settled out of court, we approach every case we handle as though it will be presented to a jury. And we don’t hesitate to take cases to trial when the facts support that decision.
FAMILY LAW
We handle family matters, including divorce, child custody, child support and related matters. If you are contemplating involvement in any of these areas, you need an attorney who is experienced, who understands your situation and Connecticut law that applies to your situation, and can guide you accurately and effectively.
CRIMINAL DEFENSE
If you are facing criminal charges, or anticipate that you might be, you need a strong advocate who understands the roles of the important players – the Judge, the State’s Attorney, Victim’s Advocate, and others – and who understands how the system works, and the best way to navigate it to achieve the best possible results.
