New Haven Criminal Defense Lawyer

In my 25 years as a lawyer in Connecticut, I have talked with thousands of people who have been charged with crimes, both as a prosecutor and a defense attorney. My experiences have made me more compassionate as an attorney. I understand that people aren't perfect and that they make mistakes. Most of the time, my clients are simply looking for an opportunity to leave court and not be branded for the rest of their lives.

While I started out as a prosecutor, for the past 20 years I have dedicated my practice to defending people charged with crimes ranging from DUI/DWI, to fraud, to murder.

As your criminal defense lawyer, I will work to help you obtain the results you need at a fair price, whether we have to go to trial to get that result or whether it is something that can be resolved short of a trial. I will be honest about your prospects and what the end result is likely to be. I will tell you what you are facing on the good side as well as the bad. This assessment will be based on more than 25 years of experience with judges, prosecutors, and juries in Connecticut, and on many thousands of individual cases.

Having served as a prosecutor and a defense attorney has been very instructional. Those experiences have helped me find ways to resolve criminal charges in a manner that is meaningful both to the state and the person charged.
