Domestic Violence

Crimes involving domestic violence carry more stigma than most other offenses because they arise from mistreating someone you’re supposed to love or be close to. If convicted, there are penalties that go beyond fines and jail time. They include loss of parental rights and a tainted reputation in the community. For this reason, you should retain a Connecticut criminal defense attorney if you find yourself facing domestic violence charges.

DUI Charges

Thanks to intense public opinion and ‘War on Drugs’ campaigns, drug crimes are often punished more harshly than other offenses. If controlled substances are found in your possession and the police believe that you’re selling them, you risk spending up to 15 years in prison as a first-time offender. Even carrying prescription medications in any container except the original can subject you to criminal charges. An experienced drug crimes lawyer will fight to prevent a drug offense from damaging the rest of your life.

Property Crimes

In Connecticut, there are three main property crime categories: larceny (theft), burglary, and criminal mischief. Depending on what you are charged with and the circumstances surrounding the alleged offense, you could spend anywhere from one year to life in prison after being convicted of a property crime. Don’t face these charges without advice and representation from a criminal defense lawyer

Gun Crimes

Connecticut’s gun laws are among the most restrictive in the U.S. Weapons offenses are typically charged and prosecuted as felonies, which means that you could be fined thousands of dollars, sent to prison for years, and registered in the state Deadly Weapon Offender Registry. If you are arrested for a gun crime, contact an attorney who will examine the evidence against you and introduce legal strategies to get the charges reduced or dismissed.

Crimes Against Society

Crimes against society include breach of the peace, disorderly conduct, and interfering with a police officer. Although they involve actions people take every day, like flipping someone off in traffic, yelling in public, or getting impatient with a police officer, they can all result in a criminal record, so don’t face these charges alone.
