The criminal justice system is a beast. It'll eat you for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It can make you feel confused. Overwhelmed. Scared. Angry. Hopeless. I became a criminal defense attorney because I wanted to make sure people like you don't have to face the beast alone. I've dedicated my career to advocating on behalf of the criminally accused in state and federal courts throughout New Haven, Connecticut.
If you hire me to represent you in your criminal case, you will gain a fierce ally who will exhaust every possible resource and defense strategy to achieve the outcome you desire. A criminal charge is a very serious matter. Even a low-level first-time misdemeanor offense can result in consequential penalties, including jail time, fines, probation, and community service.
A more serious felony or federal offense can land you in prison for several years. While these penalties are harsh, the aftermath of a conviction can be even more devastating. A criminal record will follow you everywhere you go and could hinder your ability to get a job, secure housing, obtain a loan, and even keep custody of your children.

In Connecticut, there are many criminal offenses that fall under the umbrella of "theft" or larceny including burglary and robbery.
Burglary involves unlawfully breaking and entering into a building with the intent to commit larceny.
Robbery, on the other hand, involves the use or threat of force to steal the property of another.
Both are very serious felony crimes that can lead to long prison sentences and heavy fines.
When a deadly weapon is involved, the penalties significantly increase.
For example, armed robbery comes with a mandatory minimum sentence of five years in prison - even for a first offense.
