• Nicholas Adamucci: Being charged with a crime, or even being investigated is a frightening proposition. What is even scarier is the fact that many people accused of a crime do not have the benefit of experienced legal advice and sound judgment. Connecticut criminal law encompasses virtually any issue that arises out of an arrest or police investigation based on the suspicion of criminal activity. Criminal law includes grand jury indictments, bail, office hearings, plea negations, preliminary hearings, jury or court trials, sentencing, and violations of probation. When confronting any of these critical proceedings, hiring the right Connecticut criminal defense lawyer can often make all the difference in the world.
• Frank Riccio: Pursuant to Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure (FRCP) 11, prosecutors may promise to move to dismiss other charges or recommend that the court authorize a specific sentence or sentencing range in order to encourage a criminal defendant to plead guilty to a certain charge. In addition, Rule 11 requires courts to advise a defendant considering entering into a plea agreement that the defendant has no right to withdraw the plea if the court does not follow the prosecutor's request or recommendation. In fact, failure to warn a defendant that there is no right to withdraw a plea if the court rejects the prosecutor's request or recommendation may entitle a defendant who is subsequently convicted to obtain relief based on a Rule 11 failing.
• Krasnow & Krasnow: If you have been charged with a crime, you need to protect your rights as well as your reputation.
• Meehan & Meehan: One of the most common and unforgiving crimes is driving while intoxicated and typically referred to as DWI or DUI. Connecticut treats this offense with extreme seriousness because of the risks involved with the operation of a motor vehicle while intoxicated. When an individual is arrested for DWI in Connecticut he or she must resolve the case in two separate forums. A DWI offender is prosecuted for the crime in Superior Court, but also faces suspension of his or her operating privileges at the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) after an Administrative Per Se Hearing. It is critical to realize that you have a right to an attorney during the entire DWI proceeding. This forum requires the expertise of an attorney who is experienced in all of the issues that arise at both the Administrative Per Se Hearing and the criminal prosecution.
