- 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.
- James O'Neill Ruane:
What you say to the prosecutor is up to you. Oftentimes, it is a
confusing play of events and it may be in your best legal interest to
have an attorney representing your interests. The decision to hire an
attorney is yours. Make the right choice for you. The judge will allow
you the opportunity for a continuance to hire a lawyer. If you feel you
should, take advantage of the time to contact a lawyer with whom you
feel comfortable.
- David Dworski:
HIRE AN ATTORNEY WHO'S FOCUS IS DWI DEFENSE. The law is VERY technical
and difficult for the arresting authorities to comply with error free.
The Client should consult with a DWI professional IMMEDIATELY after
arrest. This allows the most accurate & thorough reconstruction of
events from memory, assisting the defense.
