There Are Two Sides To Every Story

On one side, police officers and criminal prosecutors will use considerable resources to tell their version of events and secure a conviction. On the other side is a person who is usually unfamiliar with the criminal justice system and is concerned about how an arrest will affect their future.

Are You Injured And Feeling Like The Odds Are Stacked Against You?

The sooner you speak with a personal injury lawyer, the more that can be done to protect your rights to getting the compensation you deserve for your medical bills, rehabilitation expenses, lost and future wages and pain and suffering. We will help you gather the medical records you need, contact key witnesses, analyze the facts of your case and develop the best case possible to get the maximum compensation for your injuries.

Our lawyers have achieved successful case results for decades on behalf of clients throughout Connecticut. While past results do not guarantee future ones, our experience and knowledge of injury claims and malpractice cases allows us to tailor our representation strategically to your legal needs.
