Our Criminal Defense Lawyers are Ready to Help
Any criminal investigation, arrest, or charge is a cause for stress and worry for many reasons. You may not know what to expect from the legal process or how long it will take. You also don’t know what the outcome will be. The possibility of severe penalties, such as imprisonment, fines, or a criminal record, can cause significant anxiety.
Furthermore, being accused of a crime can lead to social stigma and reputational damage, even before you have even had your day in court. Legal proceedings, potential fines, and/or loss of employment can lead to financial distress as well as emotional strain. Certain criminal charges can affect your career, causing you to lose your professional license or risk future employment opportunities.
All of this can have a cumulative effect and become overwhelming. Putting an experienced criminal defense lawyer on your side is crucial in these matters. An attorney who deals with these issues daily, who possesses the knowledge and skills needed, and who has a strong record of accomplishment is your best defense under these trying circumstances.
Your initial consultation with a Glastonbury lawyer for criminal defense is complimentary. Contact us via email or call (860) 356-3805. Hablamos español.
