Practice Areas

Receiving a citation or being arrested for an alleged criminal act can be a traumatic and confusing experience. For many people, this is their first encounter with the criminal justice system. For others, it is essential to avoid the penalties that often come with subsequent convictions.

Regardless of your circumstances, you deserve legal representation to protect your freedom and reputation against criminal accusations. Having your case in the hands of an experienced attorney means avoiding losses due to incarceration, loss of work, denial of government benefits and programs, public disclosure of your criminal record, and negative reputation. The Romanello Law Firm is prepared to provide the help you need in this difficult time.

Types Of Criminal Cases We Handle

Every criminal case should be taken seriously and met with a tailored defense strategy. Even misdemeanor-level accusations can create a criminal record and could force a person to spend time in jail after a conviction. Even more concerning are felonies that can follow a person for the rest of their life.

We are prepared to handle cases involving all kinds of criminal accusations, including but not limited to:

• DUI/DWI and DMV hearings
• Drug Cases
• Assault
• Arson
• Domestic violence
• Traffic matters
• Theft crimes

Every criminal case will involve different charges, facts, and circumstances that impact a client’s needs and goals. We can assist by explaining the exact nature of the charges, helping you to understand the potential punishments and what the prosecutor needs to prove to convict you of a crime. We will work with each individual person to meet the specific needs of their case.

In some circumstances, completing a probation period or participating in a court program could lead to a court dismissing a charge entirely. In other circumstances, we may be able to assist clients in negotiating a fair plea deal. These deals can result in a court issuing a lesser sentence, often times avoiding jail time.

We approach each case with by listening to our clients in a fact gathering process. The Romanello Law Firm ensures our clients get the help that they deserve by truly exploring all aspects of the case. Our team of attorneys (including a former State of Connecticut Prosecutor) and staff members is dedicated to finding the best criminal defense for your case.
