Why Hire Us?

Handling a DUI case is more involved than simply showing up in Court. There are two separate but equally important aspects to every DUI Case. Many Attorneys are not familiar with the DMV Hearing Process and do not think that it is important. However, this is the process that effects your ability to drive in the State of Connecticut. As a result, we take this part of the process very seriously and include it in every one of our defense cases.
