About this practice area
Are you or a family member in trouble with the law?
You need personalized, reliable and committed defense. Any citation or arrest must be taken seriously because of the implications for your freedom, your family, your insurance rates and your future. Timely and proper legal counsel can prevent the harshest punishments and, if you are under investigation, possibly even prevent charges from being brought against you. Our New Haven criminal defense attorneys will work to put a regrettable matter entirely behind you.
The LoRicco Law Firm provides experienced and sophisticated defense for any criminal issue you or a member of your family faces. We practice in the municipal and criminal courts of New Haven County and adjoining jurisdictions of Connecticut.
Experienced criminal defense by an established New Haven firm
We are a full-service firm operating in New Haven and other Shoreline communities since 1956. We represent clients who find themselves in legal trouble or who seek a trusted New Haven criminal defense lawyer to represent their child or another family member.
Our criminal defense attorneys have successfully defended clients at trial and favorably resolved a wide range of criminal charges, including:
- Driving under the influence (DUI)
- Motor vehicle violations
- Shoplifting and larceny
- Assault
- Drug possession
- Other misdemeanors and felonies
We make sure you are treated fairly under the law. We will advise you of your legal options, the likely penalties and the possible collateral consequences. For example, certain convictions must be disclosed on job applications or may turn up in background checks done by employers or community organizations. Where you choose to live could be restricted along with your right to possess a firearm.
Do not make statements to police or decide how to handle a charge before speaking with a criminal defense attorney. When your record, license, job, or freedom may be at stake, early private counsel can give you time, strategy, and direct attention before the case moves further. Our team will make every effort to keep your record clean and to negotiate minimal impacts on your life.
