In the United States, our cherished freedoms define our way of life. However, when faced with criminal charges, especially those of violent crimes, these freedoms hang in the balance.

Kevin Smith, Attorney at Law – Your Advocate in Times of Crisis
I’ve dedicated my career to representing individuals in New Haven, Connecticut, and beyond, particularly those accused of violent crimes. I understand the gravity of the situation you are in. When you stand accused, not only is your freedom at stake, but also your reputation, your relationships, and potentially your future career prospects. In moments like these, knowledge and experience are your strongest allies. My firm offers both in abundance.
Comprehensive Defense Against Violent Crimes

- Assault and battery

Connecticut Murder Defense – A Nuanced Approach
Murder allegations are some of the most challenging cases to defend. While Connecticut has abolished the death penalty, a murder conviction could result in a life sentence. The media’s role in sensationalizing such cases can inadvertently create prejudice, turning public opinion against you before the trial even begins. My team and I recognize these challenges. Our holistic approach to defense aims to protect you both in the courtroom and in the court of public opinion. If the need arises, we will advocate for a change in trial location to ensure you receive a fair and impartial hearing.
Every Case Has A Defense
Remember, being charged is not the same as being convicted. There are always potential defenses to explore. My firm meticulously investigates every facet of your case, leveraging eyewitness accounts, witness statements, available evidence, and advanced scientific testing methods. With a rich history of trial experience, I know how to strategically present a persuasive defense to a jury. I remain committed to harnessing every legal avenue and tactic to ensure the best possible outcome for my clients.
