I have been representing the rights of accused persons in State Courts in Connecticut since 1989. Call me the moment you are aware that you or your loved one have come under a criminal investigation. An accused person has an absolute right to remain silent in the face of criminal accusations against them  and a right to counsel during any criminal investigation. Most people believe that they can resolve the matter by tellng police their side of the of the story. Nothing could be further from the truth in most cases. Police are trained questioners. You are at a huge disadvantage when you voluntarily choose to speak with them during a criminal investigation regardless of any assurances made to you. Providing any information to the police while you are under a criminal, DCF, or School investigation for the alleged commission of a crime may actually result in the use of totally innocent facts provided by you to corroborate the criminal complaint against you, thereby forming the basis for the probable cause necessary to secure a warrant for your arrest. If you or a loved one are the subject of a criminal investigation call Attorney Favreau. In many cases the most crucial stage of the representation is prior to arrest during the investigation phase. If you have already been arrested it is not too late. Call Attorney Favreau. I have effectively represented hundreds of people accused of crime at all stages of the criminal proceding for many years in many different Courts throughout Connecticut.  No case is too big or too small, including but not limited to, Murder, Manslaughter, Sexual Assault, Date Rape, Statutory Rape, Assault and Domestic Violence, Burglary, Larceny, Drug offenses, Breach of Peace, Criminal Mischief, Embezzelment, and other serious criminal and motor vehicle matters such as DUI as well as Juvenile matters and infractiions or traffic tickets. I have years of experience effectively representing clients at all stages of the criminal proceeding either to minimize the consequences of  criminal conduct which an accused person has admitted or  alternatively in an effort to exonerate the accused person at a trial before the Court or a Jury. I also handle certain post judgment matters such as Pardon Applications and Probabtion Violations. I am AV Rated by Martindale-Hubbell for the past 6 years and was selected to the list of Connecticiut Super Lawyers. The consequences of criminal involvement with the law are too serious for you, your family, and your loved ones to try to go it alone. My office is conveniently loated off of I-84 at exit 65 in the Vernon Professional Building. Less than 20 minutes from UCONN and only about 5 minutes from Superior Court, GA19 at Rockville. College students are particularly vulnerable during any police investigation due to their interest in remaining in good standing with their repspective University and the particular University's Student Code of Conduct often triggered by an arrest for even a minor criminal matter. Call me today for a free and confidential  consultation. You'll be glad you did!
