Danbury Criminal Defense Attorney

Defending Against Serious Criminal Charges

A criminal charge is a violation of the law that has serious consequences - incarceration or other severe penalties. If you are facing criminal charges, you need an experienced Danbury criminal defense lawyer to review your case and determine what defense options are available. Undoubtedly you are under a lot of stress and have very important questions that need accurate answers. Can the case be dismissed? What are my chances of prevailing in a trial? What will happen to me if I am convicted? There are as many defense strategies as there are cases.

The attorneys at Jowdy & Jowdy can investigate the alleged crime and evaluate the evidence against you and derive a defense tailored for you. Each case is unique and in nearly every case, a defense can be constructed to provide the accused with protection from the most severe penalties of our justice system. Your defense is important to us.

Too often a person accused of a serious crime is frozen by fear or false hope and delays the critical step of contacting a criminal defense attorney. An early start on a case allows your attorney to gather evidence, file defense motions and otherwise have the time to prepare a case on your behalf. As you attend to a criminal arrest and charges in the state of Connecticut, you will greatly benefit from having a defense attorney on your side working on behalf of protecting your rights and good standing. At Jowdy & Jowdy, we are prepared to help in any of the following ways:

Assault Charges
You can be accused and charged of assault for simply making a threat. No violent physical behavior needs to actually occur. Read more about assault charges.

Domestic Violence
Almost always, a law enforcement officer will make an arrest when reporting to the scene in which a domestic violence allegation has been made, whether or not there is evidence to support it. Read more about domestic violence.

Drug Crimes
If you have been accused of possessing, using, transporting, selling, growing, or manufacturing any type of controlled substance or narcotic, you will undoubtedly require an aggressive attorney who can act in your defense. Read more about drug crimes.

DWI
You can be arrested for DWI if your blood alcohol level is above the legal limit (.08%) at the time you are pulled over and inspected by a Connecticut law enforcement officer. Read more about DWI.

2nd, 3rd, 4th DWI Charge
Being arrested for driving while intoxicated is a serious offense that gains increasingly harsher sentencing and punishment the more times you are arrested for this type of behavior. Read more about 2nd, 3rd, 4th DWI charges.

Fraud Crimes
Fraudulent behaviors can take many forms, including bank fraud, credit card fraud, wire fraud, mail fraud, identity fraud, embezzlement, and counterfeiting. Read more about fraud crimes.

Juvenile Crimes
Most juvenile crimes are tried and convicted separately from the ways in which adult criminal allegations are addressed. As such, your defense attorney should be familiar with the juvenile court system and all of its proceedings when taking on the case of a minor. Read more about juvenile crimes.

One of the most serious crimes you can be accused of is murder / manslaughter. Only with an aggressive, experienced, highly skillful defense lawyer do you stand a chance of escaping conviction after being accused of murder or manslaughter. Read more about murder / manslaughter.
