About Company:
We are a mid-sized law firm headquartered in Shelton, CT with
offices and attorneys throughout Connecticut. The firm handles all
areas of criminal, civil rights, habeas corpus, motor vehicle, and
juvenile law. We fight for underdogs daily.
Our firm was built on the understanding that comprehensive
representation does not begin and end in the courtroom. We want our
clients to be satisfied with their choice of firm, not just with
their choice of attorney. Our client service and support staff are
dedicated to making the experience of retaining an attorney as
smooth as possible and ensuring that no client ever has a question
or concern that goes unanswered. It doesn't matter how good an
attorney is if they don't pay close attention to the wants and
needs of the client. We want to make sure that each of our clients
is as happy with the experience they have with our firm as they are
with the ultimate result of their case.
We are an equal-opportunity employer.
