Hartford Criminal Defense Attorney

Criminal Lawyers Providing A Strong Defense in Hartford

Being charged with a crime is scary, and for good reasons, whether or not it is your first time. A conviction for a first offense can lead to time in jail or prison, large fines and fees, and a variety of other consequences.

Potential punishment only gets worse for subsequent offenses, which is why it is vital you have a strong legal advocate on your side to fight for your rights, freedom, and future. We have the knowledge and experience to build a strong criminal defense in your favor. Remember, it is never in your best interest to represent yourself or speak to police before you have a criminal defense lawyer on your side. Budlong & Budlong, LLC can help.

When Should You Hire A Criminal Defense Attorney?

It would be ideal to have a criminal defense lawyer present with you from the moment you were placed in the back of a cop vehicle. That, however, is not practical. You should, however, make the effort to speak to a defense lawyer as soon as possible, ideally after you are released from custody.
