Areas of Criminal Defense Continued
Drug Possession & Sale
Connecticut takes drug crimes very seriously. From drug possession to intent to sell and trafficking, all of these have, if convicted, serious consequences. These potential consequences, even for minor drug convictions, include incarceration, steep fines, and a criminal record that could impede future employment opportunities. Make sure you have an experienced drug crime lawyer on your side.
Probation Violation
If you have been granted probation after being convicted of a crime, this is a favorable outcome; however, if you have breached any of the conditions of your probation, you will be charged with a probation violation. Being charged with a probation violation can be a tedious and frustrating situation, but one that can quickly spiral if not defended properly.
Juvenile Crimes
If you or your child has been arrested, it is incredibly important you have an experienced criminal defense attorney on your side. A mistake a young adult makes can remain with them for the rest of their lives if not defended properly. For over 30 years, Attorney Salvatore Bonanno has been representing juveniles and college-aged students in cases.
Traffic Tickets & Infractions
Traffic tickets and violations might seem like simply tedious infractions, but if not handled properly, they can have a lasting impact on your future. A blemished driving record can seriously affect your insurance premiums and sometimes, your ability to maintain your license at all. If you’ve been given a traffic ticket or infraction, an experienced attorney can help keep your driving record clean and save you money.
Perjury & Tampering Defense
Both Perjury and Tampering charges are similar and are often brought in conjunction with each other. Many times these charges involve situations where a defendant engages in what he or she believed at the time to be insignificant behavior such as discussing a matter with someone they know is a witness to a crime; however, this behavior is later viewed as criminal behavior.If you’ve been charged with a perjury or tampering offense, be sure to secure an attorney that has handled many such cases.
Weapons Crimes Defense
Weapon crime charges can have serious consequences. Though we have a right to bear arms, Connecticut laws are incredibly strict when it comes to behaving illegally with any weapon. If you’ve been charged with a weapon crime, it is important that you retain an experienced criminal defense attorney immediately.
White Collar Crimes
A white-collar crime accusation can completely tarnish one’s reputation and the reputation of those closest to them. If you’ve been charged with a white-collar crime, make sure to hire a Connecticut criminal defense attorney with over 30 years of experience to craft the best possible defense for you.
Expungements & Pardons
A criminal record can affect your future in a number of ways from employment opportunities and even where you are allowed to live, but a pardon can completely erase your criminal record, wiping the slate clean. While a certificate of employability ensures that future employers cannot deny you a job based on your criminal record. These possibilities can create a sense a relief if you have been through the criminal justice system. If you have a criminal record and interested in applying for a pardon or certificate of employability, contact Attorney Salvatore Bonanno today.
