No defense is too fierce when your freedom is at stake.

Habeas Corpus     Appeals of Criminal Convictions     Expungement of Criminal Records     Criminal Property Forfeiture     DUI Defense

Your most valuable assets can be lost if you have been charged with a crime in the state of Connecticut...your freedom and your reputation…to say nothing of the forfeiture of all your assets which is why you need a criminal defense attorney if you or a loved one are charged with a crime in CT.

Connecticut state prosecutors have the vast resources of police departments and their own investigators working hard to make their case against citizens, often before they are even charged with a crime. These resources must be countered with an aggressive defense that includes state-of-the-art electronic research systems, expert witnesses who are available for the particular type of criminal case involved, and criminal investigators who work with the criminal defense lawyers of Spinella & Associates to develop the best possible criminal defense.
