Criminal Defense
Have you or a loved one been arrested? The attorneys at LaBelle, LaBelle & Naab have handled numerous criminal cases, including DUI (driving under the influence) charges and possession of illegal substance charges. When arrested for driving under the influence, you not only face charges in court, but must also appear before the Department of Motor Vehicles to determine the consequences by that agency. Our firm can represent you in both arenas. Here are some of the legal services we provide.
Traffic Offenses – We can help you defend against the Motor Vehicle citations you may have received as a result of speeding or other traffic violations. At times, it is beneficial to plead not guilty to these citations and go to court. If successful, you will avoid having moving violations placed against your license, thereby avoiding the increased cost of insurance among other consequences.
Alcohol-Related Offenses - If you have been arrested for drunk driving, we can advise you of your rights and the penalties you may face in both criminal courts and in the Department of Motor Vehicles.
Possessory Offenses – We can help you defend against offenses for possession of narcotics in criminal courts. There are many diversionary programs available through the State of Connecticut to help you avoid felony convictions and potential jail time. Our firm can advise you of your rights and the penalties you are facing, as well as advise you of any available programs that may lessen your exposure to such penalties.
