Criminal Law

For many years, Attorney Conti was the Court Advocate (Prosecutor) in Juvenile Court and has practiced in every county in the State of Connecticut in a variety of criminal matters including, but not limited to, DWI, sexual assaults, assaults, burglaries and larcenies, murder, domestic disputes and drug offenses. It has always been his philosophy to deal with the whole person in an attempt to return a person to a normal life and to deal with clients struggling with substance and emotional issues. The power of the government is impressive, and the representation of the accused by an experienced attorney is crucial in protecting an individual's Constitutional rights and maintaining his or her presumption of innocence.

Personal Injury and Worker's Compensation

Representation of individuals in Personal Injury and Worker's Compensation cases is one of the most rewarding, if not difficult areas of law. It requires patience, experience and an understanding of the client's personality, family and financial circumstances, as well as the injuries involved.

In these troubled times, it is especially important to have a seasoned advocate to represent the client against insurance companies unwilling to fairly compensate victims of negligence and workplace injuries.
