Criminal Law

CRIMINAL DEFENSE

    At Serrano & Serrano, LLC, we aggressively represent persons who have been charged with crimes.  Our experience tells us that people often are wrongly accused of crimes.  We also know that sometimes people make mistakes and wind up facing criminal prosecution.

    If we take your case, you can be assured that we are determined to get you the best result possible.  Our skill has earned us the respect of prosecutors and judges.  We will put that skill to work for you, whether in attempting to negotiate a favorable outcome or in trying your case effectively to a jury.  Call us at 800 856-6400.

    As an example of our determination to achieve the best possible results for our clients, Attorney John Serrano recently won a Not Guilty verdict after a 3-week trial in Waterbury Superior Court for an individual wrongly accused of kidnapping and sexual assault who was facing 40 years in prison.

Felonies

    Felonies are the most serious crimes.  Conviction of a felony can result in a lengthy prison term and substantial fines.  Persons convicted of felonies must provide the state with a sample of their DNA.

    Felony convictions in Connecticut also result in the loss of certain rights such as the right to vote and to serve on a jury.

Misdemeanors

    Misdemeanors are less serious crimes then felonies but still result in a criminal record.  Some misdemeanors have mandatory minimum jail sentences.

    Misdemeanors involving motor vehicles can result in the suspension or loss of drivers license.
