What the office handles

  • Criminal defenseAssault, domestic violence, drug charges, DUI, theft and sex offense cases, from the arrest through the last court date.
  • DUI & the DMVA Connecticut DUI is two cases at once: a criminal charge, and a DMV license suspension with its own short deadline.
  • Divorce & familyDivorce, custody, child support and property division, including the family-violence cases that often run alongside them.
  • Firearms lawPistol permit revocations and appeals, permit denials, firearm surrender under a protective order, and weapons charges.

Firearms permits

Connecticut pistol permits are issued, and revoked, by the local issuing authority — usually the town's police chief, not the State. A Darien permit denial or revocation can be appealed to the state Board of Firearms Permit Examiners under Connecticut General Statutes § 29-32b, within 90 days of the notice. The Board's calendar runs months out, so the first call matters. More on the firearms page.
