At my Connecticut law firm of The Law Offices of John T. Walkley, I put my 25 years of experience and compassion behind every criminal case. I have learned that people make mistakes and need honest, aggressive legal representation when they are charged with federal or state crimes like DUI, fraud, drug crime, juvenile law, shoplifting, burglary and larceny, as well as many other crimes.

I hope to also apply my experience and compassion to this blog, so it will be a beneficial criminal law resource for any accused people and their families in Connecticut or around the U.S.

When it comes to being charged with a crime, there is no question that a competent criminal defense attorney is a necessity from the beginning of the criminal justice process. This is especially true in states like Connecticut where convictions for crimes like murder could lead to capital punishment. Because of my diverse experience advocating for thousands of accused people in many different courts, and for a variety of crimes, I know that protecting the rights of the criminally accused is crucial to preserving the justice system as a whole.

As I post blogs related to criminal law news or changes to the Connecticut or federal criminal process, I welcome your comments and questions. I hope that you find this blog both helpful and interesting, but please visit my website for further information on specific crimes and penalties. You can also contact me online if you are interested in legal representation.
