Connecticut Criminal Defense Attorney

Charged with a crime in Connecticut?

Choosing a defense lawyer after you have been charged with a crime could be the most important decision of your life. The outcome of any criminal trial is largely based upon the experience, dedication and hard work of your attorney. As a Connecticut criminal defense lawyer, I have the experience and ability to defend even the most serious of charges, and stand ready to protect the rights of my clients who are caught in the criminal justice system, whether at a state or federal level.

As a criminal defense attorney, I comb through every piece of evidence to find the errors and flaws in the case to bring to the attention of the court. As the burden of proof in criminal cases lies with the prosecutor, my actions are geared towards exposing the flaws in the case, whether in evidence, witness reports, police reports, lab and testing procedures or other evidence.

Drug Crimes
Challenging drug charges is an important part of my criminal defense practice. These encompass a broad range of criminal offenses, all related to controlled substances. A defendant may face criminal charges for unlawful possession, distribution, sale, trafficking, manufacturing or cultivation of a controlled substance such as an illegal narcotic or a prescription drug. I am competent in handling drug cases involving both illegal drugs such as heroin, cocaine and ecstasy and prescription drugs such as OxyContin, hydrocodone and Xanax. With my experience in this field, I am able to recognize subtle differences between these cases. I have the resources to fully investigate each case to identify and expose violations of procedure or a client's constitutional rights. An illegal search, for example, may enable me to file a successful motion to suppress evidence in a drug case, effectively turning the tides in my client's favor.

I am attorney Erin Field and my experience in court is an advantage for individuals facing a criminal charge. There is more to defending a criminal case than knowledge of the law.
