Stephen makes you feel like you are the only person in the room, even if you are in a crowd of hundreds. If you have concerns about your case, he will always take the time to talk to you and give you an honest assessment of where things stand.

Stephen focuses his practice on a full range of Connecticut criminal matters – including DUI offenses, drug cases, domestic violence offenses, and traffic violations. Stephen also provides legal services in civil matters – including automobile accidents, slip and falls, premises liability, and business matters.

Stephen has been intrigued by the law since he was very young, and this infatuation continues to this day.
