Practice areas

Three practices, one purpose.

The Talcott Law Firm specializes in diverse areas of the law that share a common purpose: to help people during difficult times.

  • Criminal Defense

    Charged with a crime? A criminal conviction can have a significant negative impact on your life. Hiring the right attorney is an important factor in the outcome of your case. We handle DUIs, domestic violence, assault, drug possession, theft, and shoplifting. We also handle criminal traffic offenses such as reckless driving, aggressive driving, driving on a suspended license, criminal speed, and more.

  • Personal Injury

    An accident or other injury-causing event can result in serious injuries that can change your life forever. We work to secure fast and fair compensation for your injuries. We can assist with medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, emotional trauma, and more. We are experienced in negotiating claims and litigating cases, if your case cannot be settled out of court.

  • Family Law

    Divorce and child custody disputes are some of the hardest events a person can go through. There are many important decisions to make which can impact your future and your children. Hiring an attorney can help relieve stress. We handle dissolution of marriage with and without children, legal decision-making and parenting time disputes, modification, enforcement, child support, and more.

How we work

What happens after you call.

Every case is different, but the first four steps rarely are.

  1. The free consultation

    We listen to what happened, explain the charges or the claim in plain language, and tell you what the realistic outcomes are. There is no cost and no obligation.

  2. Getting the evidence

    We obtain all relevant discovery — police reports, videos, photographs, 911 recordings, witness statements — and thoroughly investigate before anyone commits to a position.

  3. Building the defense

    We interview witnesses, raise relevant defenses, draft pre-trial motions, and negotiate with the prosecutor for dismissal, diversion, or a lesser charge.

  4. Resolution or trial

    Most matters resolve before trial. If yours does not, we are confident going to court and will present the best case possible.

Why it matters

The legal system is not a do-it-yourself project.

Hiring an attorney changes what you are up against, and what you have to handle yourself.

Facing it alone

Without counsel

  • Court hearings and mandatory filings are entirely on you
  • Release conditions, warrants and licence suspensions stay as they are
  • The State controls what evidence you ever see
  • Prosecutors negotiate against someone who does not know the range
  • A conviction follows your employment, custody and gun rights

With The Talcott Law Firm

With counsel

  • We attend hearings and file the mandatory documents on your behalf
  • We move to modify release conditions, quash warrants and lift suspensions
  • We obtain all relevant discovery and investigate it independently
  • We negotiate for dismissal, diversion, or a lesser charge
  • If it goes to trial, we present the best defense possible
