Protecting The Rights Of People. Not The Powerful.
A boutique criminal defense firm representing individuals charged with serious crimes across all of Connecticut since 2006.
Criminal Defense. Nothing Else.
Every case we take is a criminal case. That singular focus means deeper knowledge, sharper strategy, and better outcomes for the people we represent.
Major Felony Defense
Murder, robbery, kidnapping, sexual assault, arson — when your life and freedom are on the line, you need a team that has been there before.
DUI / DWI Defense
A DWI arrest carries serious consequences including jail time, license suspension, and fines. We handle both the criminal case and DMV proceedings.
Drug Crimes
From possession to trafficking, we defend against all drug charges and fight unlawful search and seizure at every stage.
Gun Offenses
Gun crimes are harshly prosecuted in Connecticut state and federal courts. The penalties are severe, and the defense must be aggressive.
Federal Criminal Defense
Mail fraud, tax fraud, wire fraud, bank fraud — when the federal government comes after you, you need counsel admitted to federal courts.
Appeals
We handle criminal appeals before the Connecticut Appellate and Supreme Courts, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, and the U.S. Supreme Court.
But the mere truth won’t do. You must have a lawyer.
— Dr. Allan Woodcourt
Passion. Experience. Diligence.
Founded in 2006, The Law Office of Christopher Duby has grown from a solo practice into a boutique criminal defense firm with seven trial lawyers. We represent individuals — not corporations, not the powerful — charged with serious crimes in Connecticut state and federal courts.
