I had an outstanding experience working with Jim Miron, his assistant Gillian, and the rest of his team at the Maddox Law Firm on my car accident case. From the very beginning, Jim demonstrated professionalism, compassion, and an unwavering commitment to my case. He took the time to thoroughly understand my situation and made sure I felt supported every step of the way.
One of the things I appreciated most about Jim was his kindness and understanding. Since English is my second language, I was initially worried about being able to communicate effectively. However, he quickly put my fears to rest by offering warm words of encouragement and taking the time to explain everything in a way I could easily understand. He was always patient and ensured that I was comfortable with every decision and detail in the process.
His knowledge and expertise in handling car accident cases were evident in the way he guided me through the complexities of the legal system. He and his team, of which Gillian was my case manager, kept me informed at every stage, answered all my questions promptly, and made me feel like a priority. Thanks to his and his team’s hard work and dedication, my case was successfully settled, and I am extremely satisfied with the outcome.
Jim Miron is not only an exceptional attorney but also a genuinely caring individual who goes above and beyond for his clients. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of legal assistance. Whether you’re facing language barriers or simply looking for someone you can trust, Jim Miron and his team at the Maddox Law Firm is what you want on your side.

I have unfortunately had occasion to be represented by several attorneys over the years; some are well known high profile litigators. None of them come even close to the skills and abilities demonstrated by Mr. Klein in his representation of my matter. Besides outstanding professional abilities, he is one of the few criminal defense lawyers I've met, who picks up his own calls, and returns calls promptly. For my money, it doesn't get any better in Fairfield County.

Attorney Broder has handled several issues for us as a small business owner. He's trustworthy and honest and is totally upfront with what is expected of us and what he will provide on our behalf. He fully prepares both himself and us for proceedings to ensure we understand what is coming next. He's tenacious in his defense of his client. Although no one can guarantee outcomes, at least we know we're getting the best defense that is available.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude and confidence in my lawyers Mr.Paul Ganim and Mr. Raymond Ganim for their expertise in helping me with my injuries as a result of a car accident, in 2014. Because of Mr. Ganim, I was able to reach a settlement with the town and construction company. The injury I sustained in my accident was not my fault, although the town initially tried to show I was to blame for this accident. In fact Mr. Ganim was able to show the fault did not lie with me. A fair settlement in my favor was reached with the town and construction company. This was due in large part to the unwavering investigative research on the part of my legal team. My legal team fought for my case as hard as I believe anyone could do. I want to thank Ganim Law and their staff for resolving this case in a manor that was both professional and favorable for my settlement.
Sincerely and Many Thanks

I can say in the beginning he was very knowledgeable seemed like he wanted to help protect me and my special needs child. Towards the end just seems like he did not care anymore he knew exactly what was happening, the fact that my supposed victim I threatened me and my child, was a known drug dealer, known to be married and frauding the government, proven to lie directly to a judge.the fact that she was I was told this is not substantial to my case. But then was told by several different attorneys it should have been included. The fact that he said I shouldn't have been arrested but did nothing about it as he was not at my arraignment. Seems when I got another attorney to ask him questions everything kind of went sideways as I was being told by Mr young one thing and being proven by different attorneys that was not the case. I spent my life savings trying to protect my special needs child that Mr Young knew was in very realistic possible danger period yeah he did nothing to prove my innocence just question me as if I was the bad guy never directly answering questions

On Oct 7th I had a court date because a tenant put a restraining order on me in my own house saying that I don’t live there, I hired the service of attorney Cocco, he charged me $1,800 in cash, he just accept money order o cash, he doesn’t accept any other payment method.
He did not give me a copy of the contract we signed for his services, no receipt of payment, he only said take a picture. Can you believe that??
That day he did not make the slightest effort to defend me, we had everything to win, but he insisted through questions and preambles to try to get the judge to set an appointment for another day, I don't know for what purpose. 🤔
He obviously lost the case and only told me "you didn't tell me about the shoe" as if a hearing depended on a single argument, or he didn't know the laws. 🤨
He no listen, always is in his rush, we get together twice just for 10 minutes, and he was only interested in the payment. He talked more about the payment than the case in those 10 minutes. That was my experience.!

Contacted Stannard on behalf of my son. After he assured him that he would contact me for assistance and information Attorney Stannard never did. He never demonstrated the slightest degree of professionalism by even returning a call to me. I called 2-3 times a week for 2 months. He has also failed to show up for the necessary court appearances. If you need an efficient and dedicated attorney he is NOT the one to contact.

I have to agree with the other feedbacks. Dean Popkin has took my case and trying to take the easy route for my case. My case has to do with a family lawyer filing false claims again me, which still no proof has came out or shown to me. I have been waiting for information on my case since 9/9/24. Dean doesn't seem to have knowledge in the family system and I'm worried for my case because this is regarding my son and how he was abused by his step father! He wants me to take a protection order at which I have not seen any proof regarding what I did. I'm tried of lawyers wanting to take the easy route just to get a quick buck. This is my life and they don't have to live it or answer other judge when asked

Dean Popkins is representing my brother at this very moment and this month he will be incarcerated for a year, without ever going to court because Dean has been asking for 2 months continuance every court date and before that he just didnt show up to court. He has met my brother one time when he wanted him to take a plea deal. We have called and emailed you, we begged you to drop him as a client and you refuse to do that and still not helping him. That is inhuman what your doing and we hope we to get justice!!

Questions? We have answers
What a Criminal Defense Lawyer Can Do for You
A criminal defense lawyer provides legal representation to individuals or organizations accused of criminal conduct. If you're facing criminal charges, a defense lawyer will work to protect your rights, build a defense strategy, and ensure you receive a fair trial. Their primary goal is to reduce or dismiss charges, secure an acquittal, or negotiate a favorable plea deal.
Criminal defense lawyers have extensive knowledge of criminal law and court procedures. They investigate your case, identify weaknesses in the prosecution's evidence, and represent you in court, ensuring that you have the best possible defense.
When Should I Hire a Criminal Defense Lawyer?
It’s crucial to hire a criminal defense lawyer as soon as possible if you are facing any criminal charges. Some situations in which you should seek legal representation include:
- Arrest or police questioning: If you've been arrested or are under investigation, hiring a lawyer early on can prevent self-incrimination and protect your rights during police questioning.
- Felony charges: Crimes such as murder, assault, drug trafficking, or robbery carry severe penalties, including long prison sentences. A defense lawyer is essential in these cases.
- Misdemeanor charges: Even for less serious offenses like DUI, theft, or simple assault, a lawyer can help reduce penalties, negotiate alternatives to jail, or get charges dismissed.
- Plea negotiations: If you’re considering a plea bargain, a lawyer can evaluate the deal, advise you on its consequences, and negotiate for more favorable terms.
- Probation or parole violations: If you’ve been accused of violating probation or parole, a lawyer can defend you against additional penalties or revocation.
- Juvenile offenses: For minors charged with criminal acts, a criminal defense lawyer can protect their future by minimizing legal repercussions or keeping the case in juvenile court.
What Does a Criminal Defense Lawyer Do?
Criminal defense lawyers provide comprehensive legal services to protect their clients’ rights throughout the criminal justice process. Their duties include:
- Case evaluation and investigation: Reviewing the evidence, interviewing witnesses, and investigating the facts to develop a strong defense strategy.
- Legal advice: Advising you on your rights, the charges you’re facing, and potential defense strategies, including whether to take a plea deal or go to trial.
- Negotiating plea bargains: Working with prosecutors to negotiate a plea deal that could reduce charges or minimize penalties.
- Court representation: Representing you in all court hearings, including bail hearings, pretrial motions, trials, and sentencing hearings.
- Filing motions: Filing motions to dismiss charges, suppress evidence, or reduce bail, depending on the specifics of your case.
- Trial preparation and defense: Preparing a defense strategy and presenting arguments, evidence, and witnesses during trial to contest the prosecution's case.
- Appeals: If you are convicted, a defense lawyer can appeal the conviction or sentence, arguing errors in the trial process or legal rulings.
How Are Criminal Defense Lawyers Paid?
Criminal defense lawyers generally charge clients in one of three ways, depending on the complexity of the case and the lawyer’s experience. Payment structures include:
- Flat fee: For straightforward cases (e.g., minor misdemeanors), some lawyers charge a one-time flat fee that covers all aspects of the defense.
- Hourly rate: For more complex or ongoing cases, lawyers may charge by the hour, with rates varying based on the lawyer’s experience and geographic location.
- Retainer fee: In cases where extensive work is expected, the client may pay a retainer fee upfront. The lawyer then bills against that retainer for their work on the case.
The cost of criminal defense services can vary greatly, so it’s important to discuss fees during your initial consultation.
How Much Does a Criminal Defense Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a criminal defense lawyer depends on several factors, including the severity of the charges, the complexity of the case, and the lawyer’s experience. General cost guidelines are:
- Misdemeanor cases: For relatively minor offenses, such as a DUI or petty theft, a flat fee may range from $1,500 to $5,000.
- Felony cases: More serious charges, such as assault or drug trafficking, can range from $10,000 to $100,000 or more, depending on the complexity and duration of the case.
- Hourly rates: For cases billed by the hour, lawyers may charge anywhere from $150 to $500 or more per hour, depending on their expertise and the case's location.
- Additional expenses: You may also be responsible for other costs, such as filing fees, expert witness fees, or the cost of private investigators.
Be sure to clarify the lawyer’s fee structure and any potential additional costs during your consultation.

To verify the credibility of a criminal defense lawyer, take the following steps:
- Check their standing with the state bar: Confirm that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with your state’s bar association. Look for any past disciplinary actions or complaints.
- Read online reviews and testimonials: Platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google can provide insights from previous clients about the lawyer’s communication, professionalism, and case outcomes.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To make the most of your first consultation with a criminal defense lawyer, bring the following:
- Details of your case: Be prepared to provide a detailed account of the charges against you, including any documents related to your arrest, police reports, and court dates.
- Criminal history: If you have any prior criminal convictions, inform your lawyer so they can understand how that may affect your current case.
