About Us
WINDHAM COUNTY CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEYS
Defending Clients for over 40 Years
At The Law Office of Jerome Paun, we feel compassion for you, your situation, and your loved ones. We understand that if you are looking for a criminal defense lawyer, you, or somebody you care about, is in trouble with the law. You’ve been arrested, or you expect to be. The police, or other government agents like the Department of Children and Families, want to talk to you. You may feel like you want to talk to them because you think it’s all a big mistake. You may think that once you explain your side of the story to them, they will understand and it will all go away. (You don’t know it yet but it won’t just go away.) You are probably scared of what’s happening, confused about what to do, and worried about your future. You probably have questions you would like answered.
We are passionate about vigorously defending our clients' rights, preserving their freedom and protecting their future. We are dedicated to defending against: criminal, drunk driving and other motor vehicle offenses, and juvenile delinquency charges. If you already have a Connecticut criminal conviction record, we can help you clear your record by expunging your convictions with a pardon petition or an erasure motion, which ever may be appropriate.
We understand. We can help you, if you’ll just call us for your free initial consultation. Contact us today to get started!

What You Should Expect From Us
When you call our office, we will carefully listen to what you tell us. We will make every effort to schedule your initial free consultation as soon as possible, at a time convenient for you. We want to help you get out of your legal troubles.
During your free initial consult: we will listen to you and your concerns; we will explain the criminal justice system to you; we will explain your rights to you. We will explore the facts of your case. We will explain how the facts relate to the charges against you so you will understand your legal situation. We will explore the legal defenses that may be available. We will answer your questions thoroughly and honestly. Finally, we will explain our counsel fees to you. And we will work with you to help make our fees affordable for you.
By the end of your initial consultation, we want you to leave knowing more about your situation than you did before you came. We want you to feel at least somewhat more hopeful about your legal defense options, even if you don't retain our services.
If you retain The Law Office of Jerome Paun, we will empower you to effectively participate in your legal defense. We will promptly return your phone calls and honestly answer your questions. We will do our best to help you avoid: criminal conviction, jail, and a conviction record by using a diversionary program if you are eligible for one. If you are ineligible for a diversionary program, we will attempt to negotiate the best possible plea agreement to minimize the criminal charges and to avoid or minimize a jail sentence. If all else fails and you want to go to trial, we will vigorously defend you at trial. We know and will explain to you what the government must prove to convict you of the crimes charged. We know and will explain to you what legal defenses may be available to challenge and hopefully defeat the state's case. We will always remember that you are innocent until you either choose to plead guilty or are found guilty by proof beyond a reasonable doubt after trial.
