DUI and Drunk Driving

New Haven, Connecticut, DUI and DWI Defense Attorney

If you have been arrested for DUI/ DWI, your future is on the line, as a drunk driving conviction can have a serious impact upon many parts of your professional and personal life. It can affect your driver's license or your professional license. It may mean jail time. It may mean the loss of employment opportunities. For 28 years, I have defended New Haven, Connecticut, residents who have been arrested or charged with driving under the influence.

If you know that you are being investigated for a crime, please retain an attorney as soon as possible. Also, please be aware that you do not have to talk to the police and you do not have to let them into your home unless they have a search warrant. In my experience as a criminal defense attorney, it never helps your case to speak with the police.

At the Law Offices of Diane Polan, LLC,, I can assist clients with all their DUI/DWI legal matters, including complex DUI cases. I also represent clients at “per se” administrative hearings before the Connecticut Department of Motor Vehicles where the State will seek revocation of your driver’s license.

I am a skilled trial attorney and Yale graduate, who will fight passionately for you in court, whether in front of a judge or a jury. Although I have a proven history of success in jury trials, I am equally comfortable negotiating a plea agreement. I will work with you to take the action that will help you secure the best possible results.
