DMV License Hearings

How the DMV is involved in DUI cases in Connecticut.

Scientific Testing

Breath & blood tests can be confusing. Let us help you understand them.

I heartedly recommend Attorney Teresa DiNardi. She knows the in and outs of the system, and she has a great success rate. If you're looking for an attorney who is knowledgeable, professional, and personable look no further.

Yvonne P.

Being a first time DUI I was really shocked at how serious this could be. Attorney Teresa DiNardi made the whole process very easy and every question I had she was very prompt and responsive. Teresa knew all the other attorneys and judges which made me feel so comfortable. She was able to work within the parameters and got me out of court quickly and helped me immensely. Her knowledge of the legal system and understanding of my situation made me so happy. She is the best and I couldn't give a better review of any attorney than I could for Teresa!

Jessica

I just wanted to take a moment to let everyone know of my experience with Teresa DiNardi. Having never been through this experience in my life, I was so uncertain of what was going to occur and scared for what may happen. Teresa did everything in her power to ensure this process went smoothly and in my favor. Every step along the way, I was kept informed, and all my questions were answered. The level of professionalism and knowledge of the system, both inside and outside of the courtroom that Teresa demonstrated went far beyond my expectations. I cannot express the sense of relief I had throughout this process with such an experienced and competent attorney by my side. I will forever be grateful for Teresa and commend her for her hard-work and dedication to my case.

Rachel

I hired Attorney DiNardi after trying to fight my case with a Public Defender...the judge wouldn't offer less than 2 years to serve. I hired Attorney DiNardi and the entire dynamics changed. The judge began looking at my case differently. Attorney DiNardi was able to effectively argue for the judge to give me a fully suspended sentence. She saved my liberty and my life. I highly recommend her!!!!

Michaella

The detailed attention to my situation is beyond compare. Teresa and her team treated me with respect and a caring that gave me confidence in my situation that all would be fine and it was. Thanks to Teresa, my life is back on track and my troubles are all behind me.

Abraham

I had Teresa DiNardi represent me and can't tell y'all enough how good she is! My case was over with today and I couldn't have asked for a better outcome! She did everything she said she would and made a mountain into a molehill, she is definitely worth every bit of the investment I, and anyone else could make! Thanks Teresa.
