- Fraud
- RobberyA conviction for any violent crime such as robbery, arson, first degree assault or murder may carry enhanced penalties if charged as a hate crime. The court could add years to the base prison sentence. Attorney Weiner is skilled at challenging the justification for prosecution as a bias crime.
- BurglaryWhile most property crimes involving juveniles are misdemeanor offenses, they're often an indication that a teen is troubled or "hanging out with the wrong crowd." Underage drinking and smoking "weed" are often a prequel to acts of vandalism, car theft, or even burglary. That's why it's important to work within the juvenile system in order to get a young person the help he or she needs to avoid graduating to more serious crime and becoming entangled in the adult criminal justice system.
- White Collar CrimesThe defense of complex white collar crime cases requires experience, skill, and often careful analysis of computer files, electronic data and financial documents. It is important to work with an attorney who will fully investigate the charges to identify what legal defense options exist.

- Real Estate TransactionsPurchasing a home is one of the largest investments most people ever make. For this reason, it is important for home buyers to ensure that all legal issues are fully addressed prior to closing. In Connecticut, individuals who are buying or selling residential real estate are not necessarily required to retain legal counsel. However, there are numerous aspects of a real estate transaction, including binder and contract drafting, review and revision, title search review, title insurance, review of mortgage and closing documents for which your interests are best protected by the involvement of your own attorney. As such, if you are buying, selling or refinancing residential property in Connecticut, you need an experienced attorney at the closing to protect and advocate strongly for your interests.
