DownloadConnecticut Reckless Driving FAQsMeet the Connecticut Lawyers


Hundreds of Connecticut drivers have turned to Ruane Attorneys when their license is on the line.

Our clients have included prosecutors, state police officers, local police officers, judicial magistrates, court employees and their family members, white collar, blue collar and no collar workers.

A reckless driving case in Connecticut can have serious impact on a person and their family. Besides the inevitable auto insurance increase, there may be lost time from work, the possibility of further driver’s license suspension, a record and even jail time. Reckless driving is seen as a minor offense – but can have major consequences. We appear every day in the courts throughout Connecticut on reckless driving and related charges. Our attorneys know how to defend these cases, know how to pitch your story to the prosecutor, and know a good deal from a bad one.

In 2010, 914 people in Connecticut were convicted of Reckless Driving. Every one of those 914 people lost their driver’s license for at least 30 days, and had to get supplemental auto insurance. Of those people, 285 of them spent time in jail! Don’t be one of the ones who suffer this year!

Our lawyers are the best friends you don’t want – but need.

1. Time doesn’t matter
We don’t charge by the hour. Your case takes as long as we need it to take to get the right result. We won’t pressure you to move your case and plead guilty because you don’t want to spend more money on another court date. Every court date is included in your legal fee.

2. Knowledge is power
We have reputations for being the knowledgeable lawyers in the field. Judges, prosecutors and other lawyers look to us when they have a question. We give away more information on reckless driving on this website and in our free initial consultations than most lawyers do when they handle your case. The informed client is our best client – because you know how much we are doing for you.

3. Communication matters
We give you updates every time we take an action on your case, and explain the entire process. Some lawyers hide what they do behind big lawyer words. We don’t.

4. Our clients matter
We don’t send you to court on your own for routine continuances like some lawyers do. That is what you paid us to do for you.

5. A great defense is always on the offensive
We keep track of every police officer in the state our clients come into contact with. We probably already have a database on the officer who gave you your reckless driving summons. We know the training and how they document their files to find defenses for you.

6. No hidden fees or secret prices
We believe everyone is entitled to the best price we can offer. Our prices for Connecticut reckless driving cases are public, published right on our site, and the same no matter who you are.
