About Teresa
Biography
Attorney Teresa DiNardi has been practicing law since 2006 and has proven herself as a passionate, assertive, and knowledgeable attorney. Over the years, she has earned a reputation as “Lady DUI” and concentrates in DMV hearings and DUI defense. She manages the Wethersfield office of Ruane Attorneys, so chances are that if you visit that office for a free consultation or a meeting, you will run into her. Of course, to be able to run a whole office, you have to be pretty organized. Lucky for us, this is one of Teresa’s strong suits (otherwise, the office might fall apart, which would probably be a bad thing). When she isn’t redefining the way that female attorneys are viewed in this state, she enjoys relaxing at the beach.

Very informative throughout the whole process
Teresa was great from the first consultation with continued communication and advice throughout the entire process.

Teresa Marie Dinardi's Lawyer Endorsements
"I have worked as opposing counsel with Attorney Dinardi. She is very knowledgeable about this area of the law, and uses that knowledge to defend her clients effectively. She is not afraid to go to trial if necessary."
"I am the current president of the Connecticut Criminal Defense Lawyers Association and I definitely endorse Attorney Dinardi for their work defending people charged with criminal offenses in Connecticut. Attorney Dinardi is a tireless fighter for the accused and zealously defends her clients. If you are seeking an attorney for help with a criminal case, you have found a good one in Attorney Dinardi."
"My firm does not practice DUI/DWI Defense, and we take referral relationships very seriously. When current or potential clients call with needs in this practice area, we know we can confidently send them to Attorney DiNardi. She always picks up the phone, she is incredibly competent and thorough, and she treats the clients we refer as well as we treat the clients we keep. There is no DUI/DWI attorney we trust more."
"We often refer potential clients to Atty. Dinardi, and they have been ardent in their praise of her. She is devoted to her clients and is a leader in her practice area. Atty. DInardi also devotes time and considerable enthusiasm and insight to the betterment of the profession. By way of one example, I have been thrilled to serve with her for the past two years on the Executive Committee of the Connecticut Bar Association's LGBT section. I enthusiastically endorse Atty. Dinardi."
