Best Attorney in New Britain Judicial - Hands Down!

Best damn lawyer I ever hired – hands down! He saved my life and my family’s. I was charged with several serious felonies, including Attempted Assault I on a police officer (“Attempted Murder”) and Risk of Injury to a Minor and was staring down the barrel of at least 5 years. I thought I was a gone...r. But I hired SouIsby and ended up walking out of HCCC after serving 6 months. If your case is in the New Britain Judicial District, THIS IS THE MAN TO HIRE. He’s a former New Britain Prosecutor and now a criminal defense attorney (thank God). He genuinely cared about what happened to me and told me from the beginning he would get me help for the issues that led to my arrest and not let them warehouse me in prison for years on end. He came to see me at least once before every court date and was always honest with me. He answered all of mine and my family’s questions. He’s an “old school” attorney and a man of his word, and if he tells you he can do something, he will get it done. He’s also President of the New Britain Bar Association which I suspect gives him a lot of clout in the courtroom. On behalf of me and my family, thank you Attorney Soulsby.

Stalker Restrained

Attorney Soulsby was there right form the start no questions asked. I was faced with going through the proceedings of a parole violation alone, the bad guy who was on AR and violated the terms of his release had his attorney. When the states attorney asked who was representing me a voice from the bac...k of the room said I AM and Peter stepped up and took control. Thank you Peter, thank you very very much
