I really don't know where to begin, but lets start with AMAZING. Ken Crehan made me feel like my case was his only one. Ken gives you the feeling that he has your back no matter how big or how small your issue is. He was helpful and informative and very supportive. I would recommend Ken to any indivi...dual. He truly is passionate about his career and the greatest thing about this review is that he did this "job" pro-bono. Ken represented me with no questions asked. His legal services are above par in every aspect and you can instantly see his drive, determination and dedication to his clients, cases and his city.

Posted by Ellie | November 09, 2015 | Hired Attorney | Drug Crime

Mr. Crehan is an experienced and reliable attourney, I will recommend him to anyone

I was charged with drug abuse or drug possession for really small amount of marijauna; and the consequences, which include a license suspension, suspension of student loans/grants, and an unappealing record to employers or schools, are quite serious. I am in college so those penalties would have done... a lot of damage for such a small crime. I was referred to Mr. Crehan by a friend who had personal experience hiring this attorney for a similar charge. When I contacted him I was overwhelmed and confused about the charge and how things would when I went to court. He explained everything and made sense of it all. Long story short, he got my charge amended to a disorderly conduct and all I had to do was pay a fine and court fees. Kenneth is truly passionate about his job and with helping his clients. He is a trustworthy and experienced attorney. I will recommend him to anyone in need of an attorney from now on.

Amazing!!

I reached out to Ken Crehan at CT law when I was charged with an OVI. I refused instead of taking a breath test. He got my OVI charge dropped to a lower offense & He kept me in the loop while giving me peace of mind through it all. He did his best to get most of my court/BMV fees dropped as well! I'm... so incredibly glad I reached out to Ken Crehan & his associate at CT Law. I would recommend him to anyone in need of a DUI/OVI Lawyer.

State v MRM

Ken did great work on behalf of my son, MRM, who was charged with OVI. He convinced the prosecutor to reduce the OVI charge despite the fact that my son refused to take a blood-alcohol test and had an accident. He also convinced the judge, who is very tough on these tye cases, to also agree to the ...reduced charge. He kept us informed throughout the entire process and explained everything to us in layman's terms--very important because neither my wife nor I had any experience with the legal system. I would highly recommend Ken.
