As an attorney, I understand your unique needs and circumstances. Your situation is different from everyone else's, which we take time to carefully evaluate. The Law Office of Douglas D. Rudolph is built on the principle that you or your loved one are not just defendants. You are people. And those who choose me to fight for them are not just my clients.
They are individuals with unique stories, who have responsibilities, and have people who care about them. And, yes, have flaws - just like us all. As Americans, many of us tend to think that those things are automatic in our legal system. But sadly, that is not the case. You need someone in your corner.

In my years working in the criminal justice system, I have seen how stress, fear, and uncertainty can impact the lives of people without effective legal defense. Because of this, I believe that everyone has the right to the best possible representation. Remember - just because you have been charged with a crime does not mean you will be stripped of your right to a fair trial and quality legal representation.
I became an attorney because defending against the criminal justice system is not a solo journey. I observed the criminal justice system impact my family, and communities in which I worked. Standing up tall and proud against the criminal justice system requires an understanding and dedication to each and every client.
Determined to protect its reputation for low rates of crime, Connecticut courts are notoriously tough on criminal offenses of all kinds. Regardless of the nature of the crime you have been charged with or are under investigation for, any type of criminal offense in Connecticut should never be taken lightly.
The Connecticut criminal justice system may classify virtually any criminal act involving injury through the use of violence, force, or a deadly weapon as assault. As state law enforcement struggles to bring violent crime rates down across the area, courts are handing out tough penalties to those convicted with any kind of assault crime.
Over the last few years, our state has seen a dramatic drop in burglary, residential burglary, and other property crimes. In fact, although they were once on par with national rates, property crime rates in Connecticut have fallen to well below the national level during the last few decades. So why are law enforcement officials in New Haven and across Connecticut still going after these types of crimes with a vengeance?

When I first encountered the big challenge, it was really hard, but I was comforted and empowered after meeting my lawyer Doug, and he is professional and he did his best in the family's heart for nearly a year. Doug! Thank you very much for your sincere help.

Doug Rudolph is amazing! He really helped my mother and my family through a really rough time we were having. He treated my mom like a person, not just as a client. He really took his time to get to know us and to understand what had happened. Doug is the best! I would recommend him to anyone who needs assistance. Truly, truly personable! Thank you, thank you again.

Truthfully I didn’t trust defense attorneys before I had to call one, and hired Douglas Rudolph!! He has kept me positive and I’m not so afraid of the outcomes like I was before hiring him. There hasn’t literally been one time that I’ve texted him or left a voicemail, that within the hour I will hear from him!! I absolutely did NOT know him before I hired him, but I’m very thankful that I did!!!
Also, Super affordable and he completely understands that price for most people is the reason people don’t and can’t hire an attorney.

If I had any questions, I could always get a hold of Attorney Doug. Overall a highly satisfied experience. I would recommend anyone who needs a Criminal Defense attorney to contact Attorney Doug Rudolph.

The best attorney anyone could ever ask for. Very personable with his clients and very professional in and out of the court room when handling any criminal matters. Douglas Rudolph saved me from going to jail through his expertise, loopholes, knowledge of other attorneys and states attorneys maneuvers to gain an advantage on your behalf! With 2 prior duis in another state, I was in need of an attorney when I was in my car under the influence, bot driving, no keys in ignition but a police had "witnessed" me move my car. I was going through alot of abuse and hell with my boyfriend at the time and

After a couple of years and recovery, one day the past came knocking at my door with a warrant for my arrest. I posted bond and immediately started looking for lawyers. On my third try I found Doug. (First try ended up just wasting time & second try wanted a ridiculous amount of money) I left his office that day feeling so much better. He was extremely reasonable and not only ended up getting everything I hoped for, but went above and beyond. One example is my case ended up taking place during the covid-19 pandemic and because of that we ended up going months and months with no answers, going from

For three years I was full of stress and fatigue. Felt like my back was against the wall, me against the world. Like I was powerless to my circumstance. Mr. Rudolph has been extremely efficient in helping me and ensuring I couldn't continue my day to day with so much on the line at being lost. Since day 1 meeting him he has tried his best to comfort and consult. Being my first serious offense he eased me through the process with the one of the best possible outcomes. Considerate, helpful, I'm very thankful!
