About attorney Brittany paz

achieving positive outcomes for clients on hundreds of criminal cases

Hi, I'm Brittany Paz, and I'm a Connecticut criminal defense attorney passionate about protecting your rights. My goal is to make the process of hiring an attorney as easy as possible for you and to offer excellent, personalized service at competitive rates. I have extensive experience in both civil and criminal law, including defending people who have been charged with serious felonies in Connecticut courts. I have been named one of National Trial Lawyers “Top 40 Under 40” for criminal defense for 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021, and have been named by Super Lawyers Rising Stars in Criminal Defense for 2020, 2021, and 2022.

Why Choose Paz Law?

I know what it is like to be underestimated and unheard. I also understand the biting unfairness of the system. Whether it be aggressive legal tactics, strong and effective negotiation, or whether you just need help or to be heard, we can work together to achieve the best possible outcome for your case.

Fighting For fairness

Many people ask me why I would choose to be a criminal defense attorney. I suppose the answer has to do with one thing: fairness.

My mother always told me that as a child I had a preoccupation with fairness. I would always tell her that this or that was unfair. As much as she tried to teach me that the world was unfair, I never really accepted the concept. I always strove to force more fairness in my everyday life.

Now, I work as one of the few private female criminal defense attorneys in the state, attempting to bring some fairness to the system that often steamrolls hardworking, everyday people, as well as those with mental illness and addiction, and shackles them with lifelong collateral consequences.
