If you’re an attorney who wants to defend the rights of individuals in the excitement of a courtroom setting, this may be the firm for you. If you enjoy working inside a criminal courtroom but do not want to work with or defend criminals, then working with Tom Anelli & Associates may interest you.

At Tom Anelli & Associates, we represent good people charged criminally (with DWIs). Some of the clients we help have substance issues and in those cases, we use their hard work in handling their substance dependency issues to get them better results. For those who have made a mistake, we help to ensure they get the best possible offer without allowing their charge to derail their otherwise successful lives.

Our work is redeeming good work, done for good people who have made an error in judgment or who struggle with substance dependency. In either event, we help them by coming beside them at a very difficult time in their lives and helping them find their way in a criminal justice system that can chew up and spit out those who are unfamiliar and not properly represented. So, suppose you’d like to work within the excitement of the criminal courthouse system in an area of the law filled with exciting science (forensic toxicology, pharmacology, and accident reconstruction). In that case, this may be the job for you.

Working with us, you will learn how to act fast and come to the service of those you represent in an area of the law where we focus and have gained decades of experience, which will be shared with you to assist your clients better.

At Tom Anelli & Associates, we see the good in our clients and work as a team to do everything we can to help them get the best possible results under the unique circumstances of their case.
