Small, Local Law Firm. Powerhouse Representation

Traystman & Coric, LLC is a full-service law firm in New London, CT with over 100 years of combined litigation experience. We specialize in family law (including divorce, custody, support and restraining orders), personal injury (such as motor vehicle accidents and negligence claims), and criminal defense across state, federal, and tribal courts. Our team advocates for clients in complex legal matters with a blend of tenacity and compassion.

If you are facing legal issues such as separation, custody disputes, serious injuries from an accident, or criminal charges, consulting an attorney as soon as possible protects your rights and future. Legal professionals help clarify your options, advise you on procedures and deadlines, and create strategies tailored to your case. Delaying legal advice can sometimes compromise your ability to recover damages or defend your rights.

During your first consultation, an attorney will review your situation, ask detailed questions about your case, explain relevant laws, and discuss possible strategies. We also outline how our firm can help, the timeline you might expect, and the next steps. This initial meeting is designed to make you feel informed, supported, and confident about moving forward.

In Connecticut, personal injury claims arise when an individual is harmed due to someone else’s negligence. After an accident, you can seek compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages. Your attorney investigates the incident, gathers evidence, negotiates with insurers, and, if necessary, represents you in court to pursue full compensation.

Civil cases (like personal injury or family law disputes) involve private rights and typically seek monetary compensation or specific actions. Criminal cases (such as DUIs or assault) involve actions considered offenses against the state and can result in fines, probation, or incarceration. Traystman & Coric, LLC handles both types and provides skilled representation tailored to each legal framework.

Yes. Divorce and custody issues involve complex legal processes and emotionally charged decisions that affect your family’s future. A knowledgeable family law attorney helps protect your rights, negotiate settlements, advocate for child custody arrangements that serve your children’s best interests, and guide you through court procedures every step of the way.

If you’ve been arrested or charged, contacting a criminal defense attorney immediately is crucial. Charges ranging from misdemeanors to felonies have serious consequences, and early legal intervention helps preserve your rights, guide you through bail and court hearings, and build a strong defense strategy on your behalf.

The timeline depends on the type and complexity of your case. Some matters (like uncontested divorces or settlement negotiations) resolve relatively quickly, while contested trials—whether in criminal defense or personal injury—can take months or longer. During your consultation, your attorney estimates a timeline based on legal requirements, discovery needs, and courtroom scheduling.

 Absolutely. If you’ve been injured in a motor vehicle accident due to someone else’s negligence, we investigate the circumstances, help you document injuries and expenses, communicate with insurance companies, and pursue compensation. Our goal is to ease the burden of recovery so you can focus on your health and future.

Not always. Many legal matters settle through negotiation or mediation without going to trial—this is common in personal injury and family law cases. However, some situations do require court appearances. Your attorney prepares you for what to expect and represents you effectively whenever a courtroom is necessary.

Before your appointment, gather any relevant documentation—such as police reports, medical records, contracts, or correspondence—that relates to your legal matter. Take notes about key dates, events, and your questions. Being organized helps your attorney assess your case quickly and develop a strategy that aligns with your goals.
