Manslaughter Attorney In Middlebury, Connecticut

What Is Manslaughter?

Under Connecticut law, manslaughter refers to the unlawful killing of another person without lawful justification — such as self-defense — and without premeditated intent. It’s one of the most serious criminal charges a person can face and can carry decades in prison if convicted.


There are two primary types of manslaughter:

  • Voluntary manslaughter, which typically occurs in the heat of passion following a confrontation or emotional provocation.
  • Involuntary manslaughter, which involves a death caused by reckless or negligent actions — often during another unlawful act or while engaging in behavior that creates an extreme risk to others.


These cases are complex and require a careful, fact-driven defense. At Minnella & Tramuta, LLC, our attorneys have successfully defended clients throughout Connecticut facing manslaughter and other serious felony charges. We thoroughly investigate every detail of the case — examining the evidence, witness statements, and law enforcement actions — to build a strong and strategic defense designed to protect your rights and your future.

What Penalties Might I Face?

In Connecticut, manslaughter is a felony offense with severe penalties. A conviction can result in years — and in some cases, decades — of imprisonment, along with substantial fines and a permanent criminal record. While probation may be possible in certain cases, the courts and juries often impose prison sentences due to the tragic nature of a loss of life.


Because the stakes are so high, it’s critical to have an experienced and dedicated defense team on your side. At Minnella & Tramuta, LLC, our attorneys understand how to approach these cases with care, attention, and determination. We investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident, examine how evidence was collected, and challenge the prosecution’s version of events to protect your rights and build the strongest defense possible.


Our goal is always to secure the best outcome for our clients — whether that means reducing the charges, minimizing penalties, or achieving an acquittal. When facing such serious allegations, you need a legal team that will stand by you and fight for your future. Contact Minnella & Tramuta, LLC today to schedule a confidential consultation and let us begin defending your case.
