Riley Law LLC

Riley Law, LLC is a criminal defense and personal injury firm headquartered in Bridgeport, Connecticut, with a second office in New Haven, serving clients throughout Bridgeport, Fairfield, and the broader Fairfield County and New Haven County region. The firm is led by Michael Riley, an experienced criminal defense and personal injury lawyer who began his legal career working inside the Connecticut Judicial Branch before starting his own practice in 2014. Built on a foundation of hard work and honesty, the firm has grown into a trusted name for people facing serious criminal charges or pursuing injury claims across the state.

Attorney Riley takes a strategic, creative, and trial-focused approach to every case he handles. He views legal advocacy as both a discipline and an art, a mindset that allows him to analyze cases from multiple angles, identify overlooked issues, and develop arguments tailored to the specific facts involved. Riley Law crafts defense strategies based on the individual client and the unique circumstances of each case, and the firm believes preparation creates leverage — prosecutors are more likely to take the defense seriously when they know the attorney on the other side is willing and prepared to present the case before a judge or jury. While no lawyer can guarantee a particular outcome, Michael Riley guarantees that he will approach every case with hard work and honesty.
