Attorney Jay Ruane was admitted into practice in October 1998 and has become recognized nationally as Connecticut's premiere DUI Defense attorney. Attorney Ruane started his career as a public defender in Bridgeport, Connecticut, where he was assigned a complicated docket of 100's of pending DUI cases. As he developed his skills as a public defender, he realized that the complexity of these cases suited his nature and disposition. In early 2000, he joined his father, who was then a partner in the Bridgeport firm of Gaston & Ruane, to devote himself fulltime to the aggressive defense of drunk driving charges. The two opened Ruane Attorneys, a criminal defense law firm primarily working with DUI defense. Since then, Ruane Attorneys has grown to be the largest criminal defense firm in the state of Connecticut, thanks to Jay and his father's leadership, as well as the efforts of the associates, paralegals, and marketing team at the firm. Since beginning Ruane Attorneys, Attorney Jay has gone on to lecture law students, other attorneys, and judges on the intricacies of DUI defense. He devotes a minimum of 40 hours yearly to continuing DUI defense education, and in November 2001 completed the rigorous NHTSA Standardized Field Sobriety Testing course of study. He has also been certified as an operator and maintenance technician on the Intoxilyzer 5000. He has been recognized as an expert in DUI Defense, field testing and breath testing in both administrative hearings before the Connecticut DMV and in Habeas proceedings. His latest efforts in helping clients and colleagues has come in the form of several books that he has worked on and published in the past few years. He has argued or briefed many of the seminal DUI cases to Connecticut's Appeal's courts, including State v. Pjura, State v. Kelley, State v. Pilotti, and State v. Hood. Jay is the Connecticut State Delegate to the National College of DUI Defense, and members of several lawyer organizations, including the DUI Defense Lawyer's Association (DUIDLA) and the Connecticut Criminal Defense Lawyer's Association (CCDLA).
