HeadshotAttorney Karpe has multi-jurisdictional and multi-faceted experience for effectively representing clients in estate planning, elder law, probate, personal injury, workers’ compensation, professional liability, family law and criminal defense cases.

With regard to estate planning and elder law, Attorney Karpe furthered his education and knowledge by obtaining his Master of Laws degree (LL.M.).

Upon admission to the Connecticut bar, Attorney Karpe represented clients in cases such as personal injury, workers’ compensation, real estate and criminal defense. He has also held several special public defender contracts in which he successfully defended clients charged with very serious felonies including murder, assault, kidnapping, rioting in a correctional facility and sexual abuse.
