An Andover traffic ticket is heard at Rockville Superior Court (GA19), and you want a lawyer who knows that courthouse and Connecticut traffic law โ not a generalist.
Andover sits in the hills of Tolland County, in the northeastern corner of Connecticut, a small town of roughly 3,600 people. It came together slowly. Families settled the area through the early 1700s, and by 1747 there were enough homesteads to support an ecclesiastical society of their own. Those society lines, drawn for a congregation, were the same lines used a century later when Andover was incorporated as a town in 1848, carved out of pieces of neighboring Hebron and Coventry. That long gap between settlement and incorporation tells you something about the place: it grew on its own terms, without rushing.
The town’s spine is U.S. Route 6, the old Hop River corridor, which functions as Andover’s main street. Historic homes and the town’s early municipal buildings still line it, so a drive along Route 6 doubles as a tour of how the town first organized itself. The corridor carries more than local history โ it was a waypoint on the 1781 march of the French general Rochambeau, whose army camped here on its way south to join Washington before the decisive victory at Yorktown. The Hop River itself threads through the same low ground that drew those early travelers.
Andover keeps a few distinctions that residents are quick to point out. The wooden covered bridge along Route 316 crosses over a roadway rather than water โ an unusual arrangement that locals note is hard to find anywhere else. Route 87 begins on the eastern side of town at its junction with Route 6 and runs southeast toward Columbia, giving Andover a second through-route that ties it to its neighbors. For a town this size, that handful of named roads carries a steady share of the area’s traffic.
Those same roads are where most Andover citations come from. Route 6 moves commuter and through traffic across town, and Route 87 and Route 316 each see their own enforcement. We follow these corridors and the patterns of stops and citations along them, which is where the violations that bring drivers to us usually begin.

Connecticut has two very different camera systems watching drivers. One mails you a $50 fine. The other, Flock, feeds police investigations. Here's how to tell them apart.
Read Article โYou are not required to hire one, but a traffic ticket can carry costs beyond the fine โ points, insurance consequences, and time. A lawyer who regularly handles Connecticut traffic matters can advise you on your options and, in many cases, appear on your behalf so you don't have to.
Continuances can buy time, but repeatedly pushing a case off rarely resolves anything on its own and can drag things out. It's usually better to have someone look at the specifics of your ticket and recommend an actual strategy.
Andover matters are handled at Rockville Superior Court (GA19), which serves Andover and the surrounding Tolland County towns.
In many traffic cases an attorney can appear at the Rockville court on your behalf, so you may not need to take time off to be there in person. We can review your specific ticket and explain what your appearance would involve.
Depending on the violation and your record, a conviction can add points to your Connecticut license and may affect your insurance. How serious that is depends on the specifics, which is why it helps to review the ticket before deciding how to handle it.
