Westbrook's beaches and outlet shopping draw steady visitor traffic off I-95, so many cited here are out-of-towners — with tickets heard at Middletown Superior Court (GA9).
Westbrook is a classic Connecticut shoreline town in southern Middlesex County, set on Long Island Sound between the Menunketesuck and Patchogue Rivers. It began as part of the Saybrook Colony, and for nearly two centuries it was known as Pochaug — the 1648 settlement here was called the Oyster River Quarter — before taking the name Westbrook and incorporating as its own town in 1840. The sea and the rivers shaped its life from the start, supporting fishing, shipbuilding, and coastal trade.
For a small town, Westbrook claims a giant of invention. David Bushnell, born here in the eighteenth century, designed and built the Turtle, the world’s first submarine, which made a daring attempt against a British warship in New York Harbor during the Revolution. That pioneering spirit is a point of local pride in a town otherwise known for its quiet shore. Westbrook’s coastline includes salt marshes, three uninhabited islands offshore, and the Salt Meadow Unit of the Stewart B. McKinney National Wildlife Refuge — prime habitat that draws birdwatchers to the marshes and the Sound.
Today Westbrook balances that natural beauty with a steady tourist trade. Its beaches and harbor fill in summer, and the Westbrook Outlets, a popular outlet shopping center just off the interstate, draw shoppers from across the region year-round. The result is a town whose population and traffic swell well beyond its year-round size whenever the weather is fine or the bargains beckon.
All of those visitors arrive on the same roads. Interstate 95 crosses the town with the exit that feeds the outlets and the beaches, paralleled by the Post Road, U.S. Route 1, with Routes 153 and 145 carrying local traffic. Because so many of the drivers cited here are shoppers and beachgoers unfamiliar with the area, enforcement on these roads is steady, especially in season. We follow these corridors and the equipment used along them, which is generally where the violations described below begin.

People often ask him how he can defend those accused of breaking the law. His answer is simple: he's not defending the offense, he's defending a right.

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 →You're not required to hire one, but a ticket can carry more than a fine — points on your license and a possible insurance increase. An attorney who handles Connecticut traffic matters can review your options and frequently appear for you so you don't have to take time off, whether you live in Westbrook or were just visiting.
Continuances buy time but don't resolve anything on their own. Pushing the case off again and again usually just stretches it out. It's generally better to have the ticket reviewed and a real strategy chosen.
Westbrook is served by Middletown Superior Court (GA9), the geographical-area courthouse that handles motor-vehicle matters for the town and the surrounding lower-valley and shoreline communities.
For many traffic matters an attorney can appear at the Middletown courthouse on your behalf, so you may not need to attend yourself — useful if you don't live nearby. We can review your 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; out-of-state drivers may see it reported to their home state. How serious that is depends on the specifics, which is why it helps to review the ticket first.
