DWI

Have you been charged with a DWI? Delaware acknowledges someone is driving while intoxicated when they have a blood-alcohol level of .08 or higher. Speaking with an attorney will help you understand your rights and examine the facts of the case that may rectify the situation. More

Drugs

In Delaware, individuals who have been arrested and charged with drug offenses have a rather complicated statutory scheme that they have to look at to determine the potential penalties. The state has completely revamped the Office of Medical Examiner, the office that tests drugs, meaning the state is constantly reexamining drug laws and adjusting punishments. More

Domestic Violence

If you have been issued a domestic violence charge, you probably have a lot of questions about your rights as the accused. Delaware has drafted legislation that immediately protects the victim. In relation to domestic violence, most states take a stance of “better safe than sorry”, which cannot duly protect the rights of both the accuser and the accused. We understand that domestic violence is a serious issue that destroys lives. More

Courts more vigorously prosecute cases of a sexual content than most other crimes. More

The owner of a firearm does not need a license to own a firearm. Background checks are mandatory for any purchase from a licensed retailer. More
