Our criminal defense practice represents the rights and best interests of people charged with offenses throughout southern Delaware. As a popular East Coast vacation destination, the Delaware beaches are a hotbed for police activity. Any place where the police and prosecutors concentrate their resources will always yield increased and far-reaching criminal charges.
Decades of Proven Defense
At Stumpf, Vickers & Sandy P.A., we understand this principle and how to defeat or at least minimize trumped-up criminal charges. Our attorneys, partners John Sandy and Vincent Vickers, are former Sussex County prosecutors. Practicing exclusively in the criminal law field since the 1970s, Mr. Sandy and Mr. Vickers founded a criminal defense practice together in 1983. Their substantial experience as defendants' attorneys and former prosecutors allows our law firm to thoroughly evaluate a wide range of criminal cases from several perspectives.
Every case and client has unique needs, but if you have been charged in Sussex County, we have resolved a similar case before. We have handled thousands of criminal cases during more than 60 years of combined criminal law experience.
