The consequences of a DUI charge are not just a slap on the wrist or something to take lightly. Each year, Delaware lawmakers propose amendments to the law that make penalties more severe for offenders. Drunk driving laws, which also incorporate driving under the influence of illicit drugs, are a frequent target. A DUI charge (also known as driving while intoxicated) is the most troublesome and consequential criminal charge that most people will encounter in their lifetime.

Quick legal defense action from our Georgetown legal team, whether following a sobriety checkpoint roadblock, an underage drinking charge or another DUI arrest, can have a significant impact on minimizing the costs and other consequences of your case.

Delaware DUI/DWI Defense Lawyers Handling All Aspects of Your Case
Whether you are a Delaware resident or from out of state, our thorough and aggressive defense should be on your side. As former prosecutors in Sussex County and working together as a criminal defense team since 1983, our lawyers provide you with decades of experience and skills throughout your case. From the DMV hearing and throughout the criminal process, we focus on reducing fines and penalties, protecting your driver's license and protecting your freedoms.
Protecting Your Driving Privileges
Contact us to discuss the implications of a DUI charge on your driver's license. Our counsel through a DMV hearing may be influential in retaining your license that is under threat of suspension or revocation. If you have a commercial driver's license (CDL) or a pilot's license and you are arrested for DUI, there is great potential for losing your license for a minimum of one year, even if you have received a work permit or conditional license. All DUI offenders may still lose their licenses, even under the Delaware First Offenders Program.
Informed Defense
It is crucial to consult with an attorney who handles DUI cases in Delaware everyday to consider all your options fully. There is no need to put your livelihood and your rights at further risk. Penalties, including mandatory minimum sentences, fines, sentence enhancements and loss of driving privileges are in a constant state of change.
Strict consequences, including license revocation, also apply to "Baby DUI" charges. Delaware law enforcement enforces a zero tolerance law on drivers under the age of 21. Our informed defense will allow you to make informed decisions regarding your case and reduce costly impacts on your freedoms, privileges and insurance.
