Criminal Arrests and Traffic Arrests (DUI Law) Lawyer - Wilmington DE
A Winning Attitude and a Rapid Response Time are Crucial
It is amazing how many criminal defendants or ticketed motorists who interview with me seem discouraged and beaten down. Many seem convinced that they are guilty and they will lose. Typically a criminal suspect or arrestee has been humiliated by the arrest process. He or she is understandably frightened.
If you were arrested for a felony or misdemeanor, or any sort of traffic offense, it is important to consult an experienced lawyer as soon as possible. Talk to me. The chances are good I can help.
It won't cost anything to talk to an experienced criminal defense or Delaware DUI defense attorney, and you may realize your case can be won. Considering the harsh penalties involved, a thorough and aggressive defense may enable you to enjoy your life. So do not be discouraged! You can do it! Please take the time to view my Attorney Profile page above. Winning - like excellence - is a process that does not occur randomly.
A felony charge can devastate a person's life. Even smaller misdemeanors have serious penalties and must be fought tenanciously. DUI and traffic ticket penalties can also be both severe and expensive. A DUI conviction may cause you to lose your driver's license, go to jail, have a permanent criminal driving record, etc. ... the penalties go on and on. Indeed, each year it seems the harshness of criminal and traffic penalties increases. Remember too that more routine traffic tickets now form the basis for a variety of license suspensions.
The Delaware state government gets the revenue from the criminal fines; the insurance company can up your premium — and you can get the shaft! Like our national government, the State of Delaware now runs a huge budget deficit and is it probably very broke. Being government people, the Delaware legislature naturally looks to the Court system as a way of bringing in revenues. Do not think for a minute this is not true.
Therefore, you need to be pro-active about your life and about your arrest. You need to be pro-active!
Without transportation you may lose your job, your marriage, and your relationship with friends and loved ones. Serious penalties deserve a serious defense. Contact my office in Wilmington today for a free consultation.
Taking Immediate Action is Vitally Important
Here is a another tip: A client's rapid response time is critical. After you are arrested, you must rapidly seek legal counsel. The events and related trauma of a Criminal Charge or DUI arrest can get blurry and confusing over time. People understandably want to forget a bad experience. It is very important to get in to see me quickly, where I will work with you and record the events of the arrest so they are preserved for a trial. The police make a report of their arrest at the time of the arrest. Therefore, we need to develop our own CASE HISTORY as quickly as possible.
A Winning Attitude Can Make All the Difference
Having a competitive attitude is the first step to a successful defense of the case. It must be developed from the "get go." You must "think positive." I say it again: you must be pro-active.
I believe a case is not merely won or lost; rather, it is built slowly and steadily from the ground up, from the initial interview, with the client's full participation. I believe it is funny what you can learn from your clients if you merely take the time to listen to them.
