Delaware Misdemeanor Charges Defense Lawyer
Standing Up For Those Charged with Misdemeanors in Delaware
Though a misdemeanor criminal charge may carry a lesser punishment than a felony charge, it needs to be taken just as seriously. Any involvement in the criminal justice system should be taken seriously and issues handled with the help of an experienced criminal defense lawyer.
Throughout my years of practice in Delaware, I have provided my clients with aggressive and tailored criminal defense representation. I am a dedicated advocate who cares about my clients and their futures. It is important to me that we protect your life, family and future by taking immediate action in a misdemeanor or other criminal case. Contact my office to learn more about how I handle misdemeanor cases.
Do not be fooled into thinking that the term "misdemeanor" is the same as "minor." Though the charges may be less serious than a felony charge, any type of criminal conviction may stay on your criminal record permanently.
There are numerous types and degrees of misdemeanor charges in the Delaware Criminal Code book. Some of the misdemeanors that I commonly handle include:
- Drunk driving (certain levels may be a misdemeanor)
- Resisting arrest
- Disorderly conduct
- Shoplifting
- Harassment
- Vandalism
- Theft
- Assault
- Drug possession
- Underage alcohol consumption (and other juvenile offenses)
- Trespassing
- Criminal mischief
- Traffic violations
It may be possible for us to avoid court on a misdemeanor charge. This can often be beneficial to clients who wish to have the matter taken care of as quickly as possible. I am a skilled negotiator and have an abundance of experience negotiating plea agreements with prosecutors. However, if a client wishes to fight their misdemeanor charge to the fullest extent of the law, I utilize my trial experience to zealously argue their case in front of a judge and jury.
You do not have to just take the consequences of a misdemeanor charge. Fight it with my help. Together we can stand up for your rights and see that justice is served.
