What are the keys to unlocking a good result in a Wilmington, Delaware DUI case?

The keys to a winning defense in a Wilmington, DE DUI case are the following:

First, you must select a Wilmington dui attorney who has a lot of knowledge and experience defending these types of cases. This is NOT an area of the law to dabble in. In other words, it would be unwise to hire an attorney who doesn’t make DUI defense the main focus of his or her practice. That attorney is unlikely to be able to obtain the knowledge of police procedures and DUI protocol that is needed to recognize when the police made mistakes.

Police mistakes = violated rights = evidence suppressed or excluded = success in DUI cases.

The second key to success in a DUI case is finding a lawyer who is passionate about defending you. When you speak to our DUI team, you will feel their passion for the law and for winning DUI prosecutions.

The third key to success is taking a global approach to the defense of the case. DUI arrests are more often the result of our client not being grounded at the time. Maybe you are having trouble in your marriage. Maybe you have had a death in the family.

Maybe you have just lost your job. We find that oftentimes, the DUI arrest is the symptom of other problems, and acknowledging the situation and asking help – help from our Wilmington, DE DUI team, help from professional counselors, help from family and friends – is part of starting down a path to a brighter tomorrow.

So, if you have been arrested for DUI in the greater Wilmington, Delaware area, please contact us for a free consultation today.
