Welcome
Please call Wilmington, Delaware, criminal defense lawyer Richard Zemble at 302•377•4471
I am an experienced attorney who has prosecuted and defended cases successfully. After spending over five years at the Delaware Attorney General’s Office prosecuting cases, several years ago I took up the defense of people who have been charged with crimes in Delaware. I will defend people with charges ranging from traffic offenses and DUI to serious felonies. Because I have been both a prosecutor and defense attorney, I understand how to obtain the best possible resolution for you.
I have extensive experience in all the courts of Delaware in all three counties - New Castle, Kent and Sussex. Whether it is Family Court, Justice of the Peace Court, Alderman’s Court, the Court of Common Pleas or Superior Court, I will be there to defend you and fight for your rights. If you are charged with a traffic offense, violation, misdemeanor or felony, I will be committed to helping you with competent representation and a supportive environment. I understand how important it is to treat a client with the utmost respect and I guarantee to keep you informed at every step in your case. If you leave a message with my office, I will return your call within 24 hours.
If you entrust me to represent you, you will not be disappointed. I will represent you zealously and with integrity.

When an individual is taken into custody or otherwise deprived of his freedom by the authorities and is subjected to questioning...he must be warned prior to any questioning that he has the right to remain silent, that anything he says can be used against him in a court of law, that he has a right to the presence of an attorney...
Chief Supreme Court Justice Earl Warren, Miranda v. Arizona, 384 U.S. 436 [1965]

DUI laws in Delaware are about to get tougher. These changes increase the time that a DUI charge will make the punishment more severe. For example, a second offense will be counted toward 2 DUIs if there is a charge over a period of 10 years rather than over a period of 5 years. If you get 3 DUI convictions in your lifetime, the 3rd conviction will be considered a felony (rather than 4 DUIs in a lifetime being considered a felony). There are many other examples of the toughening of the laws in Delaware. It is more important than ever to hire an attorney to protect your rights! |
