Delaware Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol (DUI)

There are more and more DUI (Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol) Roadblocks popping up in Delaware, and because the legal limit is .08, it doesn’t take much to get over that threshold.  If you are going to drink, make sure not to drive because you don’t even have to break any other traffic laws at a Roadblock to get charged with a DUI.

First time Offenders (Misdemeanors) in Court of Common Pleas, Superior Court, Family Court and Justice of the Peace Courts

There are all types of programs for first time offenders in Delaware:  (1) Probation Before Judgment in CCP, Superior Court, Family Court or JP Courts; (2) Arbitration, School Diversion and Probation Before Adjudication of Delinquency for juveniles in Family Court; and (3) First Offenders Program for Domestic Violence in Family Court for Adults.  The good thing about all of these is that if properly completed, then any charges that are resolved by the above programs can be expunged off your record after completing any court conditions.

Traffic offenses, plea negotiations, points

When given traffic tickets, you should not just decide to pay them and not worry about going to court. Points can pile up quickly and you can avoid receiving any points by going to court and negotiating with the prosecutor.

Driving Under the Influence of Drugs or Alcohol (DUI / DWI)

DUI laws in Delaware are about to get tougher. A couple of changes are that a second offense will be 2 DUI offenses in 10 years (instead of 2 DUI offenses in 5 years) and 3 DUIs in a lifetime will be considered a felony (instead of 4 DUIs in a lifetime). These are just two examples. it is more important now than ever to hire an attorney to protect your rights!
