Wilmington DUI Attorney Fights The Charges
I have been a practicing attorney for more than 40 years focusing on the defense of criminal and traffic charges; I have handled hundreds of DUI cases and have the experience to achieve the best possible outcome in your case.
Being charged with a DUI can cause tremendous anxiety, especially if this is your first interaction with the legal justice system. I believe that with increased knowledge there is power and a lessening of fear. I make sure my clients understand the charges they are facing, how their case will progress, the defenses that I will pursue and the options available to them.
A DUI conviction has both legal and social consequences. A conviction stays on your record for life. It can be a serious, life altering event. It can impact your existing employment and prevent you from certain job opportunities.
Remember, a failed breath test does not mean that you are automatically guilty! There are many ways to win a DUI charge, even with a failed breath test. I will explain the best strategy for your case.
“I recently had Michael Modica represent me for a DUI. I’d never had any problems with the law ever, so this was a frightening experience for me. He got back to me immediately with any questions I had regarding the case. I felt totally at ease dealing with Michael, and I would highly recommend him to anyone out there in need of representation.” — LH
New Castle County DUI Defense Attorney
No matter how serious your charge — first offense or felony DUI — I can help.
If this is your first offense, Delaware has a DUI first-offender program that may be an appealing option — especially if you are an out-of-state driver. When facing a felony DUI charge you need a lawyer who knows how to fight the harsh penalties and mandatory jail sentences associated with this offense.
I also represent people who have been charged with driving under the influence of drugs — prescription or illegal — fight charges and keep their licenses. I have had success winning DUI cases based upon the failure of the police to comply with procedures applicable to the operation of sobriety checkpoints.
In Wilmington, people charged with driving under the influence come to me for an attorney who will fight their charge. Contact me, Wilmington driving under the influence attorney Michael W. Modica, today for a free initial consultation.
