60%
DUI and DWI 40%

DUI cases are a very unique and specialized type of criminal defense and in order to have a good defense in these matters it is important to have someone who litigates these matters frequently. I handle at least 100 DUI cases a year and I have won trials and reduced charges to allow clients to keep their licenses or avoid jail time. I also handle the administrative hearings involved in these cases at no additional cost.

If you get in trouble at the beach, your first call should be to Mike Abram.

While on the way to Delaware's beaches, I was pulled over by a Delaware State Police officer doing stationary radar along a lonely, dark highway. During the course of the traffic stop, they searched my vehicle, and found several illegal items. I was arrested and transported to the local station. ... Mr. Abram and his staff walked me through the entire process, and kept me informed on motions submitted on my behalf. When court day finally came 3 months later (this was my only required appearance), Mr. Abram was able to work out a deal where I plead guilty to only a minor traffic violation. He is an excellent attorney, and while I hope to never be in that situation again, I would strongly recommend Mr. Abram to anyone in need of criminal defense while vacationing in Lower Slower Delaware.

Excellent Council!

I was very impressed with Michael Abram's knowledge about the traffic code and his caring to handle my case very diligence to get the best results for me in my traffic citation. I was very happy with the outcome of my court appearance. I feel that the outcome would not have any better ending if he wa...s not my lawyer! Hands down I choose him a again if I ever need a lawyer again. Michael is the very best lawyer I have ever in my years driving! Outstanding lawyer! Chose him and the best results will happen with him as your lawyer. Thanks again Michael !!!!

Speeding and traffic ticket lawyer | Nov 11

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"One of my favorite clients received a major (by NC standards) speeding ticket in good oil' Greenwood DE. One lawyer who came highly recommended would not bother to return my calls referring my client to his office. Needless to say, he'll never receive future referrals. Mr. Abrams, however, is a gem. We spoke several times and after I explained how the case needed to be handled to prevent my NC client's loss of driving privileges, Michael did exactly what was needed. My client was pleased and I'm glad to know a great and friendly lawyer in (S)lower Delaware. Thanks, Mike!"
