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.

Outstanding Law & Legal Expertise, Compassionate & Highly Recommended

We discussed our case w several top attorney's in Georgetown, then met Mike and Chris. They offered 1-Hour Free consultation, some attorneys charged a fee. From the beginning, Mike clearly identified the situation, possible solutions, results and outcomes and as our case evolved, it became even wor...se from legal standpoint and what stood out was that he had a couple solutions for us to work to enhance and increase the odds for a good outcome for our case, unlike many top attorneys we consulted with, whom were more interested in getting paid and how much they charge and bragging about the number of cases they had..., Mike and Chris were very professional, no over promises and explained options and potential outcomes and recommendations on things we could do and/or control. We followed what Mike recommended while waiting for case review and hearings and the outcome worked out as planned. What was clear and impressive was how Mike was able to explain the process, what we would expect and have to deal with and why. When we finally went to court, it was like clockwork, how he managed the case, interfaced with the judges and prosecutors, was very clear they had a deep respect and long history with him, his work, representation, honestly and integrity. We were able to observe him work a few cases before ours on the day of our court date and similarly, represented his other clients the same way. Two thumbs up, and highly recommended! Finally, when you are in legal troubles, its not easy to find a good attorney or know if they are a good choice for your case when interviewing them.... but recommend to go with your gut feeling, we did after at least interviewing 6 other attorneys. Again, during our first consultation which was a face to face meeting with Mike and Chris, was crucial and both of our gut's told us this was the attorney to go with and we did. Thank God we ended up with the best possible outcome for our case. Also, Dawn, the attorney assistant or office manager, was also outstanding, compassionate, understanding and always helpful and responsive to our calls or needs. Two thumbs up and 5 out of 5-stars is the rating. Their fees were also in line or lower than the others and hands down well worth the money!

Satisfied

Michael Abram represented me in a domestic violence incident. The charges were reduced for several reasons one of which was Mr Abram did his job very well as my attorney. He took the time to understand my side of the story and influenced the state attorney accordingly for a positive outcome on my b...ehalf.

My go to guy

We unfortunately have had to hire Mr. Abrams a few times for my son. I was hesitant scared and needed to move quickly. I called him and im glad I did. He was really straight up with me. If he thinks he can help you you'll tell you... if he thinks he can't help you he will tell you that too. He did wh...at he said he could do for my child and has definitely proven himself as a great lawyer. Years ago I myself have been on the other side of the criminal justice system. I spent time in jail because I didn't have an attorney like Mr. Abrams . I know now that your life and facing time is not something that you just gamble with you need someone to stand up for you. I highly recommend this Lawyer.

Michael Abram was a lifesaver!!

Mr. Abram was an extremely smart, professional and caring attorney for me during a time of great consternation due to someone trying to have me convicted for something that was just a scam on their part. They fought hard, but Mike was a much better fighter, who got my case dismissed before going... to trial! Thank you again, Mike, for your hard work and kindness. I will always recommend you to anyone in need of a great criminal attorney.

Outstanding Attorney!

Mike was referred to us by a good friend. We are part time Delaware residents and were falsely charged with a crime that did not exist nor did it occur. This remained to be a serious matter which could jeopardize my partner and I both professionally. Further this incident resulted in incarceration wh...ich was severely traumatizing for both of us. Mike was knowledgeable, kind and straightforward. His staff remain responsive and very helpful. It was evident that he remains respected by the courts given the manner in which he was received and could openly discuss and negotiate pertinent issues. Both of our cases were swiftly dismissed which remains a relief. Through the process he was confident in his reassurance to us that no crime had been committed and explained the best and worst case scenario as well as process and procedure which alleviated significant associated trauma and anxiety related to this situation. We remain grateful to Mike and his staff for his professionalism and knowledge of the law in conjunction with a commitment to justice with regard to the service he provides to his consumers.

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!"
