I handle all criminal defense matters and have gone to trial and successfully litigated cases from Rape to traffic offenses.

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.

Peace of Mind

The grief and stress of what my family was going through was made worse by not understanding the system we were caught up in. Mike answered a call New Years Eve and was engaged in helping provide information about what to expect which gave us peace of mind. He took the time to make sure we understood... what was going on and what to expect. There was no other choice for an attorney for us! I beyond appreciate all the time he takes to make sure that we, as a family, understand the system and are prepared.

Omniscient!

Mr. Abram has helped me in various situations. I will not discuss the nature of my experiences, but Mr. Abram is superior in the Delaware courts. If courthouses had stained glass? You'd probably see his image in those windows! He's that brilliant! Thank you Mike, for all that you do!

Great lawyer

I am an attorney licensed in Pennsylvania with thirty years experience, but I needed a lawyer to help me out with a dispute I had in Delaware. I hired Mike and he solved my problem with complete professionalism, and managed to get me an excellent result. Mike understands what matters to clients an...d is responsive to their needs. He is a credit to the profession.

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.

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!"
