Michael R Abram

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.

From the beginning of the process to the end, I was impressed by everything about Mike Abram: he is not only a very fine lawyer, but a highly intelligent, responsible person who is sensitive to your needs as a person. He knows the law inside out and is very clear about what you can expect. He do...esn't "overpromise," but he does build confidence that you will get the best result possible. My case was a first-time DUI, and the stakes were very high due to what I stood to lose personally and professionally. I was as alarmed and anxious as a person could get, given these circumstances, and I was convinced that I would wind up paying a severe penalty. A conviction, which would have come to my home state, would have led to a subtantial amount of required alcohol education sessions, a substantial fine, points on my license, severely restricted driving privileges, and a required interlock device. Instead of that, given the way Mike handled my case, I was able to plea to a lesser offense that involved points and a small fine. It was clear to me from observing Mike in action that he was highly regarded by the prosecutor and the judge. This sort of relationship does not apply to all lawyers. In addition, communication was excellent: Mike's administrative staff person, Dawn, was up on every detail and handled all of my calls and e-mails with great professionalism. In-state or out-of-state, for a DUI in Delaware, I would call Mike immediately and secure his services. Be sure to read other reviews, and you will see evidence of many other success stories.

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.
