If you or a family member have been arrested for DUI in Delaware, you need to know that the law allows only fifteen (15) days to request a hearing with the Division of Motor Vehicles. You must contact your attorney as soon as possible if you have been accused of DWI or DUI. Otherwise, your license will be automatically suspended following a Delaware DUI arrest.
Your license can be revoked for up to 12 months with your first offense. You need an experienced DUI lawyer like Joe Hurley at your side.

First Offense? In Delaware, a judge or administrator can review an offender's record through his or her entire lifetime. This means that you may have had a DUI from many years ago, even in another state, you may not qaulify for First Offender status, and you van be exposed to more severe penalties.

"Sometimes known as Driving Under the Influence or Driving While Intoxicated, the largest area of practice with regard to motor vehical offenses is in the area of alcohol-related driving offenses. I have been representing, as a criminal defense lawyer in Delaware, persons charged with Driving Under the Infuence of Alcohol since I became a private attorney in 1976."

Over the years, I have represented thousands of such persons. Law enforcement has focused on arresting those who drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs. My reprensentation, as a criminal defense lawyer for alcohol and drug-related motor vehical offenses, includes:

Reckless Driving
Alcohol-related Vehicular Assualt
Criminally Negligent Homicide
Vehicular Homicide
Manslaughter and even
Murder
Suspended Liscense

I have the second largest practice in the area of Driving Under the Influence (DUI) in the state of Delaware. I estimate it represents approximately 20 percent of my practice"
