Criminal Defense Overview

The Dover, Delaware, Criminal Defense Lawyer You Can Trust

If you have been charged with DUI or any other criminal offense in Kent County or Sussex County, Delaware, you may already be experiencing the anxiety, worry and fear about your future that the prosecutors want you to feel. Isn't it a relief to know that somebody is ready to stand up and fight to protect your rights and your future?

Foreign language interpreters are available

Free initial consultation about your criminal defense case

I am criminal defense attorney John Garey. I opened the Law Office of John R. Garey on The Green in historic downtown Dover, Delaware, after being a prosecutor for the Department of Justice in Kent and Sussex counties for more than 15 years.

My experience as a prosecutor gives your case an edge, not only because of my legal knowledge of the criminal justice system, but also because of how I prepare and argue your case to help you get the best possible outcome in your criminal defense matter.

Good defense starts by avoiding preconceived notions about people. People charged with a crime are typically good people who have made a bad mistake. I fight to protect the rights and futures of good people with good families and good jobs.

I know what prosecutors and judges know about criminal charges in adult courts as well as the juvenile court system. Nearly everyone who is charged with a crime has a lot more at stake than just paying a fine or doing some community service. Contact my office for a free criminal defense consultation right away.
