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. Since 2003, I have put my experience on the side of people who have suddenly found themselves buried in a DUI or other criminal charge. My experience as a former 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.
Good defense starts with no preconceived notions about people.
It really is this simple. 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. Most people charged with a crime are good citizens with reputations, families and futures to protect, folks who have suddenly found themselves entangled in a legal system that makes no sense to them. Their entire lives and the lives of their family members are disrupted. Nearly everyone who is charged with a crime has a lot more at stake than just paying a fine or doing some community service.
