Free initial consultation about your drunk driving defense case

I am attorney John Garey. While serving as a former prosecutor for 15 years in the Office of the District Attorney for Kent County, Delaware, I prosecuted hundreds of DUI cases. My experience with criminal law has taught me that many good, hardworking and honest people make the simple mistake of drinking too much and trying to drive. Most people charged with DUI have never been in legal trouble before and think they can simply handle the problem by themselves. The truth is that you will be in a confusing legal system that puts you up against experienced prosecutors. In fact, the DA's office has already started their case against you.

The best time to call an experienced defense attorney was the minute you were pulled over. The second best time is right now.

Prosecutors have already started an aggressive case against you

Since I left the prosecutor's office and opened the Law Office of John R. Garey in 2003, I have focused on helping good, hardworking people get through the legal mess that a drunk driving charge can cause. My goal is always to help you stay out of jail and to help you keep your driver's license. I handle everything. In addition to court hearings, I will handle your DMV hearing so you won’t even have to attend.

Aggressive representation for all matters related to drunk driving criminal charges and DMV hearings to protect your license:

  • Motions to challenge probable cause
  • Challenges to field sobriety test, blood and breath test results
  • All court hearings
  • DMV license revocation hearings
  • Provisional driver's licenses
  • Related traffic violations, including driving on suspended license (DUS)

Don't wait until it's too late

Every experienced drunk driving defense lawyer will tell you that the biggest legal hurdles happen because the person waited too long to hire a lawyer. You only have 15 days to schedule your DMV hearing in order to protect your driving privileges. This hearing is much like a criminal court case, and your attorney will need time to prepare evidence for a strong case in your favor. No matter when you were charged, get a lawyer involved now.

Honest dedication to client service and vigorous protection of their rights.
