Skilled Legal Defense for First DUI Offense
Being charged with DUI is very serious in Delaware. If this is your first DUI offense, you may lose driving privileges for 12 months. That is why attorney Francis E. Farren advises you to retain a skilled DUI attorney to protect your interests.
The prosecuting attorney has a whole array of Delaware support services at his or her disposal, including crime labs, law enforcement reports and state investigators. Juries do not look at drunk driving favorably, which gives the state yet another advantage.
If you are convicted of DWI, even for a first offense, you may see your insurance rates go sky high, and you will be responsible for paying for alcohol education courses and/or treatment the court orders.

Paying the Price of Violating DWI Traffic Laws
Here at the Law Offices of Francis E. Farren, Esq., P.A. I understand that good people make mistakes, such as speeding to an important appointment or having just 1 drink too many.
Delaware assigns point penalties depending on the seriousness of the offense and revokes driver's licenses based on these points. Unfortunately, DUI point penalties are at the top of the list.
If you decide to participate in the First Offender Program, you may get your license back in as soon as 3 months, if you meet all the program criteria. If you have a second DUI, however, the First Offender Program DUI will count as your first DUI violation.
What Must I Do in Order to Qualify for the First Offender Program?
You must agree to participate in the ignition interlock program, paying for installation and monitoring of the device in every car you drive.
To be sure the First Offender Program is right for you, schedule a free initial consultation with a DWI defense lawyer at the Law Offices of Frances E. Farren in Newark, Delaware, by e-mailing or calling 866-603-4647 or 302-294-0331 today.
