Defending People Accused of a Hit and Run
When people leave the scene of an accident, they face serious criminal and civil penalties if convicted. In addition to a fine and a six-month to a year suspension of a driver's license, a driver may also face jail time. At the Law Offices of Francis E. Farren, I represent people accused of leaving the scene of an accident in Delaware.
My practice, located in Newark, Delaware, focuses on representing people in administrative hearings before the Department of Motor Vehicles as well as in the criminal aspects of a hit and run case.

What Are Your Obligations After an Accident?
After every accident, you are required to stop and exchange information with the driver. If necessary, you will have to speak directly to the police. If you hit an unattended vehicle, you must leave your insurance and contact information for the owner. Failing to do so is a crime.
The sooner you speak to me after your accident, the better your chances are of resolving the matter favorably.
Hire an Experienced Attorney to Represent You
With over 20 years of legal experience, as a probation/parole officer, prosecutor and criminal defense attorney, I know the importance of not pleading guilty to a criminal charge without first speaking to a lawyer. You may be throwing away your chances of resolving a case successfully.
To speak to me about a charge you received after leaving the scene of the accident, contact the Law Offices of Francis E. Farren by emailing or calling 866-603-4647 or 302-294-0331 for a free consultation.
