Facing a Delaware DUI?

Have you been arrested or charged with a DUI in Delaware? Do you have an upcoming court date for a DUI or driving under the influence charge?

If you answered yes, you’re likely feeling anxious or fearful about what the future holds. You may be asking yourself:

  • How will a DUI affect my future?
  • Am I going to jail?
  • What steps should I take to mitigate the harm?

Understanding Delaware DUI Law

In Delaware, a DUI occurs when a person drives a vehicle:

  • Under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or a combination thereof, or
  • With a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08 or more.

A first or second DUI is a misdemeanor criminal charge in Delaware. A third offense or above is a felony.

The State of Delaware takes drunk driving seriously, and on many DUI offenses you may face:

  • Jail time
  • DUI classes
  • Probation
  • Fines
  • Loss of license

A DUI charge can be life-altering or disruptive. You do not have to go it alone!
