We Work for the Best Possible Outcome

The future may look bleak if you’re in handcuffs or being fingerprinted, but to convict you of a criminal offense, the state must prove that you’re guilty. Proving your guilt may not be easy, especially if you’re represented by the legal team at Abram, Gulab & Hutchison.

The attorneys at Abram, Gulab & Hutchison have extensive experience with Kent County’s complex and often confusing criminal justice system. If you are facing a criminal prosecution, we will utilize the legal tools and tactics necessary to achieve the best possible outcome for your case.

What Cases Do We Handle?

One of the most common crimes in Delaware is driving under the influence (DUI). Delaware law enforcement officers made more than 2,700 DUI arrests in 2024. The science and law in these cases are exceedingly complicated, so you must be represented by an attorney with comprehensive DUI knowledge and extensive experience representing DUI defendants.

If you’re charged with a crime of domestic violence, you’ll need aggressive representation. A Kent County criminal defense lawyer at Abram, Gulab & Hutchison will review the facts in your domestic violence case and offer a persuasive, compelling defense on your behalf.

We also defend clients charged with drug crimes, sex crimes, juvenile crimes, assaults, and homicides. The law firm you choose may make the difference between a not guilty finding or a dismissal of charges and a criminal conviction.

What Should You Do After an Arrest?

If police officers in Kent County arrest you, comply and cooperate with them, but do not let the officers violate your legal rights. After an arrest:

You have the right to stay silent. Exercise that right.
Remember that anything you say could be used against you.
You have the right to your attorney’s presence during any questioning.

Do not make any statement or sign any document, and don’t agree to any plea deal before consulting your attorney.

What Are a Criminal Defendant’s Legal Options?

If you did not commit a crime, Abram, Gulab & Hutchison will seek to have the charge against you dismissed or to win your acquittal at trial. But if the state’s case is persuasive and if your conviction is certain, it may be wiser to negotiate a plea bargain.

Some defendants may qualify for a diversion program. If a diversion program or a plea deal is genuinely your best option, your Kent County criminal defense attorney will explain what a diversion program or plea deal may require.

We will recommend the option we believe is best for you, but if you are offered a plea deal, the choice of a jury trial or the plea deal is entirely yours.

Abram, Gulab & Hutchison Will Prepare an Effective Defense Strategy

The defenses that are most frequently offered against criminal charges include:

Another person committed the crime; the defendant has been misidentified.
No crime took place; the allegation is fabricated.
The defendant acted in self-defense or to defend a third person.
The defendant believed the action was legal and had no criminal intent.
A lesser crime happened, and the charge should be reduced.

When you retain our services, Abram, Gulab & Hutchison will develop an appropriate, effective defense strategy that will bring your case to its best possible resolution.
