Criminal Defense Lawyers Working Diligently for Justice

Driving under the influence (DUI) is among the most common crimes. If you are one of the nearly 3,000 Delaware drivers charged each year with DUI, you must be defended by a lawyer with comprehensive DUI knowledge and extensive experience representing DUI defendants.

We also defend clients charged with domestic violence, drug crimes, sex crimes, juvenile crimes, thefts, assaults, and homicides. The law firm you choose can make the difference between jail or prison and freedom. Our firm will defend you with diligence and determination.

A Sussex County attorney at Abram, Gulab & Hutchison will ask the prosecutor to drop the charge, file a motion with the court to dismiss the case, negotiate a satisfactory plea deal, or take your case to trial and explain to jurors why they should find you not guilty.

If you are a convicted criminal offender now eligible to expunge your criminal record, Abram, Gulab & Hutchison will help you with the legal paperwork and the expungement process.

Personal Injury Lawyers Representing Injured Victims of Negligence

When you file a personal injury lawsuit, you can be compensated for injuries and other damages you incur due to another person’s negligence. Your compensation can cover the costs associated with serious injuries (like medical bills and lost wages), letting you focus on regaining your health.

Car and truck accidents generate the most personal injury lawsuits. Anyone can be injured as a pedestrian, in a traffic crash, or in a plane, boat, or helicopter accident. In Sussex County, if someone injures you in one of these scenarios, call Abram, Gulab & Hutchison immediately.

We represent the injured victims of accidents caused by negligent property owners, including accidents resulting from falling objects, slip-and-fall incidents, and trip-and-fall accidents. We also represent the victims of negligence in traumatic brain injury cases.

Family Law Attorneys Fighting for Families and Children

Every business in Delaware routinely faces assorted legal questions and challenges. Abram, Gulab & Hutchison offers Sussex County businesses the legal solutions they seek. Contact us at 302-405-7010 to schedule a consultation and discuss your business-related legal needs.

We pursue alternative dispute resolution methods (mediation, arbitration, and private negotiations), but if necessary, we will take your business dispute to trial. Sometimes going to trial is unavoidable, but you will be effectively represented by our experienced legal team.

Landlord-Tenant Disputes

Landlord-tenant disputes put a landlord’s investment and property rights at risk. At Abram, Gulab & Hutchison, we advise landlords regarding lease enforcement, eviction laws, and dispute resolution methods that protect their rights and interests.

Alternative Dispute Resolution Methods

Many civil cases in Delaware are settled without a trial. Settling out of court offers several advantages. It is typically faster, less costly, and less contentious than a trial. Out of court settlements are achieved in these three ways:

1. Direct negotiations: The disputing parties, through their lawyers, negotiate a mutually agreeable settlement.
2. Mediation: A mediator facilitates negotiations to help disputing parties find common ground. Delaware requires mediation in custody, child support, and visitation disputes. Delaware courts do not require but strongly encourage mediation in divorce cases.
3. Arbitration is a more formal process. After hearing and considering both sides, a third-party arbitrator renders a binding decision.

Abram, Gulab & Hutchison can assess your civil case to determine if an out-of-court settlement is in your best interests.
