Driving Under the Influence of Drugs

Criminal Defense for Drug DUI Charges in Delaware

The police can arrest and charge you for DUI, if they catch you driving under the influence of a prescription or an illegal drug. They can charge with you a drug DUI, regardless of the amount of drugs in your system. If you were impaired, they can arrest you.

At the Law Offices of Francis E. Farren, I represent people facing drug DUI charges in Delaware. From my office in Newark, I create strategies for people facing jail time, a fine and the loss of their license if convicted of impaired driving because of a drug.

If It Impairs Your Ability To Drive — You Should Not Take It While Driving

What many people do not understand is that it is illegal to drive a motor vehicle if under the influence of a drug that impairs their ability to drive. No matter if it is over-the-counter medications, prescription drugs or illegal drugs, if it impairs your ability to drive you can be charged with a DUI.

Challenging the Evidence in Your DUI Case

Drug DUI cases often involve technical evidence related to blood or urine tests conducted by law enforcement. It is important to have a lawyer who knows the challenges that can be made to suppress illegally obtained evidence in your case. As an attorney with over 20 years of experience as a probation/parole officer, prosecutor and criminal defense attorney, I know the issues that may bolster your case.

Drug DUI — More Severe Penalties if Convicted

Pursuant to directives of the Attorney General's Offices, persons charged with drug-related DUI cases will not be offered the first offender program. It is important to select an experienced criminal defense attorney who understands these issues thoroughly.
