Practice Areas of James R. Folsom, Esq.
I can help you with your legal issues in the following areas:
Personal injury
A personal injury is an injury caused by the negligence or intentional misconduct of another person or entity. Examples of personal injuries can include auto accidents, slip and fall accidents, animal attacks, medical malpractice, and defective product injuries.
If you suffer a personal injury due to the negligence of another party, you may be able to recover compensation not only for your medical bills and damaged property, but also for emotional and mental anguish caused by your injury. Furthermore, my New Castle personal injury law firm can help you get compensation for other expenses, such as future medical bills and rehabilitation, lost wages, and other costs associated with your injury.
DUI defense
In Delaware, most DUI charges are based on the opinion of the arresting officer that the driver was impaired by alcohol at the time he or she was pulled over. The officer may base this theory of impairment on his or her observations of driving patterns, the physical appearance and mannerisms of the driver, and the way the driver performs on field sobriety tests. It is not necessary that a driver be proven to have any specific blood alcohol level, only that the officer determines he or she is impaired. Clearly, there is a certain level of subjectivity associated with this method.
Delaware per se laws mean you may be charged with a DUI if your blood alcohol content measures at or above the legal limit of .08 percent, even if you show no signs of impairment. In either circumstance, a New Castle DUI law firm may be able to find weaknesses or breaches of protocol in the actions of the arresting officer that could weaken the case of the prosecution.
Experienced New Castle DUI attorneys provide the most effective defense for people charged with DUI. Whether this is your first offense or you have previously been convicted of DUI, it is important to have an attorney with the expertise to build a strategic and aggressive defense.
