Wilmington Criminal Defense Lawyer

If you are facing criminal law issues, trust your case to an experienced and knowledgeable lawyer. I am attorney Brian Chapman at the Law Office of Brian J. Chapman in Wilmington, Delaware. I am a lawyer who is dedicated to thoroughly examining the many aspects of your criminal case and helping you secure the best possible outcome. As a former prosecutor with the State of Delaware, I can help you level the playing field. My unique background allows me to view your criminal case from a multifaceted perspective. I am able to assess the state's case against you very quickly and provide a straightforward evaluation of the possible outcomes and the best options to pursue.

Part of the criminal defense process is reviewing all of the evidence in the case. I strive to make any evidentiary holes apparent, which may provide grounds to seek the dismissal of your case. I also stay current on the latest criminal court decisions and any changes in Delaware and federal law that may apply to your case. I review the procedures taken against you during your initial arrest to make sure your civil rights have not been violated. Law enforcement officials may have violated state or federal search and seizure laws, which can impact the outcome of your case.

I confidently represent clients in a range of felony and misdemeanor matters, including:

• DUI / DWI
• Traffic tickets
• Drug offenses (including trafficking, possession, and possession with intent to deliver)
• Robbery/burglary
• Assault
• Violent crimes
• Sex offenses
• Domestic violence
• Juvenile offenses

Along with handling appeals, I represent clients in seeking the expungement of their criminal records, requesting pardons, or dealing with probation violations.
