Aggressively Defending Clients with a Variety of Criminal Law Concerns

At the Law Offices of Francis E. Farren, I vigorously defend people facing a wide range of criminal issues, such as:

• Drug charges : I aggressively defend clients charged with possession of illegal drugs, drug sales, drug trafficking, and prescription drug fraud.
• Assault : I have extensive experience representing clients charged with felony assault and domestic violence.
• Burglary : I have a strong background defending clients charged with breaking and entering a building with a weapon, as well as theft and other property crimes.
• Sex crimes: If you are convicted of a sex offense, you face substantial jail time and lifetime sex offender registration. I provide experienced defense for people facing charges of rape, sexual assault, molestation, online solicitation of a minor and possession of child pornography.
• Juvenile crime : When high school or college students commit crimes such as underage drinking, drug offenses, Internet hacking, traffic violations or other misdemeanors and felonies, the consequences can affect them long term. I am committed to protecting their rights and their futures.
• Probation and parole violations : As a former prosecutor and a former probation/parole officer, I understand how these cases work and how to effectively represent clients accused of all types of parole and probation violations.
• Expungement : Schedule a free consultation to discuss sealing your criminal record. This would prevent future employers, business partners and other individuals from discovering your criminal past.
• Protection from Abuse Proceedings

A Former Prosecutor, A Tenacious Defense Lawyer

Prior to starting my criminal law practice, I worked for 20 years in the criminal justice system ― first as a probation/parole officer and then as deputy attorney general for Delaware. During this time, I learned about criminal law from some of the best prosecutors and defense attorneys. I also gained a realistic understanding of what is and what is not possible in our court system.

As a prosecutor, I have tried hundreds of defendants accused of every type of misdemeanor and felony. I understand how the other side works. As a criminal defense attorney, I use my knowledge of the criminal justice system to fight for my clients' rights. When I take a case, I never give up fighting for justice.
