Experienced Criminal Defense Attorney

My name is Francis E. Farren, and I have worked exclusively in the criminal justice system for more than 20 years. Before starting Law Offices of Francis E. Farren, in 2006, I was a deputy attorney general for the Delaware Department of Justice. I sentenced hundreds of individuals, and I know firsthand how the prosecution works.

As your criminal defense attorney, I will thoroughly review the evidence against you and will poke holes in the prosecutor's case, and make sure your rights are protected. For example, I will review police reports and witness statements to determine if the police officers had a reasonable suspicion to pull you over.

To have a reason for arresting you, the police officers must give you a field sobriety test or a breathalyzer. I will work with a team of experts to determine if the field sobriety test was conducted fairly, and I will determine if the breathalyzer results were affected by incorrect calibrations or general maintenance of the device.

What Can I Do For You?

If you have been charged with underage drinking as a college student, you not only face penalties from the State but also from your school. I have a strong background working in this community and will work vigorously to reduce the charges against you.

In some circumstances, I may be able to reduce your fine or license suspension if you participate in community service or enter an alcohol or drug rehabilitation program. I will also negotiate with your college to try and keep you on good standing with financial aid or an athletics program.
