John R. Garey, P.A
No other Delaware criminal defense lawyers can say that they have as much experience as a former prosecutor in the district attorney's office. Today, I add that experience to many years of criminal defense representation as a solo practitioner to help my clients get the best possible outcome for their charges.

I am Delaware criminal defense lawyer John R. Garey. I left the Kent County Office of the District Attorney and opened the Law Office of John R. Garey in 2003 after more than 15 years as a prosecutor. Now, my only focus is using my experience and unique perspective on criminal law to protect the futures of people charged with juvenile crimes, DUI/DWI, drug charges, assault, sex offenses, traffic violations and all other criminal offenses.

John was very patient with me and very knowledgeable about the law and very quickly came up with a plan to end up on top when the dust settles...I would strongly recommend using John again in the very near future...

John Garey is a magician!
Had a DUI case recently that was really going to put me in a jam. I just knew that whole night had been handled poorly by the authorities and I never should have been in any trouble. Garey walked me through the whole situation and found out where they misstepped. Conclusion-DROPPED! Couldn’t be happier. I owe ya big time.

BRILLIANT JOB TURNING A BAD SITUATION INTO A POSITIVE EXPERIENCE
This past year and a half has been the first time that I have been in a situation that not only had the potential to change my life in a seriously negative way but was also above and beyond what I felt confident in how much I could effect the outcome. Just like I have never had any reason to list what aspects of a heart surgeon would make me comfortable handing my life over to for a procedure, I had completely taken for granted the effect that a lawyer could have on my quality of life. Thankfully a colleague recommended John Garey

DO NOT HIRE THIS MAN.
Had me convicted of DUI when I blew a 0.0 awful attorney. Not respected and no legal knowledge. Great para legal is the only reason he is in business. She does all the work and he collects money. Worst Google search of my life. Total loser and I can honestly say the worst attorney I've ever heard of as well as being seen by colleagues as a joke, used car salesman in a cheap suit.
Worst and laziest lawyer on planet
Took full advantage of me being from out of state, took my money never met him until 30 minutes before court. We were supposed to go to trial because my blood

HIRE THIS MAN
Mr. Garey got me off the hook, let me make payments and was very professional and courteous. Mr. Shep is clearly not telling the whole story.
