Modica Michael W Attorney At Law

Child Abuse
Allegations of child abuse can turn your life upside down. You could go to jail or prison. Your kids could be taken away from you. You could be placed on a state list of abusers and barred from certain occupations.

Criminal Defense
If you have been charged with a violent crime, such as Assault, Possession of a Deadly Weapon during the Commission of a Felony, Menacing, Reckless Endangering or Offensive Touching, it is critical to be represented by an experienced criminal defense lawyer to ensure that your rights are protected. Assault and other violent crimes have significant potential penalties -— including mandatory incarceration in many cases time — and navigating the criminal process is not easy. You should understand that the Delaware sentencing framework is designed in a way to punish those convicted of violent offenses more harshly than other offenses.
DUI/DWI
For more than 40 years, I, Michael Modica, have been helping people throughout Delaware fight their DUI/DWI charges, keep their licenses and achieve the best results possible for their case. If you have been charged with a DUI in Wilmington contact Michael W. Modica a Wilmington driving under the influence attorney, today for a free initial consultation.
Traffic Violations
A common tactic used when defending against DUI charges is to get the charge reduced to reckless driving. While this method may be good for in-state residents, a reckless driving charge will be reported to out-of-state drivers’ home states — often resulting in a loss of driving privileges at home.
Sex Crimes
I have experience with white collar crime and sex crime cases. I will vigorously assert your rights at every stage. I have access to forensic computer experts who can identify weaknesses in the state’s investigation. I will fight to dismiss the case or exclude evidence. I will explore negotiations to downgrade the charges or soften the penalties while preparing to defend you at trial if necessary to prevent a felony conviction.
Fraud
Robbery
White Collar Crimes
I am attorney Michael Modica, a former Delaware Assistant Attorney General and criminal prosecutor with more than three decades of experience representing individuals in Wilmington and New Castle County charged with identity theft and other white collar crimes. As prosecution of these crimes has moved to Internet-related offenses, my representation has become increasingly sophisticated as well. Call my office for a free consultation from a Wilmington internet identity theft lawyer if you are being investigated or have been arrested for Internet identity theft.
Theft
Misdemeanors
A Governor’s Pardon relates helps blunt the harsh impact of a criminal conviction. A pardon results in the restoration of many civil rights, such as the right to vote, and carry a weapon, that are affected by a criminal conviction. A pardon can also eliminate an individual’s requirement to register as a sex offender. A pardon can result in the criminal record expungement for certain misdemeanors, although felony convictions are not subject to expungement. However, a pardon of a felony does indicate to a prospective employer that the misconduct was an aberration and that the person’s conduct since the conviction has been exemplary and worthy of the pardon.
Drug Crimes
If you have been arrested and charged with a crime in Delaware, you cannot afford just any lawyer for your defense. You need an attorney who has the experience to effectively assert your rights and achieve the best possible outcome. My name is Michael W. Modica, and I regularly handle a wide array of criminal cases, from DUI and misdemeanor crimes to the most serious felony charges, including drug crimes, weapon offenses, sex crimes and fraud. I am in court almost every day and have substantial experience defending clients at every level of the Delaware criminal justice system, including trials, appeals and post-conviction relief.
Assault
If you have been arrested for assault or another violent crime in Delaware, learn more about how to protect your rights. Contact me a Wilmington assault defense lawyer online or call 888-672-0082 to schedule a free initial consultation.
Murder
If you are convicted of a felony, you have a right to file an appeal to the Delaware Supreme Court to seek a reversal of the conviction. The notice of appeal must be filed within 30 days of a sentence. As a Wilmington criminal appeals lawyer, I have handled numerous appeals before the Delaware Supreme Court. My successful appeals include winning a new trial for capital murder defendant who was previously sentenced to the death penalty, and a reversal of a client’s conviction for drugs and weapons offenses resulting in dismissal of all charges and release from a mandatory 26 year sentence.
Identity Theft
Phishing is one of the main types of activities being prosecuted as Internet identity theft. It is illegal to steal or possess identifying personal information of another, or to impersonate another for financial gain. Phishing involves sending emails that purport to be from a company the user may do business with, in an attempt to get the person to divulge account information such as usernames, passwords, account numbers and other sensitive data.
Restraining Order
But the punishment for cybercrimes is very real: Jail or prison. Fines and restitution. Restraining orders. A criminal record that will make it hard to get a job, a loan or an apartment. If you are accused of using a computer to commit a crime, you need a lawyer who can protect you from the consequences of serious felony charges.
Manslaughter
My client was employed as a group home aide who was charged with Manslaughter relating to the death of one of the residents. After a four day trial, the jury voted 11-1 in favor of acquittal. The state decided to dismiss the case against my client rather than retry him... read more
Internet Crimes
Delaware law includes a variety of computer-related offenses that involve the Internet, social media, email or texting. For instance, the law outlawing “unrequested or unauthorized electronic mail” (SPAM) makes it a crime to send commercial email after being asked to stop. This offense can range from a class A misdemeanor to a class D felony, depending upon the damages alleged to have been caused. Other Internet crimes may include...

Personal Injury
Participating in the Wilmington DUI First Offender Program involves entering a guilty plea to your DUI charge if you are eligible for the program. To be eligible you must not have been involved in a personal injury accident and your test result must be under.20. However, I am often able to persuade the prosecution to waive these restrictions.
