I grew up in Northeast Missouri and graduated from Truman State University in 2002. I attended law school in Vermillion, South Dakota. While in law school in interned at the Federal Public Defender in Omaha.. Upon graduation I accepted a position at the Public Defender's Office in Sioux Falls, SD. During my 6 years at that office, I handled thousands of cases ranging from traffic tickets to serious felonies.. I have filed numerous pre-trial motions to keep specific evidence out at trial with the most public one being in 2013 where a successful pre-trial motion kept the prosecutors from using the term "abusive head trauma" on a shaken baby case.. I have also had numerous trials, both jury and bench trials, with great outcomes.. As I handled more and more cases I realized that a "win" was not necessarily a not guilty verdict (although those are fantastic), but helping clients to make major life changes. I have been able to get clients through diversion programs where they are able to move forward to receive degrees or professional certificates, to one client even opening her own business.. Leaving that office was tough because of the relationships I had made, but being able to work for myself and to put more time into every case has been just as rewarding.

I am a member of the Delaware State Bar Association and the Richard S. Rodney Inn of Court.. With strong Delaware roots and an interest in criminal law, I am proud to represent those now facing the criminal justice system.

My partner Patrick and I practice primarly in the areas of criminal and DUI defense.  We are trial lawyers.  We handle every type of case, from the most serious felonies down to misdemeanor offenses in the Court of Common Pleas or Alderman's Court 40 in Newark, DE.  Even "minor" cases, such as a DUI, can have a lasting impact on your life, especially when it comes to employment.. Prior to joining Patrick in private practice, I clerked in the Superior Court of Delaware for the Honorable Jan R. Jurden.  Clerking for Judge Jurden provided an excellent foundation before going into private practice.  Working with judges on a daily basis behind the scenes provided invaluable insight.. Before I clerked, I graduted cum laude  from Widener University School of Law.  While there, I interned for Judge Jurden (first year), Gene Maurer, and Joe Hurley (second and third years).. In short, our practice is built on helping people when they need it most.  We're here for you.. Please give us a call or send me an email.. Here are a couple of articles about cases I'm currently working on:

I started my own law practice in June of 2017 after working for two prior busy firms.  I have been practicing law since the year 2000, and I am taking all of my years of experience to focus on my client's individual legal needs.  I have extensive experience in the Family Court for all family court matters, District and Superior Court for all criminal matters and the Traffic Court for all motor vehicle violations.  I also have handled hundreds of personal injury claims obtaining the best possible results for my clients. Through my years of practicing as an attorney I have developed relationships and strategies to better suit my clients' needs and achieve the best results for my clients.  I have been enjoying running my own practice by helping many new clients, and developing many more relationships as a sole practitioner.  I urge anyone with a legal need to schedule a free consultation and hopefully become part of the Biafore Law family.
