Michael Modica

Firm: Michael W. Modica, Attorney at Law
22b Trolley Square , Wilmington , Delaware 19806
Practice Areas: Criminal Defense, DUI & DWI
I have practiced law my entire career in Wilmington, Delaware. After graduating from Emory University School of Law in 1982 I became a deputy attorney general in the criminal division of the Delaware Department of Justice. I was a prosecutor for approximatel 3 years until I transitioned to private practice where I handled criminal defense cases and personal injury and worker's compensation cases. I have handled every type of criminal case from traffic tickets to capital murder cases. I have appeared in every State and Federal court in Delaware. I have had the occasion to appear before the Delaware Supreme Court in over 10 cases which is a unique distinction. I have been appointed by Superior Court judges to represent 3 capital murder defendants, which I believe reflects their respect for my competence and experience. I have been a trial lawyer for over 30 years.  My philosophy is to "imagine that I am the client" when I represent people as that serves to set the expectation as to how to properly assist each client. In addition to practicing law I have attempted to give back to my community in a number of ways. I was a board member on the Brandywine School District Board of Education from 1991 to 1996. I was appointed by Governor Carper to serve on the Advisory Council to the Delaware Department of Children, Youth and their Families. I was appointed by Governor Minner to serve on the Delaware Interscholastic Athletic Association. I am a board member of the Maplewood Senior Center. I have volunteered as a youth soccer, basketball, football and roller hockey coach. I am divorced and have three adult children.

716 North Tatnall Street, Suite 300 , Wilmington , Delaware 19801
Practice Areas: Criminal Defense
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:

Former Prosecutor, Long Time Top Rated Criminal Defense Lawyer. Compare my background and experience with any other lawyer.. A criminal lawyer for over 40 years.. 8 years as a criminal prosecutor and the last 34 years as a criminal defense lawyer.. Named to  "Best Lawyers in America"  since 1995.. Rated tops in Legal Ability and Ethics. Can other lawyers say that?. Will Your Lawyer Go To Trial?. Fancy web sites or empty claims of aggressive defense guarantee nothing. Ask a lawyer if they will actually go to trial if you don't get what you want from the prosecutor. They won't tell you a dirty little secret. A few will. Most won't.. The prosecutors know who will go to trial and who won't. Who is bluffng and who isn't.. Which  group do you think I am in?. Make up your own mind.  Come see me for a free consultation.
