Specializing in criminal defense, family law, and civil litigation, the firm has established a reputation for aggressive courtroom advocacy, sophisticated trial strategies, and a commitment to assigning cases to highly experienced and qualified staff.

The Delaware Department of Justice withdrew the charges against the president of Delaware State University following a successful legal motion filed by the law firm. The challenge, centered on the constitutionality of the initial traffic stop and the validity of field sobriety tests, led the state to terminate proceedings on the most serious charges in exchange for a plea to a lesser offense.

The case originated from a traffic stop on Route 1 near Smyrna in July 2025. While initial reports indicated that a chemical test showed a blood-alcohol level above the legal limit, defense attorney Michael R. Abram argued that the evidence was illegally obtained and lacked reasonable suspicion and probable cause.

In the motion to suppress, the defense contended that the arresting officer observed minimal lane deviations with questionable evidence of creating an appreciable danger, which Delaware courts have historically found insufficient to justify a traffic stop. Furthermore, the defense highlighted that the defendant had successfully passed several field sobriety tests, including counting and finger-dexterity exercises, and exhibited zero clues of impairment during the walk-and-turn test.

The motion also challenged the administration of the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus (HGN) test, noting that the officer performed only five passes with the stimulus instead of the required six, rendering the results invalid for establishing probable cause.

"In the absence of such probable cause, the fruits of this illegal arrest, including the confirmatory chemical testing, must be suppressed. Approximately three weeks after the filing, the Delaware Department of Justice judged that the evidence was gathered in violation of constitutional rights," said Abram, the founding attorney and principal partner at Abram, Gulab & Hutchison.
