Zachary A. George, Esquire

The prosecution isn't winging it. They have a system — for building cases, pressuring pleas, and putting people away. To beat that system, it helps to have someone who ran it.

Mr. George spent years as a Criminal Prosecutor for the Delaware Department of Justice, trying countless jury trials from DUI all the way to Murder First Degree. He knows how the state picks its charges, sequences its witnesses, and leverages evidence — because he used to do it himself. Since 2017, he's used that same knowledge exclusively to defend people accused of crimes in every court in Delaware.

From the first phone call to the final resolution, Mr. George is personally involved in every aspect of your defense. He reads discovery looking for what the prosecution hopes you'll miss. And he fights for outcomes — dismissals, acquittals, reduced charges — not just process.

Zachary A. George specializes in all types of criminal matters — including misdemeanor and felony jury trials, appeals, post-conviction and habeas corpus litigation, sentence modifications, commutations, and pardons. He has a proven track record of results including dismissals, jury trial acquittals, and the vacatur of convictions post-conviction.

Before entering private practice, Mr. George clerked for the Honorable Robert B. Young in Delaware Superior Court. In that role, he worked across the Criminal Division and Civil Division — researching legal issues, aiding in the drafting of judicial opinions, and gaining firsthand insight into how judges evaluate the strength of a case from the bench.

Mr. George is a Delaware native. He graduated from Dover High School in 2004, from the University of Delaware in 2008, and from Delaware Law School in 2011.
