Traffic Violations

Wilmington, Delaware, Traffic Violation Lawyer

Protect Your Driver's License

Before you pay for that traffic ticket or plead guilty to a traffic offense, contact an experienced attorney. You may not be aware of all the potential consequences, including license suspension, higher insurance rates and potentially jail time.

Contact the Wilmington law firm of Rahaim & Saints to discuss your traffic violation. We represent drivers of New Castle, Kent and Sussex counties, as well as commercial and out-of-state drivers cited in Delaware. In a free consultation, we will inform you of your rights and advise you on whether to fight the ticket or criminal charge.

Minor Traffic Offenses

The State of Delaware will suspend driving privileges if you accumulate too many traffic violation points within a certain period of time. If you receive a speeding ticket or other citation such as running a stop sign, it could be the one that puts you over the limit. Once you exceed the points, suspension is automatic. There is no license hearing. It is important to know how many points you have accumulated and that it may now be necessary to fight the ticket.

Major Traffic Violations

Some traffic offenses are misdemeanor crimes that carry both administrative license consequences and criminal penalties:

Habitual Offender

You can be designated as a "habitual offender" for:

  • Three or more major offenses within a five-year period (resulting in a five-year license revocation)
  • Ten or more traffic violations of any kind in a three-year period (resulting in a three-year revocation)

CDL Truck Drivers

We represent truckers cited in Delaware for speeding, DOT violations and other traffic violations that may jeopardize their commercial driver's license.
