Traffic Violations

Protect Your Driver's License

Wilmington, Delaware, Traffic Violation Lawyer

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 even jail time.

Call 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. If you received a speeding ticket or other citation such as running a stop sign, it could be the one that puts you over the limit. There is no license hearing — once you exceed the points, suspension is automatic — so it's important to know where you stand, and it may be necessary to fight the ticket.

Major Traffic Violations — Some traffic offenses are misdemeanor crimes that carry both license consequences and criminal penalties:

  • Driving under the influence
  • Underage drinking
  • Driving while license suspended or revoked
  • Driving without insurance
  • Reckless/ aggressive driving
  • Hit and run (leaving the scene of an accident)
  • Fleeing police

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.

Drew Rahaim brings over 25 years of criminal defense experience to your case. He can represent you in court to challenge traffic violations or try to get them amended to a lesser (nonpoint) offense. He also represents clients in administrative hearings on license suspension and license restoration after revocation.
