Wilmington Driving Under Suspension Defense Lawyer
The State of Delaware treats driving with a suspended license very seriously. If this is not the first time you have been caught driving with a suspended license you may face serious penalties, including a jail sentence and additional period of suspension.
If at any time during the previous three years, you were caught driving with a suspended license, your current charge will result in a mandatory 60-day jail sentence if convicted. Multiple suspended driving charges may result in your driving privileges being suspended for up to five years.
In addition to the current driving with a suspended license charge, you may be facing additional collateral consequences, too.
If you are currently on probation, driving with a suspended license may be a violation of your probation terms. Violating probation generally results in a re-sentencing for your original charge — that means you lose the benefits of a previously negotiated probation.
Driving With A Suspended License Due To A DUI Charge
