Kevin P. ONeill Esq.

Wilmington Delaware Traffic and DUI Lawyer Kevin O'Neill

Remember ¿ Never assume that you can talk your way out of a DUI arrest or a traffic ticket. If you try to do this, the odds are against you. Be polite, be courteous, but try to KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT! As the saying goes, \"Anything you say can and will be used against you.\" It is really true!

And please resist the temptation to beg for mercy. Only a sentencing judge can show mercy, so do not beg the police officer at roadside or back at the police station to be \"cut a break.\"

So many Traffic Ticket or DUI convictions can be avoided if people understand their legal obligations, and more importantly, if they understand how the system works. INFORMATION IS POWER IN THE LEGAL SYSTEM. There are two sides to every story, and so often the police only hear one side of the story when they make their decision to ticket you or arrest you at roadside.

My name is Kevin P. O'Neill. I have more than 25 years of experience as a successful criminal defense lawyer in Delaware. I am a fighter, and I fight to win.

Rapid response time is vitally important in many of the cases I handle. That is why I am available to my clients in Delaware, Pennsylvania, Maryland and New Jersey around the clock by phone or e-mail.

Lawyer for Clients Facing Traffic Ticket Charges and DUI Charges in Delaware

A strong defense begins immediately, not in the courtroom. My years of legal work in the Wilmington, Delaware area have earned me a reputation among law enforcement officers and prosecutors that is an invaluable part of your defense.

The importance of keeping points off your license cannot be overstated. Too many points and the best thing that can happen is that your insurance premiums skyrocket. However, you may also suffer a lengthy loss of your driver's license and even jail time.

If you ask most people what their largest personal asset is, they will probably say their home or their personal savings. I totally disagree. What they should say is their earning power, which generally measures in the many hundreds of thousands of dollars. Central to this asset is your driving privileges. Your license is probably your key or critical personal asset. It pays to protect this asset. Don't be pennywise and dollar foolish.

Virtually everyone has received a speeding or traffic ticket. Our first reaction is usually disgust and anger. Our second reaction is typically resignation - We think to ourselves, \"It is so much of a hassle to take a day off from work and challenge the ticket in court.\" What should you do?

But Do Not Just Pay That Traffic Ticket! Do not just plead guilty to a DUI or DWI charge!

Do Not do The Prosecutor's Job For Him!

Did you know that less than 5% of Americans challenge traffic and DUI tickets? Traffic citations cost hundreds of dollars in up-front costs - and even more in insurance premium increases and points to your license. Yet amazingly, many people think it's a \"waste of time\" to contest them. It's not! This is very shortsighted. Our bankrupt Delaware state government increases the costs of tickets, the fines, and yes, even Delaware's newest creation: probation fees, almost every year. The insurance industry is not far behind.

Should You Fight a Traffic Violation or DUI charge?
You should fight them whenever possible. I can help you avoid points on your license or reduce the number of points you receive. I will fight to protect your driver's license and your freedom. I know how important it is for you to be able to go to work or school and to take care of yourself and your family.

I am a fighter. I fight to win. I have cross-examined hundreds of police officers under oath. Oftentimes, I can work a case out before trial. Many police tend to be quite difficult at roadside, but qui
