Let Our DUI and DWI Legal Know-How Work for You

We will aggressively defend your DUI/DWI charge and find answers to the following questions:

• Was your arrest conducted correctly? If there were mistakes in the Breathalyzer test or if the arresting officer acted improperly, our DUI and DWI defense attorneys may be able to challenge the results and have your case dismissed.
• Did you refuse to blow for a breath test or give a blood sample? This automatically leads to license suspension for a minimum of six months. By requesting a hearing, we may be able to obtain permission for you to drive on a temporary license.
• Are you a repeat offender? Your case could lead to hefty fines, jail time, skyrocketing car insurance rates and a criminal record. Our lawyers may be able to have the charges reduced.

Fighting Greater Penalties

In 2009, South Carolina's DUI/DWI laws underwent significant changes resulting in greater penalties. Depending upon your blood alcohol level (BAC), you now face:

• .08 to .10: a $400 fine and 2 to 30 days in jail
• .10 to .16: a $500 fine and 3 to 30 days in jail
• .16 and above: $1000 fine and 30 to 60 days in jail

We will fight to reduce your potential penalties, from getting the charges dropped completely to doing community service instead of jail time.

Driver's License Suspension

Please note, if your blood alcohol level was .15 or higher, your driver's license will be suspended for up to one month for a first offense and longer for subsequent offenses. No matter the circumstances of your arrest, we will provide strong representation both in the courtroom and at the Department of Motor Vehicles hearing.
