- Irvin Law Firm:
Being charged with drunk driving does not make you a criminal. Although there are multiple alternative sentencing options for people convicted of drunk driving, repeat offenders risk jail time. The right DUI defense can help you lower the charges against you and minimize the potential consequences.
There are multiple ways to fight your DUI arrest. From proper breath test administration to the results of field sobriety tests, we will look at every aspect of your alleged drunk driving offense. Part of any comprehensive DUI defense is trying to reduce the charge you face, whether it is a felony or misdemeanor.
Keep Your License
You can take action and keep your license after your DUI charge. You have a limited window in which to file an appeal with the DMV.
- Sutton Law Firm:
Being arrested is one of the most traumatic things that can happen to a person and it often has a profound effect on their families and loved ones. A once bright future now lies in potential ruin. A valued job or promotion is on the line. A college scholarship or financial aid is at risk. Whether a local or a visitor, you need a skilled and experienced criminal defense attorney who knows the law as well as the persons who work within the local criminal justice system.

- William Diggs: Criminal charges can change your life. Your liberty and your future, or a loved one's, might be at stake.
- Jeffcoat, Pike and Nappier: The most important thing to do if you have been accused of a crime is to contact your attorney immediately. There are many factors which must be taken into account, and we recommend that you call or email to set up a consultation at your earliest convenience. Being charged with a crime is often traumatic, but it does not have to cast a shadow on the rest of your life. People do make mistakes...
- Sutton Law Firm: You should always keep in mind that South Carolina has a mandatory videotaping requirement, both at the scene of your stop and at the police station (S.C. Code 56-5-2953). Always conduct yourself as if you are on camera, because you probably are. Speak only when asked a direct question and always be polite. If you follow this simple advice, you will greatly enhance your chances for a successful outcome in your DUI case, even if you gave a breath alcohol sample and registered above the .08 level.
- Grammer Law Firm: If you were given a notice of suspension for either 1) Refusing to give a blood or breath or urine sample, or; 2) having a BAC of .15% or above, or: 3) Being an underage driver and having a BAC of .02% or more, you MUST enroll in the South Carolina Alcohol and Drug Safety Action Program (ADSAP) WITHIN TEN DAYS OF THE NOTICE and request an implied consent hearing WITHIN TEN DAYS OF THE NOTICE or your license suspension will become PERMANENT and you will not be eligible for a provisional driver's license.
- Monckton Law Firm: As you may know, the laws pertaining to Driving Under the Influence have changed drastically in South Carolina since June of 1998. These changes have made it incumbent on the person charged to take quick defensive action, or face the possibility of automatically losing the privilege to drive even without being convicted. Thus, it is wise for a person charged with DUI to immediately contact a lawyer in order to insure that their rights under the law are protected.
- Harry Pavilack: DUI is an offense with very severe consequences. Jail time, stiff fines, license revocation, probation and increased insurance costs are some of the consequences of being found guilty of DUI.
