5. Mace, Russell: New South Carolina DUI Law to Start in 2009 South Carolina has made several amendments to its' driving under the influence law. The new law will take effect in February of 2009. The new law is much more strict and opens up the possibility of jail time for the first offense. South Carolina has been a very lenient state when it comes to DUI law. This new law will have a dramatic effect on DUI litigation. A DUI in North Myrtle Beach will be prosecuted by the City of North Myrtle Beach. The City Attorney for North Myrtle Beach will be the attorney representing the government. It is important to hire a South Carolina Criminal Defense Attorney to represent you in any defense.

6. Frederick Defense Firm: DUI is a complex area of law, with many legal and factual issues including the science of alcohol testing, the administration of field sobriety tests, and the effects of physical conditions caused by illnesses or medications. Driving Under the Influence (DUI) not only refers to drunk driving but also to driving under the influence of illegal drugs. It is not illegal in South Carolina to drink and drive. We've all seen the ads on the television touting the slogans, "you drink and drive, you lose," or "sober or slammer." Certainly, no-one should be behind the wheel if they are intoxicated to the extent that they cannot safely operate their vehicle. But, contrary to the beliefs of some law enforcement officers, it is not against the law simply to have a drink and then drive. In order to convict you of driving under the influence, the State must prove beyond any reasonable doubt: that you were driving, and that while you were driving you were intoxicated to the extent that your ability to drive was materially and substantially impaired. If you have been charged with DUI in South Carolina you have the right to a jury trial; and you can and should contest the charges against you.
7. 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.

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.
8. 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.
9. Trenton Chambers: South Carolina Code 56-5-2930 It is unlawful for a person to drive a motor vehicle within this state while: (1) under the influence of alcohol to the extent that the person's faculties to drive are materially and appreciably impaired; (2) under the influence of any other drug or a combination of other drugs or substances which cause impairment to the extent that the person's faculties to drive are materially and appreciably impaired; or (3) under the combined influence of alcohol and any other drug or drugs or substances which cause impairment to the extent that the person's faculties to drive are materially and appreciably impaired.
10. William Diggs: Criminal charges can change your life. Your liberty and your future, or a loved one's, might be at stake.
11. 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...
12. 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.
13. 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.
14. 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.
15. 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.
