Understanding DUI Defense in South Carolina
A DUI conviction in South Carolina can have devastating consequences: license suspension, jail time, massive fines, increased insurance rates, and a permanent criminal record that follows you for life.
As a former assistant solicitor, I prosecuted hundreds of DUI cases. Now I use that experience to defend you. I know the weaknesses in these cases—procedural errors, faulty equipment, improper testing procedures—and I know how to exploit them.
Whether it’s your first offense or you’re facing a repeat DUI charge, I fight aggressively to protect your license, your record, and your future. Don’t face these charges alone.
Potential Penalties in South Carolina
First Offense: Up to 30 days in jail, $400 fine, 6-month license suspension

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I refuse a breathalyzer test?
South Carolina has implied consent laws. Refusing can result in automatic license suspension. However, every situation is different—call me immediately to discuss your specific case.
Can I get a DUI expunged?
DUI convictions generally cannot be expunged in South Carolina. This makes fighting the charge from the start absolutely critical.
What if I was barely over the limit?
Breathalyzers have margins of error. I challenge the accuracy and calibration of testing equipment as part of every DUI defense.
