Drunk Driving Laws in South Carolina

Our DUI attorneys make sure to carefully explain to each client the specific details of South Carolina law and how they apply to his or her case. One of the most important things to understand is that you can recover your driver's license if you act quickly.

In South Carolina, you get your license revoked automatically if you register a .15 or above on a breath test or refuse to take one entirely. Our lawyers can help you recover your license by requesting an administrative hearing. While the hearing is pending, you can get temporary driving privileges, and at the hearing, we will work to get the suspension lifted permanently.

It is also important to remember that you have not been convicted of anything yet. The police must prove their case against you, and there are many ways to potentially challenge their evidence. Their breath testing equipment is not perfect, and can often be faulty. Some police in their haste to make an arrest fail to follow proper procedure and sometimes violate your rights.
