Columbia DUI Penalties Defense Attorney
What is the Penalty for DUI in South Carolina?
An DUI arrest can come with up to $1k in fines and/or up to 90 days in jail along with up to a 6 month licenses suspension. Recovery of your driving privileges can take time and relying on others or on public transportation after losing your license can cause inconvenience and additional costs. Additionally, if you’re convicted of a DUI following an accident you may be liable to additional criminal charges and lawsuits.
No one intends to get arrested for drunk driving, but sometimes a simple good time with friends can result in an arrest that threatens your future and livelihood. The penalties for DUI can be severe in South Carolina. The loss of your license and a conviction that appears on your background check can drastically affect your employment opportunities. We are experienced in handling drunk driving and traffic violation cases and can advise you about your rights and options.

Dealing with License Suspension
Your driver license can be suspended following a DUI or drunk driving arrest, even if you have not yet had a hearing. A refusal to take a requested Breathalyzer® test results in an automatic suspension of your license. In many cases, we can help you recover your license prior to having to serve the full suspension period. Attorney Moses is experienced with handling DUI cases and can help determine if the circumstances of your case may justify early license recovery. Driver license suspension issues are time sensitive from the date of an arrest. If the suspension is not challenged within the appropriate amount of time, the ability to challenge the suspension may be lost.
