DUI Penalties & Consequences in South Carolina
A Charge For Driving Under The Influence Can Ruin Your Future
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.

Don’t let this happen to you.

What Are The Consequences Of A DUI Conviction?
An arrest for DUI can cause major hardships. The fines can be high and a conviction could result in the suspension of your license. Recovery of your driving privileges can take time. Relying on others or on public transportation after losing your license can cause inconvenience and additional costs. And if you’re convicted of a DUI following an accident, you may be liable to additional criminal charges and lawsuits.

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.
