When You’re Charged With DUI or DUAC around Spartanburg, the Stakes Are Too High To Assume You Can’t Win. A Spartanburg DUAC & DUI Attorney From Our Firm Can Mount a Defense For You.

Here’s the answer to the #1 burning question our clients have:

What are the penalties for a South Carolina DUI/DUAC First Offense conviction? These charges can seriously disrupt your life. And let us dispel a tragic myth from the get-go: Regardless what you’ve been told, Driving with an Unlawful Alcohol Concentration (DUAC) charges carry the SAME penalties as driving under the influence (DUI).

These are some of the potential costs of a first offense DUI or DUAC:

• Immediate license suspension - even without a conviction,
• Costly, burdensome ignition interlock,
• Fines and court costs ranging from a minimum of around $1,000 up to over $2,000,  
• Possible jail time,
• Driver’s license suspension - 6 months, which can be ended with getting ignition interlock,
• Permanent criminal record - unlike certain other crimes, DUI convictions cannot be removed from your public record,
• SR-22 auto insurance, which can cause premiums to skyrocket,
• Costs to attend the Alcohol and Drug Safety Action Program - at least $500 and up to $2,500,
• College students can lose state scholarships and their parents can lose tax credits for education payments,
• You also face a possibly a cloudy employment future, including potential loss of your job and future job opportunities.

But It's Not All Gloom and Doom- Here's Some DUI Secrets You Need To Know:

1. Just because you blew .08 or more does not mean you are automatically guilty. If we can use your video to prove you’re not impaired, it’s just a number, and you’ve got a shot at acquittal. Plus . . .  
2. Don’t assume you can’t win—you may have defenses you don’t even know about. No matter how confident the officer seemed, the State must prove its case, not you.  We know how to point out what the officer did wrong and can present the facts that favor you. We also know how to develop highly technical legal defenses, if they exist in your case, that can get it dismissed, no matter how “bad” you think your case is.
3. When you’re charged with a DUI or DUAC, you’ve got to act fast to protect your rights. If your license got suspended for refusing a breathalyzer test or blowing .15 or more, the clock is ticking on the deadline to get a license to drive without restriction in South Carolina, and if you miss the court date on your traffic ticket, you could be convicted without a jury trial.
