Recover Your License Today

In South Carolina, if you refuse to take a breath test, or register a .15 blood alcohol concentration on the breath test, your driver’s license will be seized and you will be suspended immediately. We can help you recover their license by requesting an administrative hearing which will entitle you to an immediate return of your driving privileges while your hearing is pending. We will then represent you and fight for you at the administrative hearing to defeat the suspension.

We Win DUI Cases:

1. The Facts – the police and prosecution must prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt. It is our job to closely examine the evidence to identify weaknesses and dispute the prosecution’s case.

2. Technical Issues – In many cases, some law enforcement tactics will result in the dismissal of the case with out saying the police are to blame. He is very good at the technical result in charges based on questionable tactics or procedures. When this occurs, we are often able to have evidence suppressed and charges reduced or dismissed.

3. The Jury – If your case goes to trial, it will be our job to present the whole picture to a jury, ensuring that your case is decided according to the facts and the law and not by emotional appeals on the part of the prosecution.
