DUI Charges Can Change Your Life
Not only is a person’s driving status with the Department of Motor Vehicles potentially affected by a DUI charge, but for commercial drivers an arrest and potential conviction can have an impact on their ability to work. DUI law, perhaps more than any other area of South Carolina criminal law, is extremely complex and ever-changing. License issues or suspensions and potential fines or sentences can be affected by blood-alcohol content and the number of previous DUI convictions, among other factors.
What Are the Consequences of a DUI Charge?
With potential jail time or a fine and a six (6) month license suspension, in addition to the requirements to get your license reinstated, a first offense DUI conviction can have wide-ranging impacts. Because of the increasing potential penalties for a subsequent DUI charge, successfully fighting the first charge is of vital importance.
