Are You Facing Drunk Driving Charges?

If you’re being accused of your first DUI or Driving with an unlawful alcohol concentration (DUAC), the defense process is likely intimidating. The consequences of a first conviction can be enough to have a lasting impact on your future, so you want to be sure you are building the strongest possible defense in your case.

I am here to help you. I offer legal services for clients throughout the Conway and Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, areas. I will advocate for you in and out of the courtroom and help you fight to get your license back.

What To Expect From A First-Time Offense

A first-time DUI or DUAC charge can completely alter your criminal record. Before you build your defense, you must know what to expect. If you’re convicted of a first-time DUI or DUAC, you could have to:

  • Give up your license
  • Leave your job
  • Spend time in jail

Because the consequences of a conviction extend just beyond the initial fines, prison time or other consequences of a courtroom, your lawyer should know what is really at stake in your case and fight to avoid those consequences. Thankfully, I know the consequences of a conviction and do what it takes to beat the charges in your case.

Do Not Let Your Defense Wait

You need an experienced lawyer who will fight for you every step of the way. I can help you fight a variety of traffic violations, including speeding, failure to stop at a stop sign and reckless driving. I will do my best to minimize fees and penalties while protecting your driving record.

Get in touch with me today by calling 843-488-0778 or using the intake form here to schedule your initial consultation to begin developing the custom-tailored defense strategy you can count on.
