Yes, a DUI conviction shows up on a background check and can follow you for the rest of your life. That’s why it’s crucial to hire a reputable, experienced DUI lawyer in South Carolina who can help you navigate the legal process successfully.
Both a DUI and DUAC have an administrative side, involving the South Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), and a criminal side that involves the court. On the administrative side, a conviction comes with an automatic suspension of your driver’s license as well as blowing over a .16. The suspension is dependent on the details of your conviction, including your blood alcohol content at the time of the arrest, willingness or refusal to take a Breathalyzer test, and prior convictions or license suspensions.
You can fight a driver’s license suspension with the help of a seasoned DUI lawyer like Lori Murray, but you have to act quickly – you have 30 days to request an administrative hearing for your refusal to take the breathalyzer test. You will need to have the representation of your attorney to successfully challenge the suspension at an Administrative Hearing. Your attorney can also help you qualify for a Temporary Alcohol Restricted License to use while you wait for the hearing to take place.
Due to recent changes to South Carolina’s Implied Consent Law, anyone who refuses to submit to an alcohol blood or breath test, or who has an alcohol concentration of .15% or more, will have their license suspended. Within thirty days of the arrest, they can request a hearing with the Office of Motor Vehicles Hearings Division and obtain a Temporary Alcohol License or enroll in the Ignition Interlock Device Program.
