Serious Charge. Serious Penalties.
Recently, the DUI laws in South Carolina increased penalties for drinking and driving offenses. These penalties vary depending upon the results of your breathalyzer test: the higher your blood alcohol concentration (BAC), the more severe the penalties.
Firm attorney Ryan Stampfle is experienced in challenging drunk driving and DUI/DWI charges using a range of defense tactics. We have successfully had charges dismissed or reduced by questioning Breathalyzer validity, police officer breath test error, breath test machine calibration and consent issues, among other reasons.
Implied Consent Hearing
If you refused to take the breathalyzer test, or if your BAC exceeds .15, you will lose your driver's license. You may request an implied consent hearing (also called a license suspension hearing). We will attend and handle your implied consent hearing, fight your license suspension and take your case to trial if necessary.
