    What a dwi / dui costs in South Carolina

    Typical fine$400 base fine first offense, far more with assessments and programs
    License pointsNo points — DUI is punished through the criminal case and suspension
    Insurance impactA DUI conviction commonly doubles premiums and requires SR-22 filing for three years.
    License riskFirst conviction brings a 6-month suspension plus ADSAP enrollment; refusing the breath test triggers its own administrative suspension with a short window to demand a hearing.

    Frequently asked questions

    What happens to my license right after an SC DUI arrest?

    If you refused the breath test or blew 0.15+, an immediate administrative suspension starts — separate from the criminal case — and you have only days to request a contested hearing and a temporary license. That deadline alone is reason to consult an attorney immediately.

    What does a first-offense DUI conviction mean in South Carolina?

    At the lowest tier: a fine, 48 hours to 30 days of jail or community service, a 6-month suspension, and mandatory ADSAP alcohol education. Penalties climb with BAC — but those are conviction outcomes, and a consultation is where an attorney tests whether the state can convict at all.

    Why no flat fee for DUI defense?

    Because the work is unknowable until the evidence is reviewed — South Carolina's strict videotaping requirements for DUI stops, the breath-test procedure, and your record all shape the case. Start with a consultation and get an honest assessment first.

    Can an SC DUI actually be beaten?

    South Carolina requires dash-cam video of the stop and field sobriety tests, and missing or defective video has sunk many prosecutions. Suppression issues, rising-BAC arguments, and negotiation all remain on the table — case by case.
