Navigating DUI Worries with You
A DUI can shake things up—fines, time away, or losing your license and gun rights. It might mess with your job or reputation, especially if you hunt or serve. But Chambers Law sees the whole picture. Trent Chambers, with 2,000+ DUI cases under his belt from both prosecuting and defending, knows the ropes in Horry County. We’ll spot the weak links—maybe a bad stop or shaky proof—and aim to keep your record clean or ease the hit.
DUI and DUAC: What’s the Deal?
South Carolina (S.C. Code § Article 23) splits drunk driving into two buckets:
- DUI: Driving when an officer thinks you’re off—could be booze or drugs. They don’t need a test, just their word.
- DUAC: Driving with a blood alcohol level at .08% or up. They’ve got to prove it with numbers.
Both stick with you forever if they stick—no wiping them off. We’ll push to dodge that, whether it’s your first or a repeat.
What Could Happen?
A DUI or DUAC can bring:
- Fines and community hours
- License suspension—up to 90 days for a first go, more if it’s not
- Ignition lock gadgets
- Gun rights gone
- Mandatory classes
- Job or CDL trouble
Felony DUI—hurting someone bad or worse—jumps to 25 years per count. Chambers Law fights to keep it from getting that far.
