I was recently arrested for misdemeanor dui, and released the same day. The next day a lawyer sent an email addressed to me talking about his services, but the email address he sent it to is not mine. It happens to be an immediate family member. This has caused a drift within my family. They... View More

In South Carolina, the admissibility of breath test results in DUI cases can depend on various factors, including the timing of the test. Although there may not be a strict "two-hour rule," the longer the time between the alleged offense and the test, the more room there is for... View More

Hire a criminal defense lawyer immediately. If he was not intoxicated, you may have a winning case.
Expungement will happen 2026.
Lawyer has multiple complaints and his license has been taken away.
They can't find any record or incident report for my case at all. No officer sworn report either.
Can I get my fine money back and reimbursed for my vehicle they auctioned off as well?

You pled guilty and paid the fines, so there is no want of prosecution. The state has fully prosecuted the case to a guilty plea and collected its fine. I am not seeing this as a viable course of action. If being ability to produce the documents is creating some other sort of hardship, you might... View More

If you believe you have legitimate grounds for a judge change, consult with your attorney, who can... View More

You can remove the interlock. I would send the bill to my Ex.
You have no obligations to him or the court. Therefore, you can remove the device from YOUR vehicle.
Your Ex needs to update the court and/or the probation department about his vehicle status.
I hope this helps.
Good luck!

If you satisfactorily prove that you were not read your Miranda rights, any statement you may have made to police after you were arrested ought to be excluded from evidence at your trial. It does not affect the lawfulness of your arrest or whether you will be found guilty based on other evidence... View More

The good news is that you, your lawyer, or your PO can request the court allow you to remove the Interlock device. If your PO is willing to make the request, that would be the best way as the court usually grants the request from the PO.
If your PO will not do it, it MUST be done by a... View More
