Charleston, SC LawyersDUI Defense

Comprehensive & Affordable Defense from a Seasoned South Carolina DUI Attorney


The penalties for driving under the influence (DUI) in South Carolina are severe. Even a first offense can result in jail time, the suspension of your driver’s license, can never be expunged from your record and will require additional insurance. A criminal conviction can also have lasting implications for your life and your family. If you or a family member has been arrested for DUI, you should take the charges very seriously.

At Thurmond Kirchner Timbes & Yelverton, PA, our defense lawyers have experience defending clients accused of DUI or driving with an unlawful alcohol concentration (DUAC) in South Carolina. It is important to have an experienced attorney thoroughly examine each charge against you, including investigating the following:

  • The legality of the stop
  • Whether a field sobriety test was properly administered
  • Whether the breathalyzer machine was properly maintained and calibrated
  • Whether blood or urine tests are accurate and reliable

As a seasoned criminal defense attorney, Mr. Thurmond has handled a wide range of DUI charges and knows how to negotiate with prosecutors and law enforcement.
