DUI Drivers License Suspension Attorney in Myrtle Beach, SC

In addition to the criminal charges that go beside a Myrtle Beach DUI arrest, there are also driver’s license penalties. It is imperative to comprehend that the civil suspension issues are separate, and that a hearing must be requested inside 30 days.

Our team of DUI attorneys in Myrtle Beach has compiled the information below regarding suspension hearings in our city and state. If you request a hearing, it must be performed within 30 days. The reason for the hearing is to find out whether the driver was legally or illegally arrested, informed of their rights, the consequences of refusing a test, and whether the test was conducted in the correct and lawful manner. In addition, if the driver did reject the test from the officer.
