Charleston Law

I enrolled in ADSAP for a DUI from 1993. Instead of education, I was placed in alcohol and drug treatment. I neither drink nor use drugs and haven't had any other substance use problems since the DUI 20 years ago. I was given a personal treatment plan to follow. I looked up the diagnosis and "justification for treatment" codes in the ICD-9 and the ASAM and found they were in direct opposition of what I had discussed with the counselor during my assessment. They are lies, and they are harmful to my reputation. They are some of the worst problems a person could have, and they qualify me for treatment rather than education. I can easily prove they are lies with documentation from my doctors. I need this program to get my license, but my record is permanent. Class is expensive, too.
I am a little confused by your question either you are saying (1) that you had a DUI in 1993 and are taking ADSAP...
If so, under what circumstances? Also if so, is there any way a DUAC guilty plea NOT result in a license suspension?
Apart from the type of proof required, DUAC is the same as a DUI and has the same consequences. Contact a DUI lawyer...
i wasn't driving
Yes, you should contact a lawyer. A lawyer can advise you regarding your options. If this is a first offense, there...
Can you buy community service hours in Charleston County, SC? I've already been in front of a judge and received an extension but have still not been able to complete the full amount. Does anyone know if you can buy the remaining hours from the court?
I know of nothing that would allow you to do this.
I moved and the court was unable to give me my court date (even though my current lawyer had my phone number), so I did not show up to court, which automatically gave me a guilty sentence. Is there any way to get a DUI expunged in SC? I now live in Florida and am pursuing a nursing degree and don't want this to be an issue for me to get employment. I have no other offenses and don't want this to follow me for the rest of my life. Thank you.
Unfortunately, no.
A year and a half ago, I got pulled over in the state of Georgia for a DUI. I had a Michigan Driver's License at the time. I then switched my driver's license to South Carolina, where I currently reside, and went to court for the DUI a month ago in the state of Georgia. My license will be suspended when Georgia reports it to Michgan and South Carolina, although they still haven't reported it to either (waiting on that). My question is: which state will I have to deal with (besides Georgia) to get my license situation taken care of, when it does get suspended? Georgia and Michigan, or Georgia and South Carolina? I won't have to pay a bunch of money in both Michigan AND South Carolina, will I?
Your obligation falls under the jurisdiction of GA- since that is where you got your DUI. SC can still suspend your...
I'm pretty sure that I will have my DUI case dismissed since I wasn't driving and got a DUI after going back to my vehicle to see why the cops were out there by it. How do I go about filing a lawsuit for work missed, tow fee's, and that type of thing. Would I still have to pay a lawyer if I lose or does he take some of the money awarded?
You have to pay for an attorney if you are not impoverished. If you cannot afford an attorney, one may be appointed....
