I just got a DUI in and am nervous that the prosecutors will find my first DUI six years ago in another state under my maiden name. How likely is it will they find it and will it definitely be charged as my second offense?

It is pretty likely that the authorities will find it and charge you with DUI 2nd.

Four years ago I got pulled over for a D.U.I. In south Carolina, while I was living in Mississippi. I was later proven innocent in court. Two and a half years later I was in south Carolina again when I got pulled over for turning right on a red light when it was not allowed. The officer then told me my license was suspended because i refused to blow in a breathalyser two and a half years earlier. My question is why was I never informed about this license suspension in court or in writing? My address in Mississippi remained the same for two years. I called the my dmv in mississippi and they had no record of my license being suspended. Now I thought if your license was suspended in one state then it was suspended in the state that you live as well. Was I wrongfully convicted of a D.U.S?

If you refused to blow you should have been given notice that your license was suspended and the police officer should...

I was arrested for a DUI and thereafter plead guilty to a DUAC < 0.08 (less than 0.08) on the plea sheet. At that time I was led to believe that it is illegal to drive a motorized vehicle in the state of South Carolina after consuming any amount of alcoholic beverage.

I am licensed to practice in Az not SC so I can't answer your question, however your question should really be how do...

I was arrested and charged with DUI in South Carolina in the month of January 2012. Later the prosecution lowered the charge to a DUAC (Driving with Unlawful Alcohol Content) and the original DUI charge was Nolle Prossed. I plead guilty to DUAC < 0.08 in court. Will this affect my driving record?

I was arrested for a DUI about six months ago and my suspension is over. It was not only my first time arrested but my first ticket as well. I was very nervous and refused to provide a breath sample. I was always told if I was ever arrested not to say anything and not to provide any evidence that I did not have to. My case was ultimately dismissed because the officer did not provide the prosecutor with any evidence. I surrendered my license and served the six month suspension. Since I was not convicted of a DUI am I still required to take the ADSAP class?

Yes. The implied consent suspension is separate from the DUI itself. The DUI is a criminal proceeding, but the...

I was arrested and charged with a DUI in South Carolina in the month of January 2012. Later the prosecution offered to lower the charge to reckless driving and the original DUI charge was Nolle Prossed. I plead guilty to reckless driving in court. Thirty days after the disposition the court ordered that all records relating to the DUI arrest be expunged. Is there any reason to worry that the posecution may reopen the DUI case at a later time?

Expungement issues notwithstanding, courts are likely going to view your issue as they would for a contract between two...
