Columbia DUI Attorney

An arrest for drunk driving in South Carolina is a serious offense that could complicate your life long after your initial conviction. If you are convicted on charges of drunk driving (DUI/DWI), you could face:

• Loss of your driver’s license and driving privileges
• Temporary loss of your motor vehicle
• Jail time
• Stiff fines and court costs
• Higher motor vehicle insurance premiums
• Embarrassment for you and your family

Quality DUI/DWI Defense for Individuals Throughout South Carolina Since 1995

At my law firm, the Law Office of David B. Tarr, LLC, I focus my practice 100 percent on providing strong criminal defense services to individuals facing a range of criminal charges, including drunk driving. From my days as a public defender more than 15 years ago to my time now as a sole practitioner, I have dedicated my entire legal career to protecting the rights of people just like you.

As your dedicated Columbia DUI lawyer, I can provide you with the experienced representation you require regardless of the type of charge or hearing you are facing:

• DUI administrative hearings
• First-time DUI charges
• Repeat and felony DUI charges
• Underage drinking and driving

I can assist you in understanding the full impact a DUI conviction can have on your life and explain in detail all of the DUI penalties you may be facing. For instance, if you are charged with DUI while driving a commercial truck or company car, you could lose your job. Or, if you received a DUI after being in an accident, you could face additional criminal charges.

I Will Seek to Use All Potential Defenses in Your Case

I understand the nuances of South Carolina's drunk driving laws and police procedure. I will use my knowledge to sow the seeds of doubt regarding whether you were stopped properly, your Breathalyzer test was correctly administered, or the police violated your rights. I will work to show that sobriety tests are designed for failure and argue for a dismissal or reduction of the charges against you. I know what it takes to be able to negotiate for lesser, alternative penalties.
