What will happen in court for my DUI?

Answered by attorney Eric J Trabin (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at The Trabin Law Firm, P.L.
You most certainly will not have to talk (you have the right to remain silent) unless it is to tell the court whether you need a public defender or would like to hire a private attorney. If you hire a private attorney prior to the court date then the attorney can waive your appearance so you do not need to go to court. If you are offered a deal when you do go to court you should not accept it until you have had the chance to have a lawyer review the evidence against you and determine whether the offer is actually in your best interest.

I was scheduled for court today at 1pm, but I thought it was tomorrow what should I do?

Answered by attorney Richard B. Jacobson (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Richard B. Jacobson Associates, LLC
Call the Clerk of Court. Identify yourself and the name and number of the case. Explain that you missed court today because of a mistake, and you would like your appearance re-scheduled. If you do it soon enough, the Clerk's office is likely to agree. If it is a criminal matter, they will probably have you speak to the District Attorney. Often they understand that ordinary humans make mistakes, and they have procedures t0 straighten things out. In addition, if anything serious in the way of money or your liberty is potentially at stake, you'd really benefit from hiring a lawyer.

Can I be charged with refusal if the officer ticketed me on it?

Answered by attorney Richard David Peacock (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Peacock Law Group of the Lowcountry, LLC
In SC, if you are referring to refusal to submit to breath and/or bodily fluid testing and the charge is plain DUI, then yes, the State can allege that you refused to submit to testing under certain conditions. These conditions are very highly contested in the legal arena right now and there are technical arguments in regards to a lot of them right now. You should consult in person with an attorney as soon as possible regarding these matters. I do hereby clearly advise against any reliance on the information as advice or application of it to a specific situation without a more thorough consultation with counsel.
