Got me the best case scenario and expunged my record.
Elizbeth Boren
Best Case Scenario Achieved
I am so happy that I chose to go with Thurmond Kirchner & Timbes! After my first DUI arrest in South Carolina, I was beyond anxious and freaked out about the out-of-state charge. Not being a South Carolina resident didn't matter to Paul, and he got me the best case scenario I could have asked for, and also got everything expunged from my record! Pricing was fair, the office was more than communicative, and anything I needed Paul was there the whole time! Would recommend them to anyone! 10/10

What's the difference between DUI and DWI?
DUI (Driving Under the Influence) and DWI (Driving While Intoxicated) are terms used to describe drunk or impaired driving. The specific definitions and use of these terms depend on state laws. Some states use them interchangeably, while others may distinguish between types or levels of impairment.
Is there a chance my DUI charge could be dismissed?
Yes, there is a chance a DUI charge could be dismissed if certain conditions are met. This may occur if there were procedural errors during your arrest, inaccuracies in BAC readings, or violations of your rights. Each case is unique, and a lawyer can help assess your situation.
What are the penalties for DUI?
Penalties for DUI can include fines, license suspension, mandatory alcohol education programs, and even imprisonment. The severity of penalties often depends on factors such as prior offenses, BAC level at the time of arrest, and whether any property damage or injury occurred.
