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

A DWI, or Driving While Intoxicated, offense occurs when someone operates a vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs beyond the legal limit. It is a serious charge that can result in significant penalties, including fines, license suspension, and even jail time.
What should I do if I'm pulled over for DWI?
If you're pulled over for suspected DWI, remain calm, be polite, and comply with the officer’s requests. You have the right to remain silent and request an attorney. Avoid making statements that can be used against you, and contact legal counsel as soon as possible.
Will a DWI affect my insurance?
Yes, a DWI can significantly impact your insurance rates. Insurance companies view a DWI as a high-risk factor, often resulting in higher premiums or even policy cancellation. It’s important to consult with your insurance provider to understand the potential financial implications.
How long does a DWI stay on my record?
The length of time a DWI remains on your record depends on the state. In many cases, a DWI can stay on your driving record for several years. It can affect future employment opportunities, insurance rates, and your driving privileges. Some states offer options for expungement.
