If you have lost your right to lawfully drive in South Carolina by being found to be a Habitual Offender our License Restoration Attorney may be able to help.

Under South Carolina law if you are convicted of three serious driving related offenses you may be designated as a Habitual Offender. Examples of the types of offenses which can lead to this include:

Driving Under the Influence (DUI)
Driving with an Unlawful Alcohol Concentration (DUAC)
Reckless Driving
Driving Under Suspension (DUS)
Passing a Stopped School Bus

Being determined to be a Habitual Offender means that your license is set to remain suspended for the rest of your life. Once this designation is made by the South Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles if you are found to be driving again you will be arrested and charged with a serious felony that carries up to five years imprisonment.

To avoid the risk of arrest and incarceration it is important that if you have lost your license because of South Carolina's Habitual Offender law that you successfully have your driver's license reinstated prior to driving.

James Snell is a License Restoration Attorney who can assist those whose license has been permanently suspended. The process includes filing a legal petition with the Court. The State of South Carolina will be represented by the Solicitor's Office. After a formal trial the Court will decide if your license should be reinstated.
