Providing a Strong and Effective Criminal Defense
At the Law Office of Thomas C. Taylor, LLC, we counsel and represent individuals who are under criminal investigation or indictment. We have the experience and knowledge to handle criminal defense across a broad range of offenses, including allegations of larceny, burglary, assault and other felonies. We also represent people accused of driving under the influence (DUI) and traffic violations, such as driving under suspension (DUS), speeding and reckless driving.
Drunk Driving
Hilton Head is a relaxing vacation community, but the laws on drunk driving are vigorously applied. In fact, South Carolina imposes harsh penalties on driving under the influence (DUI). These include an automatic suspension of your driver's license — even for a first-time offense — that will follow you from state to state. You may also face jail time and fines in the thousands of dollars.
If you have been arrested for DUI, contacting an experienced criminal defense attorney can materially affect the outcome of your case. There are many ways to fight DUI citations and, as an experienced legal team, we know how to contest them successfully. We also may be able to make timely administrative appeals to save your driver's license.
Speeding and Criminal Traffic Offenses
Highway 278 is notorious for speed traps. Likewise, a number of smaller local communities actively patrol their through-ways and rural roads. If you have been accused of a traffic offense, hiring a criminal defense attorney is a smart decision. The points that are assessed for speeding tickets are reported in insurance company exchanges. Even if you don't live in South Carolina, added points may increase your insurance rates. These increases may cost you more than the fines for speeding.
