DUI/DWI

Myrtle Beach DUI Defense Lawyer You Can Count On

Nearly one and a half million drivers are charged with DUI or drunk driving-related charges on American roads every year. Many of these people do not believe they will be able to fight these charges. The truth is the police officer pulled you over based on a suspicion of driving under the influence. The less information or evidence the prosecutor can use against you, the better chance you have of getting the charges and penalties reduced.

I am attorney Baxter Harwell of the Harwell Law Firm, in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. I have been on both sides of the DUI issues. For the first four years of my legal career, I worked with the Highway Patrol to help officers actually prosecute DWI and underage drinking and driving cases. For the past ten years I have been using my experience to help people get the best possible outcome for their case. I won't promise to beat the DUI/DWI charge. No attorney can legally or ethically make that kind of promise. But I do promise to work hard to help you fight the charges with every legal strategy at our disposal.

When experience, knowledge of DUI law, integrity, and results are all that really matters. Contact Baxter Harwell of The Harwell Law Firm, P.A. in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. You will be glad you did.

I will fight hard to save you time and money.

An experienced DUI attorney knows that the difference is in the details

Here is another promise I make to all of my clients: I will work directly with you from day one, until your case is completely resolved. It simply wouldn't make sense to turn your case over to someone who doesn't have my kind of experience. I have deep legal roots in the communities surrounding the Myrtle Beach region. I know most of the police officers, prosecutors, judges, and other legal professionals by name, and I know what strategies they will employ to attempt to convict you of DUI/DWI and keep you off the road. I pay close attention to the details of your case because I know that the difference is in the details. I promise to scrutinize every single piece of evidence that I know law enforcement will attempt to use to obtain a conviction. In doing so, and by challenging this evidence, I will fight aggressively for dismissal or reduction of charges. 

Don't say another word to the police or prosecutor without a lawyer!

You are under no legal obligation to take a field sobriety test.

It is important to remember that everything you say or do at a traffic stop is being video taped. Your best option is to remain silent and don't move around much. It is the policeman's job to try to prove that he had probable cause for pulling you over. DON'T help them by talking or doing anything that will be used against you. You are under NO obligation to perform the field sobriety test. Invoke your right to an attorney as soon as possible. If have been arrested for DUI/DWI and have refused the breath test and/or blown over the legal limit, you may be entitled to a provisional license. Contact me right away.
