Arrested for DUI While Visiting Myrtle Beach? Here's What You Need to Know

Many people arrested for DUI in Myrtle Beach are not from South Carolina. Whether you were in town for Bike Week, CCMF, or a beach vacation, a DUI arrest can follow you home and disrupt your life in ways you might not expect.

At Hopkins Law Firm, we help out-of-state drivers handle DUI charges in Myrtle Beach—without needing to fly back for every hearing.

Will I Lose My License at Home?

South Carolina is part of the Interstate Driver License Compact, meaning your home state will likely learn about your DUI charge. If you don't act quickly, you could face:

• Automatic suspension of your driver's license

• Points or penalties in your home state

• A criminal record that follows you

We can help you request a temporary license and fight to avoid penalties back home.

Do I Have to Come Back to Myrtle Beach?

In many cases, we can appear in court on your behalf and manage the process remotely. If you do need to appear, we'll let you know in advance and prepare you fully.
