## FAQ
### What should I do if I have a bench warrant in South Carolina
Do not wait for the police to find you. A bench warrant does not go away on its own and it can lead to arrest at a traffic stop or your front door. We can often help you get ahead of it, appear before the court on your terms, and work to have you released rather than held.

### What happens at a bond hearing
A judge decides whether you can be released while your case moves forward and, if so, on what terms. Having a lawyer at that hearing can make the difference between going home and sitting in jail. We come prepared to argue for your release and reasonable conditions.

### How much does a DUI lawyer cost in South Carolina
It depends on the facts of your case and whether it goes to trial. We talk about fees openly in your first call so there are no surprises, and we make sure you understand exactly what you are paying for.

### Can I get my criminal record expunged
Some charges and convictions in South Carolina can be expunged after a waiting period, which removes them from public view. We review your history, tell you honestly whether you qualify, and handle the filing if you do.
