You Are Facing a Drug Charge in Kershaw County. Now What?
Whether you have been charged with marijuana possession or trafficking cocaine, experience counts when it comes to choosing an attorney who has the drive and the in-depth knowledge to provide you with a top defense. As the state of South Carolina has passed tougher laws regarding drug possession, distribution, trafficking and manufacturing, the odds are stacked against you without a skilled advocate on your side.

Staying Out of Jail
The most common concern clients who are facing drug charges will ask is, "how can I stay out of jail?" To a great degree, it depends on the charge, whether it is a first offense, and whether it is in conjunction with another criminal offense (DUI, for instance). While dismissal of the charge is the ultimate goal, it is not always possible. In state charges, first offenses for simple possession, particularly of marijuana, seldom require jail time, but there is a mandatory license suspension unless we can get a conditional discharge. Pretrial intervention and drug court are other ways to help you keep your freedom. We are familiar with the procedures, and have had great success in using all tools available under the law to help our clients.
