South Carolina Drug Crimes Attorneys
Anyone arrested on drug charges needs to vigorously and aggressively defend their rights. In drug crimes cases, it's not unusual for the government to initiate criminal forfeiture proceedings in order to hamper the accused's ability to defend himself. Under state and federal law, the government can seize any assets or properties it can reasonably claim a person acquired through the proceeds of illegal drug activity, freezing bank accounts, impounding cars, and taking homes. Additionally, when drugs are found in a home or car, prosecutors aren't always concerned about determining who actually owned the drugs. As a result, people who are innocent or guilty of a lesser criminal charge can find themselves facing prison, heavy fines, and a permanent criminal record related to drug crimes charges.

If You Decide to Agree to a Plea Bargain
Depending on the circumstances of your case, it may be in your best interests to work with prosecutors to reach a plea bargain arrangement. Since prosecutors are often interested in resolving cases without going to court, pleading guilty to the charges against your or a lesser charge may reduce your penalties. In drug smuggling and drug manufacturing cases, prosecutors are often willing to reduce the sentence of a person who agrees to provide information to investigators or testify against others.
Our attorneys can advise you of the options available to you and work with prosecutors to reduce the charges or sentence against you.
