WE ARE YOUR ADVOCATE

Drug Charges

Facing drug charges in the Myrtle Beach area or in South Carolina?

Consider a drug attorney that’s been defending people for over 15 years.

Whether you’ve been charged with simple possession or trafficking cocaine in South Carolina, a drug offense can have a major impact on your life.

If you’re convicted, you can have a criminal record (for life) which will make it difficult or impossible for you to get a job, qualify for financial aid or student loans, vote, carry a firearm, or enter the military.

In addition, the fines, penalties, and jail time can be severe depending on the factors surrounding the charge.

Here are a few examples of what you could be facing:

  • Trafficking in Marijuana, 3rd offense carries a mandatory 25 year jail sentence and a $25,000 fine.
  • Possession with Intent to Distribute (PWID) Cocaine, 3rd offense carries 10-30 years in jail, and/or up to a $50,000 fine.
  • Trafficking Heroin, 1st offense carries a 7-25 year jail sentence and a $50,000 fine.
The Basics of

Drug Charges

There are several different types of drug offense charges. Simple possession, possession of controlled substances, possession with intent to sell or distribute (PWID), and manufacturing, are just a few of the charges you may be facing in South Carolina.

Which offense you will be charged with typically depends on the quantity of drugs in your possession.

There are some types of charges that look at other factors, such as, if you were arrested near a school or if you sold drugs to minors.
