- Did the police have a valid reason to search your car, house or other property?
- If a warrant was required by law, was the warrant valid?
- Were you detained without being given access to a lawyer?
- Are you eligible to participate in a diversionary program instead of going to jail or getting stuck with a large fine?
These are the types of questions that an experienced drug charges attorney can help you answer. They are also the types of questions that we need to answer to have the best chance of getting a fair result - one that does not include jail time or even a permanent criminal record.
At the Law Office of David B. Tarr, LLC, I handle a wide range of drug charges cases - from simple possession of a controlled substance to possession with intent to distribute, drug manufacture and drug trafficking. I have 12 years of legal experience, all devoted to defending the rights of South Carolinians accused of misdemeanor or felony crimes.
Convictions for Drug Charges Carry Serious Consequences
If you are fighting a drug charge, you do not want to leave your defense in the hands of an inexperienced attorney or one who does not focus on criminal defense work. Even a first conviction for simple drug possession can result in a $1,000 fine or jail time. Furthermore, you will have a permanent criminal record for committing a drug crime.
Pre-trial Intervention Programs
Pre-trial intervention programs, also called diversionary programs, are often available for first-time drug charge offenders. These programs allow qualified participants to avoid jail time and a permanent criminal record. Usually, you are required to plead guilty to the charge, after which the sentence is suspended. You are placed on probation and sometimes required to complete a drug abuse rehabilitation program. If you successfully complete your probation and any required rehab program, the conviction can be dismissed - with no permanent mark on your criminal record.
