We represent people throughout the South Carolina Piedmont and from the Charlotte area who get arrested on our side of the state line. The particular risks you face depend on many factors, such as the quantity of the illegal drugs seized in your car, home or pocket; any prior drug convictions; and any evidence of drug trafficking or intent to distribute. Our lawyers can explain your options for reducing or eliminating the most serious charges against you through suppression motions, plea negotiations or trial defense strategies.
In many cases, the defendant provides the prosecution's most effective evidence through statements to police or investigators. Be aware that even in cases where cooperation with the government appears likely to save you from serious felony consequences, your own attorney's advice can help hold the government to its bargain while working toward better terms for you.
At the Schiller Law Firm, we explore all of your defense options, including the possibility of keeping the evidence against you out of the record based on illegal searches, defective warrants or unlawful traffic stops. An experienced lawyer can give you a specific idea of the strength of your defense based on constitutional or procedural problems with the state solicitor's case.
