Lanier & Burroughs - South Carolina Drug Defense Lawyers

Criminal Law Intake Form

If you have been arrested for drug possession or drug trafficking anywhere in the South Carolina Lowcountry, contact the Orangeburg drug crime defense attorneys at Lanier & Burroughs. Our lawyers will develop and pursue every possible defense in your favor, and work hard to eliminate the evidence against you. If we succeed in suppressing the evidence of drug possession based on a bad search warrant or lack of probable cause to arrest you, then the whole case usually disappears.

Our South Carolina drug trafficking defense lawyers can help you if you have been arrested in a car along Interstate 95, where law enforcement officers often stop drivers they suspect of transporting drugs. We can challenge the officers' probable cause for the arrest, the reasonableness of the search, and the adequacy of the Miranda warnings. We successfully defended a case where the only reason the car was stopped was because the driver had too many air fresheners hanging over the dash - the judge agreed with us that there was no good reason to stop the driver.

The South Carolina drug defense lawyers at Lanier & Burroughs can help you in drug cases involving:

  • Marijuana
  • Cocaine or crack
  • Methamphetamine
  • Unauthorized prescription drugs
  • Party drugs or date rape drugs
  • Meth labs or marijuana cultivation

We represent both adults and juveniles in drug charge cases, and our goal is to reduce or eliminate the charges as much as possible as early in the case as possible. For first offenders or simple possession cases, we'll work to achieve pretrial intervention (PTI) to minimize your risk of severe punishment. In marijuana cases, we can work toward a conditional discharge of the case by presenting the facts in your favor to the county solicitor.

For more information about our ability to help you in drug possession, possession with intent to distribute, or drug trafficking cases, contact the experienced South Carolina drug defense attorneys at Lanier & Burroughs in Orangeburg.
