Unpacking Drug Charges with Care
Drug cases can feel like a maze, but Chambers Law is your map. A mark on your record might mean time away, fines, or losing rights like owning a gun—especially if it’s not your first time or something big like trafficking. Trent Chambers, once a prosecutor and federal drug case insider, sees all the angles. Whether it’s a small slip or a big mix-up, we’ll work to soften the hit or clear it entirely, keeping your future bright.
What Drugs are Trouble in SC?
South Carolina’s rules (S.C. Code § 44-53) split controlled stuff into five levels—Schedule I’s the toughest, like meth, heroin, or ecstasy, down to Schedule V, like cough meds with codeine. Marijuana’s still a no-go here, even if you’ve got a medical pass from somewhere else. Schedules matter—higher ones mean bigger risks if you’re caught. But if it’s yours with a legit prescription, you’re in the clear. We’ll check the details to make sure it’s fair.
Common Drug Situations We Tackle
Here’s what you might face—and how we step up:
- Possession: Having drugs on you or nearby—say, in your car. First cocaine bust? Up to 3 years. Second? Up to 10. We’ll prove it’s not yours or question the stop.
- Making or Sharing: Growing pot or caught with baggies? That’s distribution. We’ll look at the evidence—maybe it’s not what it seems.
- Trafficking: Big amounts, big trouble—up to 25 or even 40 years. It’s heavy, but we’ll challenge the pile-on.
From weed to pills, Chambers Law digs in—did they search right? Handle it properly? We’ll find the cracks.
Marijuana: Still a Fight in South Carolina
Unlike some states, South Carolina’s strict on pot. Even a little can mean a misdemeanor and more could tag you with intent to sell. As a lifetime member of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML), Chambers Law knows these laws cold—whether it’s your first or a step up, we’ll push to keep it small or toss it out.
Your Rights, Our Mission
Arrested? Stay quiet—don’t hand them ammo. We’ll jump in, checking for slip-ups like bad stops, shaky evidence, or rights ignored. Illegal search? Drugs not yours? Chambers Law’s got strategies to shift the odds—dismissal, lighter charges, or a diversion if it fits.
Why It’s a Big Deal
A drug charge can ripple—time away, a record that sticks, or campus trouble if you’re a student. Trafficking’s the heaviest, but even possession stings. We’re here to show you’re more than this moment—maybe you’re just a regular person in a tough spot. Attorney Chambers tailors the plan, whether it’s negotiating, challenging, or telling your story right.
