Drug Crime Defense in Greer

Drug crime charges in Greer carry severe penalties under South Carolina law, from simple possession misdemeanors to trafficking felonies that can result in decades in prison and hundreds of thousands in fines, making immediate legal representation crucial for protecting your freedom and future.

The Law Office of H. Chase Harbin provides aggressive defense against all types of drug charges including possession, trafficking, manufacturing, and prescription fraud in both state and federal courts throughout the Greer area. Our firm employs proven defense tactics including unlawful search challenges, chain of custody disputes, and lack of evidence motions.

With Greer's location along major interstate corridors increasing drug enforcement activity, even minor possession charges can escalate to trafficking allegations based on quantity and location, requiring experienced legal counsel to navigate complex sentencing guidelines and potential plea agreements.

South Carolina imposes harsh penalties that vary significantly by drug type and quantity, with marijuana possession carrying up to 30 days for first offenses while cocaine trafficking mandates minimum 25-year sentences for amounts over 400 grams. Prescription fraud and manufacturing charges often result in federal prosecution with enhanced sentencing guidelines.

Our defense strategy begins with challenging the initial search and seizure, examining chain of custody procedures, and identifying gaps in the prosecution's evidence that can result in charge reductions or complete dismissals. We've successfully defended clients in cases where evidence was excluded due to constitutional violations.

If you've been recently arrested for drug charges in Greer, our office provides 24/7 legal help to ensure your rights remain protected from the moment of arrest through final case resolution.
