Columbia drug charge attorney Jason P. Peavy defends clients throughout South Carolina who have been accused of drug offenses. As a former prosecutor in the South Carolina Attorney General's office, Mr. Peavy has the experience to aggressively protect his clients' rights.
Fighting to Avoid Serious Criminal Penalties and Consequences
Law enforcement agencies and prosecutors put significant resources into drug enforcement. Attorney Jason P. Peavy is prepared to match those resources by carefully investigating and effectively defending clients against all types of drug charges, including the following:
- Simple possession: Even a relatively minor marijuana possession or other drug possession charge can have serious consequences, including imprisonment, fines, and a criminal record that may deny you access to certain jobs and student financial aid options.
- Possession with intent to distribute: If you have been accused of possessing more than a small amount of any controlled substance, the prosecutors may choose to charge you with possession with intent to distribute, which carries harsher criminal penalties.
- Trafficking: Whether you have been charged with drug trafficking in South Carolina state court or conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute in federal court, you could be facing very serious penalties, and you need an experienced defense lawyer on your side.
If you have been charged with one of these offenses or any other drug offense, Mr. Peavy can help. He regularly handles cases involving illegal drugs such as marijuana, cocaine and methamphetamine, as well as prescription drugs such as OxyContin, Percocet and Vicodin.
