Penalties for drug-related crimes in South Carolina can be extremely harsh and can have a negative impact on the rest of your life. Whether you are facing misdemeanor or felony drug charges, your freedom and you future is at stake and it is important that your rights are protected. At The Steele Law Firm, LLC, I understand that a conviction on even a seemingly small drug possession charge can have serious repercussions for you and a criminal record can follow you and continue to impact you long after the arrest and conviction occurs.

With so much on the line for you, selecting the right Columbia criminal lawyer is a critical and important choice and can go a long way in determining whether you have a successful outcome or a criminal record. I am a former state prosecutor and experienced criminal defense attorney who has more than 20 years of legal experience representing individuals and corporations in South Carolina. Having worked on both sides of the courtroom aisle, I have gained a keen insight into various tactics used by law enforcement officials and prosecutors which better enables me to prepare a quality defense for you and to protect your rights.

Being charged with a drug crime does not mean you are guilty!

Just because you have been charged with a drug crime does not mean you are guilty. The prosecution has to prove their case against you beyond a reasonable doubt. Law enforcement officials can, and do, make mistakes in the arrest process and in securing and handling the evidence against you. From mistaken identities or illegal search and seizures, there are numerous defenses that may apply to your case. You need an experienced criminal defense attorney to sift through the evidence and fight for your rights.

I have the experience to represent you aggressively and responsibly and will always work hard to secure a positive outcome for you. I may be able to have your charges dismissed or reduced or have the prosecution agree to allow you to enter into a pre-trial diversion program. Should we decide to proceed to a trial, I will put all of my experience and energy into aggressively advocating for you.
