Drug Lawyer for Upstate SC

Drug charges are serious in South Carolina and impacts your criminal record. Employers check your criminal record. Don’t put your future at risk! Meet Upstate SC Drug Lawyer John Crangle . Crangle Law Firm fights drug charges: from simple possession to trafficking in Upstate South Carolina.

DRUG LAWYER EXPERIENCE MATTERS

John fought and earned a 7 – 5 not-guilty verdict after a three day meth trafficking trial: the co-defendant was sentenced to 25 years. He also earned a not-guilty verdict in a possession with intent to distribute cocaine 2-day jury trial.

As an assistant public defender, John represented 400+ clients with drug charges. During that time, John developed relationships with the prosecutors. With that experience, Crangle Law Firm knows what the State’s goal in each case is. We know what a good offer is; and more importantly what a bad offer is.

South Carolina’s diversion programs are complex and the programs are not available in every case. Crangle Law Firm uses these programs to keep drug charges off your record.

For example, John represented a young student charged with possession with intent to distribute marijuana near a school. John negotiated with the prosecutor to dismiss the charges upon completion of a diversion program.  As a result the student avoided both the costs associated with a trial and the associated risk of conviction.

Drug Lawyer John Crangle fights drug charges. We’ve negotiated dismissals for drug possession, possession with intent to distribute, and trafficking charges.

John is the author of the Drug Case Tool Kit.

DEFENDING DRUG CHARGES

Drug cases are complex and have many issues. John Crangle checks:

  • Were your Fourth Amendment Rights violated?
    • Did the police have reasonable suspicion for your traffic stop?
    • Was there a warrant to enter you home?
    • Were you unlawfully frisked?
    • Were you unlawfully searched?
  • Did you possess the drugs?
    • Mere presence near drugs is not enough. The state must prove you had dominion and control over the drugs.
    • Is Another Person Responsible for the drugs?
    • Was the substance even an unlawful drug?
