It’s daunting to face drug trafficking charges, but you are not alone when you have me on your team. I am William G. Yarborough Attorney At Law, a Greenville drug trafficking lawyer with more than 25 years of experience. Previously, I served as an Assistant U.S. District Attorney and a public defender.

Having served the Midlands and upstate region for decades, I understand the complexities of your situation. My practice is devoted to safeguarding your rights and securing a favorable outcome for your case. If you’re charged with serious drug crimes, including federal offenses, it’s crucial to have me on your side.

Understanding Drug Trafficking Charges

Drug trafficking is not merely the act of selling drugs or transporting them across state lines. It also constitutes crimes involving controlled substances that surpass the weight limits in South Carolina. The weight of the controlled substances involved determines the severity of the charges against you. The higher the weight of the drugs involved, the harsher the charge – and the sentence.

The Serious Nature Of Drug Trafficking Crimes

Drug trafficking stands as one of the most serious drug offenses due to its implications and potential sentences. South Carolina has stringent laws and the penalties of a conviction are life-altering. Consequences can vary greatly, but here are some common sentences:

  • Prison terms of more than one year
  • Fines of thousands of dollars
  • Mandatory minimum incarceration sentences
  • Forfeiture of assets
  • Permanent offenses on your criminal record
  • Supervised probation

These penalties can harm your career, educational options and housing options forever. That’s why having a dedicated criminal defense attorney is imperative. I work tirelessly to protect your legal rights throughout the process, negotiate a plea bargain if optional and defend you in court tenaciously.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I need a lawyer?

If you have been charged with a crime, arrested, or under investigation then you need a lawyer.

When you’re charged with a crime, there may be potential penalties that you’re not aware of. But there are ways to defend against the charges, too. Your lawyer can strategize for your case. They can represent you in court and to the prosecutor, putting their expertise to work for you.

Even if the charges don’t seem significant now, they may affect you in the future. Your lawyer defends your freedom and your best interests. If you’re facing a criminal charge or police investigation, contact a criminal defense lawyer.

What steps should I take immediately to protect my rights?

If you’re arrested or charged with a crime, be polite – but don’t consent to any search. Politely say that you refuse to answer any questions. Don’t resist the law enforcement officer.

Exercise your right to remain silent. This includes law enforcement officers before and after the arrest. It also means not talking to others at the police station, your friends, extended family, and social media. The things you say can be used against you.

Ask to contact your lawyer. Then call us right away. We can represent you at your next court hearing. Save everything that you think may be relevant to the case.

How long will my case take?

Every case has a different timeline depending on the severity and facts of the case. Some criminal charges can be resolved in just a few weeks. Others can take several months.

As your lawyer, William G. Yarborough will help you balance the various factors. It can take time to build defenses and/or negotiate a favorable plea agreement. It may be worth it to wait to go to trial. Other times, it’s best to take a plea deal.

What’s right for you depends on multiple factors. Attorney Yarborough can advise you on what he thinks is your best course of action.

Will my case go to trial?

There may be non-trial options available to you. You may secure a plea bargain or a pre-trial case diversion. Sometimes, preliminary motions can result in charges being dismissed.

However, you always have the right to a trial. In a trial, the prosecutor must prove the charges against you beyond a reasonable doubt.

Most cases don’t end up going to trial. But what matters is your case. Attorney Yarborough will work with you on a personalized case plan that reflects your interests and goals.

If your case does go to trial, Attorney William G. Yarborough is prepared to aggressively defend you in court.
