Should You Talk to Police?

The most important advice for anyone charged with possession of illegal drugs is this: don’t talk to the police or anyone else before you have spoken to an experienced lawyer.

Often people charged with a drug offense think they can make their charges go away or get reduced by speaking to the police.  There is usually a promise that they will do something for you if you cooperate with them.  However, dealing with the police without representation often ends up with worse consequences. Remember, you have the right to remain silent, whether you choose to exercise this right is up to you.  Call us today at Murray Law Group, LLC, PA and let us guide you through the process and protect your rights.

Pretrial Intervention (PTI), Conditional Discharge, and Drug Court

The consequences of hiring the wrong lawyer can cost you the rest of your life. When you have Murray Law Group, LLC and our legal services attorneys represent you, we will discuss possible criminal diversion alternatives to jail or prison that may be available in your case before you go to court. In South Carolina, Pretrial Intervention (PTI) or conditional discharge may be available to you.  However, it is important to know what these programs are and if they apply to you and your offense.  Many times, individuals make an uninformed decision to enter into PTI when other options are better for them.  Before you decide to enter a diversion program, call Murray Law Group, LLC and speak to our legal services attorneys. 

Sometimes, for people charged with more serious offenses, Drug Court may be available to them.  Before you even consider Drug Court, take the time to speak with an attorney and find out if this option is available to you and, more importantly, right for you. The benefits of Drug Court can include a clean record and help cleaning up your life. However, the demands of Drug Court are great and should not be entered into lightly.

Murray Law Group, LLC also assist clients with drug diversion programs as a way to resolve the charges against them.
