Our firm has the experience and resources needed to handle all sorts of cases that go to the Magistrate Court.
- Domestic violence: Accusations of domestic violence are taken seriously by the court. The outcome of the case can impact your rights and freedoms, including your right to spend time with your children, depending on the circumstances.
- Third-degree offenses: Many misdemeanors are charged as third-degree offenses.

- Possession of weed: South Carolina has not decriminalized recreational marijuana in any amount. Possession of even less than one ounce of weed can result in a misdemeanor charge with potential jail time.
