What Makes JL Weaver Law Firm Different in Drug Defense

Step 01

We Challenge Every Piece of Evidence

Drug cases often fall apart when the evidence is properly challenged. We examine every aspect of your arrest: Was the search legal? Did police have probable cause? Were your rights violated? If the evidence was obtained illegally, we fight to get it thrown out.

Step 02

We Know Pickens County's Drug Court Options

Pickens County offers drug court programs for eligible defendants. We help clients navigate these alternatives to traditional prosecution, which can result in treatment instead of jail time and eventual dismissal of charges.

Step 03

We Prepare Every Case for Trial

While many drug cases are resolved through negotiation, prosecutors respect attorneys who are truly prepared to go to trial. Our trial-ready approach gives us leverage in negotiations and better outcomes for our clients.

Step 04

We Protect Your Future, Not Just Your Case

A drug conviction can impact your housing, employment, financial aid, and professional licenses. We fight not just for the best legal outcome, but to protect everything a conviction could take away from you.

A drug conviction in Pickens County can result in:
  • Jail time - Even first-time possession can lead to incarceration

Frequently Asked Questions - Drug Crimes in Pickens County

What should I do if I've been arrested for drug possession in Pickens County?

Don’t talk to police without an attorney present. Contact us immediately at 706-253-1001. The sooner we can review your case, the better we can protect your rights and build your defense.
Yes, drug charges can be dismissed if evidence was obtained illegally, if police violated your constitutional rights, or if the prosecution cannot prove their case. We’ve successfully gotten drug charges dismissed by challenging improper searches and arrests.
Not necessarily. First-time offenders may be eligible for alternative sentencing, drug court programs, or pretrial diversion. We work to keep first-time offenders out of jail and off probation when possible.
We offer transparent flat-fee pricing with payment plans available. The cost of defense is always less than the cost of a conviction. Call us for a specific quote based on your charges.
Yes, we defend both state and federal drug cases. Federal drug charges require immediate, aggressive defense due to mandatory minimum sentences and federal sentencing guidelines.
The quantity of drugs, packaging, presence of scales or cash, and other factors can elevate simple possession to intent to distribute—which carries much harsher penalties. We challenge these enhancements and fight to keep charges at the lowest level.
