Your Advocate in South Carolina State Criminal Court
Criminal convictions have serious repercussions. Driver's license suspension, jail time, high fines — these are only a few of the possible consequences you could be facing. A frequent and unforeseen consequence of a conviction is a loss of your right to bear arms. This applies even to the use of a gun for hunting or target practice, and to possession of a gun in your home or automobile. Even if you have only been charged with a misdemeanor, it is important to present an aggressive defense.
