Being charged with a crime in Lexington County does not mean you are guilty, but it does mean the clock is ticking. Our criminal defense attorneys at Laubshire Law Firm get to work immediately, examining the facts, identifying weaknesses in the prosecution’s case, and building a defense strategy designed to protect your future.
Criminal Charges We Defend
We represent clients in the Lexington County Court of General Sessions facing a full range of misdemeanor and felony charges, including:
- DUI and DUAC
- Drug possession and trafficking
- Assault and battery
- Domestic violence
- Burglary and theft
- Weapons offenses
- White collar crimes
- Probation violations
- Juvenile crimes
- Disorderly conduct
- Property crimes
- Underage possession of alcohol
- Murder
A criminal conviction can affect your employment, housing, child custody arrangements, and personal relationships long after you have served any sentence. We treat every case with the level of preparation it demands.
Constitutional Defenses
Under the Fourth Amendment and South Carolina Code § 17-13-140, law enforcement must follow strict procedures during searches, seizures, and arrests. When those procedures are violated, the evidence obtained may be inadmissible. Our attorneys scrutinize every step of how your case was handled, from the initial stop through booking, to look for constitutional violations that could change the outcome of your case. Additional defenses we might pursue include self-defense, mistaken identity, alibi, entrapment, insufficient evidence, and coerced confession.
Expungement
A past arrest or charge does not have to define your future in Lexington County. If your charges were dismissed, you were acquitted, or you completed a pretrial diversion program, you may qualify to have your record expunged under South Carolina law. Expungement seals your arrest from public view, reopening doors to employment, housing, and education that a visible record can close.
We Protect Your Rights
Our attorneys include a former prosecutor and a former deputy sheriff, both of whom know how the Lexington County solicitor’s office investigates and prosecutes criminal cases. That background has produced a proven track record of case dismissals, dropped charges, and acquittals for clients across the Midlands. We are available 24/7 because criminal matters do not pause for office hours.
