Maybe you entered a property you thought was public. Maybe there was no clear sign—or maybe you were there for a legitimate reason, but law enforcement didn’t see it that way.

Understanding Trespassing Charges in Rock Hill, South Carolina

Under South Carolina law, trespassing isn’t always as straightforward as it sounds. There are several types of trespass, including:

• Entering without permission
• Entering posted property or remaining unlawfully
• Violating a no-trespassing notice, either verbal or written
• Being on commercial, school, or government property without permission

Depending on the charge, trespassing can be classified as a misdemeanor, punishable by:

• Fines
• Jail time (up to 30 days)
• A permanent mark on your criminal record

We understand the law—and more importantly, we know how to challenge the assumptions that led to your arrest.
