Drug charges can span a wide range in severity and potential consequences. Both the federal government and the state of Illinois take these matters very seriously. Without the representation of a veteran criminal defense lawyer who has experience as a drug charges lawyer, the state or feds can charge and sentence you to the full extent of the law.
As a former prosecutor, I know what kinds of charges can be brought against you, as well as the potential defenses against them. I am skilled to counter the prosecution's case against you, minimizing the charges or having them thrown out.
I am committed to fighting to defend the rights of my clients.
Cook County and Schaumburg Narcotics Defense Lawyer
From simple possession charges to trafficking charges, the case against you is dependent on the amount recovered, the circumstances surrounding how the evidence was obtained, and the testimony of witnesses.
Many times law enforcement will make serious, unconstitutional errors as they arrest suspects and obtain evidence. I will thoroughly review the details of the search and seizure in your case to find reasons that could have the matter thrown out. I also scrutinize the police reports and other documentation to find errors and unbelievable accounts that weaken the prosecution's case. The Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution prohibiting unlawful search and seizure belongs to all of us, and I intend to use it for you.
Illinois and Arlington Heights Drug Possession Lawyer
Distribution and delivery charges require proof that a transaction actually occurred. Without this proof, the case against you is circumstantial and unlikely to stand up in court, reducing the charges to possession.
I am highly successful in finding reductions to drug charges for my clients, and it is not uncommon for charges to be thrown out entirely based on lack of evidence. I know the system, and I fight it to ensure that my clients' rights are protected.
