Illinois Drug Crimes Defense Lawyer

Have you been arrested for drugs? You need a criminal defense attorney with the experience to help you put forth your best defense. As a former prosecutor and Deputy Chief in the State’s Attorney’s Office, I have extensive experience dealing with all manner of drug charges, from simple Class 4 possession to large-scale trafficking, Class X offenses, and Super Class X offenses.

If you are facing drug charges, contact me today for a free initial consultation. As a former prosecutor, I spent more than 10 years trying to convict people on drug arrest charges. I also have experience in the State’s Attorney’s Office drug unit where I prosecuted every type of Illinois drug offense, Think that gives me an advantage as a defense lawyer? You bet it does. I know how the State will prosecute your case, and I can anticipate their moves. This allows me to plan a better defense strategy. In addition, knowing how the State might proceed is valuable when deciding whether to go to trial, or if a plea bargain might be in your best interest.

Among the many drug crimes, drug charges, and drug-related legal issues with which I can provide experienced counsel include:

• possession of a controlled substance, marijuana possession, cocaine possession, crack possession, heroin possession, meth possession, meth manufacture
• intent to distribute, conspiracy to deliver, unlawful delivery
• DUI, driving while under the influence of drugs
• entrapment
• illegal search and seizure, warrantless searches
• eavesdrop orders

Make no mistake, when it comes to dealing with drug charges, experience matters. If there are holes in the State’s case, I will find them and exploit them. If the State’s case is strong, a plea bargain may be the right way to go. Knowing when to fight and when to make a deal is something that only comes with experience.

Solon, Jr. for a free initial consultation. Together, we will figure out where you stand, then weigh your options and determine the best course of action.
