Greater Chicago Drug Crimes Lawyer With 20 Years of Experience

Outcomes can vary depending on each circumstance. Although our drug crime lawyers have dealt with drug crime cases for many years we still want to ensure you that we will treat your case individual from others we have worked with. We will take into consideration the factors of your situation and work with the circumstance we were given. The severity of your punishment is determined by the amount that was in possession and if it was excessive for personal use. If you are arrested for the possession of any illegal drug, serious penalties may be faced including county jail or state prison, fines and a misdemeanor or felony conviction.

How much of the drug you possess at the time of arrest, the kind of drug, if you are armed or if you have a criminal record all factor into how severe your punishment could be. Since our lawyers go to every measure to challenge any evidence that may be devastating to our case, we question everything including the probable cause for making the arrest, illegal search and seizure tactics, conspiracy charges and ancillary offenses, felony charges to seek a reduction to misdemeanor charges, and we work with the prosecutor to find a resolution that will not include jail time.

Will You Go to Jail?

Cosley drug crime lawyers have a successful record of solving drug crime cases in a manner in which our client considers acceptable. The Illinois drug laws call for stiff penalties for a conviction, but the judges and courts will take into consideration the circumstances of your case. For example, if this is your first offense, or drug possession charge, there is a possibility that the court may provide special "set-aside" programs to help you avoid jail time and set aside conviction upon successful completion.
