Criminal Attorneys for Clients Facing Drug Charges in DuPage County and Surrounding Cities

Penalties for drug charges in Illinois are very severe. Convictions can result in heavy fines and jail time, even for seemingly small offenses. Mandatory sentencing guidelines also make it more difficult to have your sentence reduced through a plea bargain.

Drug Crimes Charges in Illinois

Depending on the type of offense, drug charges can range from Class C Misdemeanors all the way up to Class X Felonies. Drug crimes fall into three general categories:

Possession of small amounts of harder drugs such as cocaine and heroin can lead to harsh penalties. In most cases, the minimum charge is a Class 4 felony, which is punishable by fines starting at $25,000 and one to three years in jail. Trafficking and manufacturing are more serious charges that can carry higher fines and longer jail sentences. Some drug crimes fall under Illinois state jurisdiction, and some fall under federal jurisdiction. In either case, the penalties for a conviction are very severe.

At Mevorah & Giglio Law Offices, we thoroughly examine the specific circumstances of the charges against you and identify any and all holes in the prosecutor’s case that can be used to your advantage. For example, we employ constitutional defenses such as illegal search and seizure, and we aggressively cross-examine informants and police officers at trial to undermine their credibility. Even if you are only under investigation, we strongly recommend you to get in touch with us immediately. The sooner we get started on your defense, the better the chances of avoiding an indictment or trial.
