Chicago Drug Possession Defense Lawyer

Aggressively Protecting Your Future

At Fagan, Fagan, & Davis, our Chicago criminal defense attorneys are dedicated to protecting your rights. If you are facing drug charges in Chicago, we can help.  We have experience successfully handling drug crimes involving all types of illegal substances, including marijuana, cocaine, crack cocaine, heroin, crystal meth, PCP, LSD, ecstasy, and others.  The penalties for drug possession in Illinois depend on the specific controlled substance in question and the quantity in which it was held. Possession of a small amount of marijuana, for example, is much less serious than possession of crack cocaine or unlawful possession of a prescription narcotic. Despite the disparity in potential penalties, it is important to remember that all drug charges should be treated seriously, that all drug charges carry imprisonment as possible consequence of conviction, and that all convictions will result having in a permanent criminal record.

Our criminal defense lawyers staunchly believe in your rights to effective legal representation, your constitutional rights against unlawful search and seizure, and your rights concerning due process. Retaining an experienced and highly-trained Chicago drug crimes defense attorney may be the only chance you have of avoiding a criminal conviction.

Chicago Drug Courts and Alternative Sentencing

In Chicago, first-time offenders may seek alternative sentencing as opposed to jail time, such as treatment programs or probation officer supervision.  Drug courts allow people who are charged with drug crimes to keep their records clean and complete a rehabilitation program instead. If you are a first-time offender or if you are facing misdemeanor charges, you may want to discuss this with your defense attorney at the outset.
