What Are The Penalties Of A Drug Possession Conviction?

In Illinois, the consequences of a drug possession conviction can be steep. While penalties can vary based on the severity of the charge, you could expect to:

• Pay steep fines of up to $25,000
• Serve a prison sentence of between four and 30 years
• Lose certain civil rights such as the right to vote, the right to qualify for public housing, the ability to own a firearm and the ability to serve on a jury

Protect Your Rights And Your Record

Having a seasoned criminal defense lawyer on your side is crucial if you face drug possession charges. Police often make mistakes during traffic stops, or searches and seizures. In many cases, their mistake is illegal and violates your constitutional rights. Our attorneys have successfully argued for the suppression of drug evidence based on police misconduct.

If you are facing high-level and serious drug charges, or you have previous criminal convictions, your biggest concern may be the possibility of serving a significant jail or prison sentence. Our firm is committed to defending your rights and fighting for your desired case outcome.
