Evanston Drug Charges Local Defense

Drug crimes in Illinois include possession, delivery, possession with intent to deliver, prescription drug charges, cannabis charges or charges from a traffic stop or search. How the evidence was obtained, whether the police acted properly, and whether the prosecutors can prove the necessary elements of the charge, usually hinge on the kind and amount of the substance. A first offense can raise serious concerns about your record, job, housing, license and future opportunities.

How Illinois Handles Drug Offense Cases

Illinois drug charges can be anything from lower level offenses to serious felonies. Prosecutors may consider the type of substance involved, the quantity involved, the packaging, what was said during the arrest, prior criminal history and whether the case involves allegations of sale or distribution. When the case has been resolved, there may be dismissal, reduced charges, diversion, probation, treatment-based outcomes or record-clearing relief. A good defense begins with a review of the stop, the search, the arrest, the lab testing and every detail in the State’s evidence.
