St Charles Drug Charges Defense Lawyers

Attorneys for Clients Facing Drug Crimes Charges in Kane County

Over the last several decades, illegal drugs have been a major focus on both a state and national level. The "War on Drugs" has led to harsh criminal penalties and life-altering consequences for those who are convicted. While attitudes toward certain drugs, such as marijuana, are showing signs of change in recent years, other substances, including cocaine, heroin, and methamphetamines still present problems in local communities and around the country. Law enforcement officials may perform investigations based on suspicions that a person possesses or sells controlled substances, and they may charge a person with drug possession, drug distribution, drug manufacturing, drug trafficking, or other related offenses.

A single conviction on any type of drug charge can be extremely serious. In many cases, these offenses are classified as felonies, and even simple possession of small amounts of certain substances can result in lengthy jail sentences, large fines, and other penalties. If you have been accused of a drug crime, an experienced criminal defense attorney at Mirabella, Kincaid, Frederick & Mirabella, LLC can provide the responsible, cost-effective representation you deserve. We will help you understand the specific charges you are facing, the penalties that may be imposed if you are convicted, the strategies that may help you defend against a conviction, and the diversion programs that may be available. We will work to protect your rights at all times and help you resolve your case successfully.

The penalties for a drug charge can vary greatly depending on the circumstances of your case.

While the state of Illinois has legalized marijuana, ensuring that patients can receive prescriptions for medical cannabis and allowing adults to purchase, possess, and use marijuana for recreational purposes, there are still some situations where people may face drug charges related to this drug. Possession of marijuana in excess of the allowed amounts could lead to charges of drug possession. Growing, processing, packaging, distributing, or selling marijuana without the appropriate licenses may also lead to drug charges.
