Chicago Drug Crime Attorney

Why hire a drug crime lawyer?

If you have never been arrested before and are being charged with your first DUI or for simple possession of drugs, you may believe it will be easier and less costly to plead guilty to the charge and accept whatever sentence the court adjudicates. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Working with an experienced drug crime lawyer from the Law Offices of Howard J. Wise & Associates can provide options that you may not be aware of. We have the experience and skill to properly handle your case and seek to reduce the penalties you may be facing, or even have your charges dismissed altogether.

Recently, penalties for drug crimes have increased, with mandatory minimum sentences being imposed. With so much at stake, especially if you are young with your whole life ahead of you, it is crucial that you work with a Chicago criminal attorney who can be your advocate and fight to protect your legal and constitutional rights. Our firm of former prosecutors knows what defense strategies to use in your case. We have handled thousands of drug cases and are familiar with the personnel and proceedings at local courthouses throughout Cook County and the surrounding counties as well. We will speak on your behalf and shield you from the prosecution's zealous attempts to get you to confess or make statements that would not be in your best interests.

An Attorney Who Does More Than Just Represent You in Court

There are many other actions that your defense attorney will help you with, besides representing you in court. We will perform any negotiations needed in your case. We will file all necessary court motions in a timely manner, including those to suppress evidence obtained by illegal search and seizure. If you are qualified, we may be able to get your conviction off your record through the process of expungement. Our legal team will be at your side for as long as you need us to be. Your initial consultation is free and our fees are reasonable. Before you make a decision, talk with us. What price can you put on your freedom?
