Addiction Representation

Within the past decade there has been a dramatic increase in arrests for Illegal Possesion of Prescription Drugs and Heroin.  This increased use has alarmingly increased the number of overdose injuries and deaths in the Chicago Suburbs. 

The local prosecuting authorities have taken an aggressive stance in prosecuting these cases. Preventing the damge and devastating pain inflicted on familes by these substances is the paramount goal of these agencies. 

Illinois Courts are focused on aggressive prosecution of those engaged in the trafficing and delivery of these substances. Illinois Courts are also focused on successful resolution of cases for those involved in possession of these substances, and treatment and detterence may be an available option. 

For the addict, resolution through rehabilitation instead of punishment or incarceration may be an option available. CALL MY OFFICE TODAY FOR A FREE CONSULTATION. My office has been successful in advocating that the recovered addict is much less likely to have future contact with the criminal justice system if rehabilitation is received.  

To achieve this goal, a number of programs are available and actively used by the Courts to provide sentencing alternatives of treatment instead of incarceration.  Of course, if the treatment option fails the Court's will revert to incarceration or other means of dettering conduct.
