Drug Trafficking Defense Attorney In Chicago
Under Illinois law, drug trafficking is an aspect of all the distribution charges defined in the legal code. However, drug trafficking also has many federal implications.

The High Stakes Of Drug Trafficking Charge
Drug trafficking in Illinois comes with considerably more extensive penalties than possession or distribution. In fact, depending on the weight and the substance involved in your charge, you could face extensive time. Additional factors that typically impact our clients include:
- Involving a minor in the activity in any way
- Possession or presence of a weapon in any way
- Being part of or acting for the benefit of a criminal organization in any way
- Crossing state lines
Trafficking penalties range from Class E to Class X felonies and can range from four to 30 years per charge, along with potentially enormous fines.
