rug Crimes cover a broad range of offenses, from the less severe, like simple possession of a small amount of certain drugs, to the more serious, such as participation in an ongoing drug-related criminal enterprise or manufacturing and distributing drugs. The consequences of a conviction for drug offenses range from probation to lengthy prison sentences, depending on the facts of the case and any prior criminal record. Charges involving the manufacture, transport, and sale or distribution of controlled substances are felonies in Illinois and can carry severe penalties, including jail time or prison even for first-time offenders.

At the Law Offices of Howard J. Wise & Associates, we provide expert criminal defense for individuals who have been arrested and accused of all types of drug crimes.  Our experienced criminal defense attorneys are driven to aggressively defend the rights of clients in all Illinois criminal courts. Our Firm consists of former criminal prosecutors who have handled thousands of drug cases throughout their careers. We appear regularly in all the Cook County courtrooms as well as courtrooms in other surrounding areas such as DuPage, Lake, Kane and Will Counties. Our attorneys have both prosecuted and defended thousands of adults and juveniles charged with drug offenses. We know the system from both sides and will explore ways to get you the best possible result. You may have many defenses of which you are unaware, including an unlawful police search or seizure. If the arrest or search was illegal, evidence obtained as a result of the illegal police conduct cannot be used against you at trial and the case will likely be dismissed.

We know how the system works and can help you defend your case. An aggressive defense of your case typically starts early in the proceedings. A lawyer may file motions to challenge the arrest, suppress evidence or otherwise confront weaknesses in the prosecution's case. These motions are typically resolved prior to trial and, if successful, may result in the case being dismissed.

At the Law Offices of Howard J. Wise & Associates, we provide expert criminal defense for individuals who have been arrested and accused of all types of drug crimes, including but not limited to the following:

• Delivery of Cannabis
• Delivery of a Controlled Substance

 If you are under investigation or have been arrested and charged with a drug crime, you need a skilled aggressive advocate to fight and protect you every step of the criminal process.  You need a lawyer who knows from years of experience on both sides of the courtroom how to achieve the results you desire, even when you do not believe these results are possible.
