Consequences of a Drug Conviction?
The Chicago drug crimes lawyers at The Legal Defenders have been trained to understand the impact that a conviction for the violation of Illinois Drug Laws can have on an individual. In addition to the possibility of a long jail sentence, any felony conviction will make it difficult to get a job. Even a conviction for a minor marijuana charge will remain on your criminal record and will be viewed by prospective employers who may be unwilling to hire someone with a drug conviction on their record. If your child is convicted of a drug charge, their ability to obtain government student aid or college loans may be affected for a period of time after they are convicted. In addition, if you are not a citizen of the United States, a conviction for a drug offense may cause you to be deported and will never be allowed to return to the United States.
Because the impact of a conviction for a drug offense can have life-long and life-changing impacts on a client’s life, the Chicago drug crimes lawyers at The Legal Defenders take each case seriously and work within the system to obtain the best possible result for each client.
